Henri lost his owner

I brushed him and played Strauss music on my phone for him and that made him eat and relax. He ate very little though. He wanted the apple more than anything else. He fell asleep for 30 minutes.

 

He wasn’t fed or seen by anyone for 2 days. There was no water either for that time. I had to bring a hose from my garden because theirs was broken.

 

He probably did not sleep at all. The temperature here these days is between 36 F (2 C) at night and 58F (14C) in daytime. It’s windy and very cold. Police fed him yesterday. His closest neighbors had no idea their neighbor is dead. Now they are traumatized. They stepped in to help with the animals this morning. There were also 3 dogs in the house with the owner. The dogs witnessed her death and lived with her dead for 2 days

 

From what I heard, the owner rescued Henri 4 years ago from slaughter, after being abused by his previous owners. They used to nail his ears, beat him, starve him, who knows what else they did to him ……

 

Jennifer at least gave him a safe life, even so it was very lonely for this mule.

 

He probably chew the wood because he was hungry and he was trying to escape or go help his owner who was suffering and dying in the house. Or maybe because of loneliness, or all the traumas he has experienced in his life

 

People should not have animals if they live alone. Or they should have friends that are connected to on a daily basis. Animals are not furniture. They are sentient living beings!

 

Anyway I will take him for a walk tomorrow.
