Has there ever been a more ruggedly handsome pig than Reno?  I had to move him into an old enclosure so I could make changes to his place.

There is a story behind the busted pallet. His temporary housing had a floor of 2 pallets.   The first thing he did was to haul them out and stomp  them.  It seems he would rather sleep on the ground. Yes, he is back in his regular housing, and yes, I cleaned up his temporary housing after his temper tantrum.

Constitutes ~90% of my wife's waking hours -- repairing pig-damaged housing!  

Handsome dude!.....
