This morning we were awaken by our dogs' barking. Most dog owners would agree dogs are kind of like babies they have different cries for different needs. You can tell most of the time by their cries (or in this case barks) that something is up or not right. So the dogs were barking like something was up so we got out of bed to see what was going on outside. Now, I know I already had like a billion posts about our escape artist, "breakfast" the pig. This time it was not just one pig that escaped, not even 2, it was ALL 3 of them! Yup they were ALL out of the pig pen! Breakfast is such a bad influence! I think he's been teaching the others how to get out! This time they actually broke the fence and all of them just got out!
Needless to say we spend our morning trying to get all the pigs back in the pig pen. Luckily two of them were actually rather cooperative. But one of them ran down the dirt road/driveway and went all the way down by the river! So I quickly grabbed some pig feed and started running after this darn pig! (Yes, as out of shape as I am I actually RAN after the pig). While I was doing the dirty work and running after the pig my husband did the easier job of fixing the fence. I finally was able to lure the last pig back in the pen! And that concluded our exciting Saturday morning!

| This one ran all the way down by the river. I ran after him and I think it was probably about 1/4 mile from where the pig pen is... so I actually ran a half mile total (round-trip) this morning. Now I'm exhausted. |
