He came to graze

Mom called out to me because she saw this big brown thing by the garage and did not know what it could be.  Looked out the window and it was half of Walter's body, lol.

It was 11:15 a.m. but we have no idea what time they brought him.  Went to check that they had raised the barbed wire and they had.  Then went about filling up his water containers.

I was not expecting him but I am so glad his owner brought him.  He ate and ate going from one lot to the other and drank freshly poured water.

I did see a man but it was not his owner, weed eating by the lot where his corral sits.  Glad Walter got to graze and also that his feet were not in that wet and nasty mud.

Some parts are still wet so he left his hoof prints :D

He left like he arrived...without notice.  I got busy and by the time I went outside he was already in his corral.  At least tonight I do not have to wonder if he is hungry or has water.

The downside to rain

We had been warned that rains were in the forecast but they do not always materialize. We were expecting rains last night but they arrived this morning.  I love rain, this area of Texas is experiencing extreme drought conditions and they are needed and welcomed.

The only downside to rain is poor Walter and his soggy corral.

After the rain stopped, I went to check on him and he came up to me with his sad eyes and shaking his head back and forth.  Decided to feed him early before the next batch of storms arrived.

I usually do not feed him until after ten o'clock at night, to give his worthless owners the opportunity to do what is their responsibility to do. For a while now they have only been feeding him in the morning, if they feed him at all.
