This afternoon I went to bring in the trash bin, it must have been around 2:00 p.m. I looked over to the corral and could see Walter in the far eastern corner. It was cold and it was drizzling so came back inside.
Today with it being cold, I did not bother to open the kitchen blinds until later in the afternoon. To my surprise when I did, I saw that Walter was back at Mom's house. He mainly stayed in the area by his corral where he continued to look after Dulcinea.
If I am to believe the weatherman...tonight it is supposed to sleet and get down below freezing. I am so glad he will spend the night here.
Ralph did not show up today. Hope he is warm and dry.
My little Walter

Back in his nasty corral
I do not know what is wrong with his owners. Here I thought they finally were being conscientious and looking after his well being. Sunday afternoon they came and got him and I figured they would bring him back after they fed him dinner since rain was in the forecast.
No...they did not and though it did not pour, it drizzled and there he was in that damp corral with that nasty bacterial mud up to his ankles.
The cold front came in last night and today it has drizzled and rained all evening. If they do not want to bring him back here fine but why do they not get him out of that nasty corral?
Dulcinea though not in the corral did not fair any better in the cold and damp evening.
Ralph has been coming and eating at least one meal daily except for today. Cats do not like rain...hope he is in a warm place tonight.

That worthless teenager...grrrrr!
I thought it was odd that every time I looked towards the corral, I did not see Walter. Yesterday I had washed some socks and hung them to dry on the clothesline. When I remembered it was already dark and I didn't feel like looking for the flashlight. Anyhow the weatherman has been wrong all week and I did not think it would rain.
This afternoon I went to fetch them and to my surprise it had rained! When did it take place? I did not see or hear anything. All my socks were soaking wet. That is when I heard Walter neighing loudly. Wondered what was up?
Was walking back to the front of the house when I saw that he was in our property. He was neighing because the worthless teenager was giving him food but he was too lazy to walk it over and was dumping it over the fence in an area full of old wood scraps, nails and thorny plants.
I felt bad because I had no idea how long he had been at mom's house and I had not put out water for him. I also felt bad since I have not gone to buy him his horse pellets because the trunk of my car is full with bags of clothes for a future trip to the laundromat that never seems to take place.
He has pretty much eaten all the native grass and weeds that he can at mom's. A horse as big as Walter requires a good amount of food. His owner bought a new bale of hay last weekend but he covered it up perhaps to protect it from the rains that never fell until today.
I walked up to the corral and with the rain it was a soggy mess. Glad at least they brought him over and not make him stand in that filth.
Even the area with that so called "shade" over it was wet. There are at least three able bodied men in that house bet they could clean this corral in less than an hour. As much as that teen is on the Internet, he could google how to manage horse manure like John does at The Field Lab.
I get such a kick out of this darn rooster. He was supervising the feed...he should of attacked the darn teenager as he was doing it wrong!
Since it was already late in the day and the lazy teenager was feeding him, it is a good bet he is going to spend the night here. Earlier this evening I went to look if he was still here but our backyard is very dark and I could not see him. Walter like Ralph never respond when I call out to them.
With regards to Ralph he went missing for two days, came back yesterday for dinner and I have not seen him since. Here is a picture of him in his now favorite place to sharpen his claws as well as supervise me as I do outside chores :)
