When I went out to the barn to collect up the buckets for the horses' breakfasts this morning, I found two out of the three of them, but the big triangular corner one that Lizzie uses was missing. I thought I had collected them all up after they ate last night and set them in the tack room but there were only two. I started to go look in Lizzie's stall to see if I forgot to pick hers up and I happened to glance into Duke's stall on the way --- oh good grief! I must have left Lizzie's container on that chair outside Duke's stall because he apparently picked it up, dropped it on the floor in his stall . . . and used it for a potty!
I'm not kidding! It was completely FULL of poo. He had to have backed up to it to poo more than once through the night!! (Hmm. Wonder if Duke's trying to tell me he needs an "en suite" stall!!)
But all of them obviously DO love their barn even though it isn't done. It's raining out there at the moment and all three of them are inside in their stall, looking out their door. Makes me feel really good to know that now that they have a choice they do choose to stay inside, out of the rain! (If they didn't come inside I'd probably feel really guilty about having locked them in their stalls when they were over at Al's to keep them out of the rain then!)
