Upon returning home from my 3 mile walk, I was greeted by our horse. As I was standing loving on him, I saw the pigs had once again managed to get into our pasture. I was already tired from exercising, but I knew what had to be done. I sounded the alarm to the children, called my husband at work, and we quickly manned our posts to return the pigs to their proper area. It took us just a little over an hour and a half this time around to return the 4 little pigs back into their home. One of the pigs is too fat to get through the holes. My goal for the remainder of this year and early next year is to fatten up the other three pigs!! I do know one thing that will be on our family's chore list for the weekend...installing electric fence around the pig pen. I am tired of chasing the little oinkers!!!grace and peace,

Aren't pigs fun! Ours escaped a couple of times but were so greedy that they were easy to tempt back with pellets in a bucket. It is very frustrating when you have to spend such a lot of time catching them. I have had this problem in the past with trying to shut in ducks for the night. Keep smiling! I am really enjoying all your posts even though I don't often leave a comment. Best wishes Tracy
Hi Julie... I am a new reader and just had to say how much I enjoy your blog!
I know that it probably wasn't funny but I had to smile a little when you were talking about having to round up the pigs again...they are determined little buggers, aren't they!
Have a blessed day!
Tracy,
Yes, pigs are busy. I think ours enjoy the freedom as much as the food! Thanks for the compliment.
grace and peace,
