Hey all, went out of town on Tuesday to the lake where my grandparents live. Just got home today. My brother was in charge of the rabbits and dogs. I called him and text’d him everyday making sure he was keeping up with everything.
Let me tell you I came home to a disaster of poop. He sure watered and fed them well….but he didn’t change the literboxes for 4 days…..
I change them everday.
I had poop covering my entire floor and my bed had multiple pee stains and tons of poop. I am still doing laundry at 11pm.
I guess I should just be happy he did the most important things well? *sigh*
Even more discouraging news, on the way home we stopped by at the stable to check on our horse Opie. He was acting very pissy and pushing me and kicking his gate and biting the door. Then when my mom lunged him he was trying to gallop away and buck and do all this crazy stuff that he NEVER does. After he got his brain back he was cantoring and walking nicely – then when he was on the tie rack he proceeded to try to untie himself and eat grass. So…after he was put away and given his lunch….we go to fill his grain bowel and…all 3 bags of his grain which has his probiotics, vitamins, and joint suplements and wormer……the lady that was supposed to feed him didn’t. What the heck right? (my mom pre-bagged everything for her for each day) How do you just not do something like that when you were hired to do that. My mother is RAGING. No wonder Opie was acting like a mennace. Not only did he not get his feed that is given to him daily, he also was not let out for excercise for 4 days. (He didn’t starve they do give him hay 3 times a day but it’s not good to just skip on the vitamins and meds for 4 days…) So needless to say we aren’t counting on that lady ever again to watch Opie and I am sure there will be a huge stink raised about it at the barn. You can’t just say you will care for someone’s horse while they are on vacation then don’t do it? Seriously my mind is boggling.
