I like how you treat Sparky. In one of your blogs you avoided caging him when you left your house- thats nice.
You really know how to think about what Sparky maybe feeling emotionally. Hope hes getting to eat the dog food without “corn as the first ingredient.”
Also hope, your cement bag wall holds up. Another way to have built it would have been to turn the bags the other way so as to have made the wall thicker. Then set each row a few inches back from the row your stacking on. This way the wall is staggered back from toppling foward .
I recently read a book called “Animals in Translation”, by Temple Grandin. She is a mildly famous animal behaviorist. I’m going to post about it because there was so much interesting stuff about how animals think.
Being retired, I have time to spend on Sparky’s emotional and intellectual well-being. That’s also why I can over-think his food situation. Being a little fella, it only costs like a buck a day to feed him the good stuff.
Joe was lobbying for the head-wall approach you describe. I was going for quick and pretty easy. There is an exposed high pressure natural gas pipeline about 20 feet downstream. The company that owns it came out and took photos. They will eventually come out and do something. There is a decent chance they will tear out my land-bridge, put in a big culvert pipe and bury the stream all the way across my backyard.
