I'm a Big Kid Now
Dexter was recently introduced to our North field. He has a lot of energy and is making good use of it. Dexter spends the days roaming and meeting new pigs. We were hoping he would like Jeanie. We think they are similar breeds and that he will get at least as big as her.

I'd Sleep There
I've mentioned before how we 'winterize' the sanctuary for the pigs. It includes many blankets, hay and carpet doors on the shelters. The pigs also help winterize the sanctuary.
We often find the pigs pulling blankets around to where they want them. They also cocoon themselves up so well it's hard to imagine how they can even do that! We've also seen them make nests for themselves.
Pigbody managed to make himself an awesome little nest in the Assisted Living Barn. I've caught other pigs lounging in it during the day but Pigbody owns it at night.

Warm Me Up
After all of the freezing temperatures we finally have a break! The pigs are taking full advantage of it. I went out to snag a few pictures and found that a lot of pigs were out sunbathing. It's nice to see them keeping warm and happy.
Cinderfella was found nosing in some bushes.
Hopper was sitting pretty looking for some attention.
Mojo was walking around enjoying the sun.

Boar Update!
The three boys that went in to be neutered a few weeks ago have all seemed to recover nicely!
Dexter is continuing to grow quickly and is quite the explorer! He loves to run around and get lots of attention.
Ramone is still being a sweetheart. He loves getting attention and belly rubs. He may have a urinary infection so he is on antibiotics.
Little Toby has already gone back to his forever home. It was a pleasure to watch him during his recovery. He did need to sleep indoors as he is still tiny and we had freezing temperatures.

Ice Ice Baby
The last few nights have been really cold. The temperatures have been dropping to 22. Not only does this mean cold nights for the piggies, but it also means ice and frozen pipes in the morning!
While feeding we have to go around and break the ice in all of our water bowls, pools and automatic waterers. Oddly enough, Rudy loves it! Every morning Rudy goes around carrying ice chunks. He's still cold but wants to bring the ice into bed with him. Bad idea Rudy!
