Caution very sad news! CHECK THE WATER FOR ALL YOUR ANIMALS!
Over the weekend while in Weatherford, Texas we got news of horses with NO WATER. Last week in Denton County there was cows found the same way! It is too hot and these guys can not turn the water on themself! It has been 100+ all last week with a higher heat index.
The way we do it with 13 horses, 3 donkeys, 10 goats, 2 sheep, 1 steer, 16 dogs, 34 cats at our place is check all water, hay and health fisrt thing in the morning and again as soon as we get home from work before we go in the to change, then everybody gets dinner and fresh water, then we go eat same deal everyday! Animals first us second!.

What is the world is wrong with some humans. How so very sad. What a horrible death. Reiki sent to those beautiful horses for their last journey over the Rainbow Bridge.

There was a story on the Tyler news the other day reporting about some cows that had died from the heat and lack of water. A gate had shut behind them and they couldn't get back to water. So make sure your gates are secured if your animals go from one pasture to another and one doesn't have any water.

Yes, that was the other deal I posted about Denton County. Maybe it was further east, but local news say Denton. Should have seen the new report on that, they was showing it on the news from the air. Really another bad deal!
