100 degrees, feels like 110.
went home over lunch and sprayed down a portion of the pig pen where they have rooted in the cool dirt.
pigs need access to shade due to their light skin color, else they burn.
they also need ample space to wallow to keep cool as pigs don't sweat like people do.
fresh cool water is a must.
keep water in the shade.
oy, i think its time for a piglet baby pool.

a windy summer day
clothes on the line flap like flags in the wind.
my hair whisps in every direction.
i'm looking forward to the following...
3. give hens fresh cold water.
4. PIGLETS PIGLETS PIGLETS!!!!
the humidity is gone, the breeze is alive and well.
today is a beautiful day!
i'm looking forward to the following...
1. quick run to tractor supply to grab a bale of straw (to be stuffed in the trunk of the corolla) and a bag of pig feed (which will sit like a passed out sack of potatoes in the front seat of the car).
2. let dogs out...check up on chickens. 3. give hens fresh cold water.
4. PIGLETS PIGLETS PIGLETS!!!!
i'll let the piglets out in the field to run, play and root...what a site this will be.
its been awhile since i've had younger pigs and i'm excited to have these two at home.
hello evenings outside with the pigs, oh how i've missed you.
i'm gilty
i brought home 2 gilts yesterday evening.
impulsive
on the fly
...and thrilled!
a farmer friend purchased 15...for his first experience with hogs. he has the time and space and a friend who begged to purchase a pair. i picked these two and without hesitation picked their squealing screaming bodies by their back legs and put them in their hay filled crate to be driven home.
the girls seemed pleased with their new home and i'm excited to completely strip the straw bedding from the previous pigs (its a bit dusty in there) and fill it with new straw for these two.
so thrilled to be back in the pig game!

Please Donate!!!
No no no, not to fund my out of control lifestyle, but to help stop the dog food trade in Asia.
The Soi Dog Foundation helps rescue, rehab, and adopt dogs who would otherwise be sold for me.
The condition of these animals is horrid. Learn more here:
