Even when I call him a couple of times throughout the day to REMIND him to make sure Bailey has food and water on her stand he STILL doesn't do it. If the dogs water bowl is empty it goes unnoticed and will stay that way. I really worried when I went to a dog show a few hours away and left him in charge for the whole WEEKEND. I called and reminded him over and over again to make sure the birds had food and water and that the dogs water bowl(s) were full. Of course when I got home Sunday night the cockatiels hadn't been fed or watered AT ALL all weekend, Bailey had no food and no water on her stand that she had been on all day, and the dogs water bowl was bone dry. I could go on and on, but you get the gist of it.
