We went down to Bob's to feed horses this morning, and immediately observed that things were not as we were expecting them to be. (they were supposed to be leaving at 5 am or something).
They were gone, but the horses were out, he'd told us that they would be in. They appeared to have hay out there, so we figured he'd decided to put them out this morning before they left, and he must have fed them already?
There was no note or money in the cat food, where they said they'd leave it... what the heck is going on?
The pony was in her stall, and didn't appear to have hay, so we fed her some hay and sat and wondered whether he'd given her the bute already. We tried to call the cell phone, no answer. Since she didn't have hay or fresh water, we decided he hadn't done anything with her, so we decided to give her half a bute, just in case. Decided that a double dose probably wouldn't kill her.
We cleaned stalls and wandered around, and cussed a lot about Bob not giving us clearer instructions!
Before we left we made sure everyone had water and called it good.

Bob's VERY nice new trailer... You should feel the floor mats in this thing, they're like walking on a foam pad, very soft, almost feel like gel pads.
And this is their new 'guard llama'. She's to protect the alpacas from coyotes supposedly. She is very serious, and very intimidating. I just think any minute a green stream of spit is going to come out of her.
The alpacas were at the other end of the pasture, didn't get any pictures of them. Hubby still wants a couple alpacas for his birthday. :~)
Anyway... that's not quite the end of the story yet... we get home, there's two messages from Bob. One was from last night, so he's off the hook for all the cursing we did of him, he did leave a message, the other one was from this morning, about the same time we were heading down there. "You don't need to come down and feed this morning... I didn't go on the trip".
Gah! I don't know where he was when we got there, he wasn't home, so he got his stalls cleaned for free, I think... The only downside is the pony might have been double dosed with bute.
