19

19 degrees is what the temperature has been dropping to lately. That may not be a big deal to most people but for those of us that are not used to it, or to pigs who aren't used to it, it's a big deal!


We have had to delay our start time for feeding and have added ice breaking into the feeding routine. The ice in the pools and bowls froze over 3 inches thick today. Not so fun for our piggies that like to drink while they eat.


We also had around 20 pipes break today :( They were all secured but will need to be repaired.


We've really been on our A game trying to make sure everyone has enough blankets and hay. A lot of the pigs choose to snuggle during these cold nights. We are also thinking of all the other sanctuaries and houses where the weather is far worse.
