After several years, wildlife has found a way into the treat bin at the barn. Now that they know what lies within, sealing one hole just means a second hole in a different spot the next day.
Sigh.
We will need a new container. Plastic is out. Don’t want glass at the barn. Metal it is. A large coffee can would be great, but they’d gnaw right through the lid. First Horse had a small trash can for feed at shows which would work, but it is either hiding in the basement or got heaved at some point. Probably will have to locate one in the wider world.
Meanwhile, we must remember to take the cookies with us when we go to the barn. On more than one occasion I have had to stop, turn around, go back to house, stock up, resume.
Treats are entrenched in their daily routine. Whether this is a good idea or has gotten out of hand is a separate discussion. The point is, they expect it. The other point is, forgetting is not approved minion behavior.
Rodney: I have performed my task. Where’s my cookie?
Me: Umm …
Onwards!
