When I got back last Friday the first thing I noticed was that the only mesquite tree (more like a twig) that served as shade for Walter was dead. How can this be? Mom said Walter only came around twice and the last time the owner’s kid let him out he went to eat grass along the median and almost got hit by a car. So the kid started yelling at him and took him back to his corral and has not let him out since.
I do not know much of anything about horses but the times he has been here and I have been supervising him…I noticed they pee a lot! Wish I had know that horse urine would kill mesquite trees, I figured NOTHING would kill those darn trees! Need to go talk to the owner maybe he can tie Walter to one of the many trees we have and kill a whole lot of them :D
This afternoon I went to his corral and he just looked at me with his sad eyes. Noticed that one of his water barrels was on its side and another had been taken out and was not even within reach of him apart from having a cover on top, so I am guessing it did not even have water.

I am at a loss as who to call to complain anymore. At least it rained some so he got a little relief.
Yesterday we had to go run a lot of errands around town including taking Mom to get some blood work done as tomorrow morning she has to go have some routine x-rays at the hospital. We have to be there early and neither mother nor I are morning people.
Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
