{Almost} Wordless Wednesday – Pig Pen Edition
What a headache- I mean adventure- our pig causes…
After over 2 months of happily living in her pen (and playing in the yard with us occasionally) Clover decided the grass is greener outside her pen. The first several times, after reinforcing her escape route she remained happily in her pen for weeks. But last month, she began escaping daily. We’d look outside to see her happily crunching pecans in the backyard.
Nearly a month and 200 feet of chicken wire, 300+ zip ties, 20 cinderblocks (plus every discarded heavy thing we could find and drag) later, our Houdini pig hasn’t escaped in 5 days. Hallelujah. 
But, the last 5 days have been freezing. And our piggy loves her warm, hay-filled shed on the coldest of days. 
I guess true success won’t be declared until a warm spell. 
Miriam reminds me that pigs are the 3rd smartest animal… a fact that isn’t working in our favor!
It seems Clover is very smart and knows exactly what she wants! I can’t wait to see what happens when the weather gets warmer!
What a cool thing to grow up with. I know the kids will appreciate it when they are older. It keeps them outside and active.
These photos are so cute! It’s awesome to hear that you found a way to keep Clover contained too!
What beautiful pics, your children will have such great memories . So peaceful !
Oh my gosh your piggy is adorable! I would love to have a pet pig! I find it adorable that she tried to get out but I’m glad her pen is working for her now!
So fun! My BFF really wants to own pigs once they buy a house. I am going to show this post to her. She adores pigs! lol
She might change her mind after reading this then! We love our piggy, but the fencing issues have been daunting!
