Watty's Awakening

BT been and repaired the line fixings and at no cost which was a great deal as I thought I would have to pay for that. Builder said they would do it FOC and they did.
WattyDog guarded enthusiastically. So much so I had to stop work and keep him company and offer treats for quiet calm dog. When PPH finally moved out and left WattyDog behind I really couldn't cope with him, his training had been ruined and he was just so lively and exhausting. Now I am sad to see the aging and how his little body is wearing out and I love him so much. I am so lucky that PPH was indeed a PPH as i got to keep the dog 😍

WattyDog was also lucky that PPH was too selfish to take him away. You have given him a very lovely life.

I really don't want to think about PPH anymore. WD was so very lucky that you've looked after him so well & it seems that PPH really didn't care about him, just the leverage. WD & VNM plus you are an ideal team @Watty1

@Daisy I think there may have been purloined lunch, his ears itch if he eats gluten and there has been a lot of head shaking so circumstantial evidence points to gluten.

The person who is paid to clear up after ponies poop in their stable and the field has got very behind with the job. The stables are good but the field is a mess, so, I tackled her this week but it seems she was under the impression that VNM had said he would help get on top of it. Now I am not entirely sure that this is true and VNM is not either although he does recall discussing it with her and asking if she wanted to use the poop hoover as it had been repaired. I am irritated as her bill is the same as ever - and - she clearly has not done the job however given the confusion I am going to pay her bill for July and then keep a proper check on this for August.
VNM and I made a decision to clear the field ourselves today and then suggest that this month she either keeps on top of it or reduces her hours and thus her bill. I really don't want to her to leave, but, equally I cannot pay her if she is not doing the job. Irritated but the sun is shining and we can all be outside so will enjoy that small win.

@Watty1 - that is a very reasonable assumption on your part - I'd have made much the same descision!

Thanks @rtandon27 and @daisy_1571 It took most of the day for us to clear one field and my mood steadily got darker when I realised the other resting field is as bad. However I will stick to the plan, get the slate clean and start over for August. So we will try and do the other field tomorrow so I can speak to her on Monday about staying on top of things now and that given the drought no harrowing will be taking place AND the poop hoover and quad cannot be used by her. I initially thought they could but the filter on one is playing up and I can only apply the handbrake by using both hands whilst standing all my weight on the foot brake. VNM laughed and agreed that this was not particularly 'health and safety'
However it is the 1st August and I have a plan, I keep reminding myself we can get this sorted this month.
