They have a gate! But he was tethered out on some neighbor’s property or some such, and freed himself. The animal care around here can be very hit or miss, and it drives me bonkers sometimes. He’s in better shape than most, but I can’t take (or buy) them all.
This morning’s report, brought to you by the letter U - because Ugh, it’s hot and I’m altogether Unmotivated.
Something’s changed about Ernie. He looks different suddenly, and I can’t put my finger on it.
Bert’s looking grumpy because it’s hot. I don’t blame him.
Not grumpy enough to miss checking for cookies
Shower time
Ernie and Peach were also subjected to shower time after being haltered. Ernie’s still holding pretty firmly to his theatrical performances about the hose, but we’ll get there. It’s going to get HOTTER later this week (and later this summer), and my head hurts trying to come up with the best management plan. Normally I’d kick them all out into pastures where there is tons of shade, but that has been an epic fail so far with how bad the bugs are this year.
I’ll even go look for a fancy one!
they have never been this bad. They are much less of an issue when the horses are in the paddocks vs out in the field, probably because the paddocks are up by the barn and the dragon flies do an awesome job of zooming around that area.
