Hi all;
I've been remiss about introducing this year's piggies.
Minor dental issues and a broken wrist have kept me occupied this spring.
Earlier today I passed thru the big town of Thompson Falls, MT.
A quick stop at the Harvest food store $2 got me a large box full of out-of-date produce.
After stuffing their piggie snouts the kids just dropped and fell asleep, a classic piggie food coma!
The all-white pig is The little shit.
The all-black pig is Rosco Piggie.
And the floppy-eared one is Porky Pig.      
They have a date on November 1st with the butcher.
Until then it's all the grain they desire, fresh cold mountain water, lots of grass, and soon lots of apples, and more produce from harvest and from our garden..

What a carefree life they will lead up until their date with the butcher.

I have to ask, how did the little shit earn his name??

Well, the short version is, he had the runs really bad when he first arrived...
But clean water, good grass, and lots of grain have got him back with the program!

And just how many escape plans were they dreaming up during that food coma?

Where's the weak spot in the fencing this year?

I am impressed by the gate. The gates for my Kunes are old pallets.
