I heard the dogs going nuts outside and thought I better take a look. There they were, poking around the field. Winken, Blinken and Nod had escaped their pig field and were wandering around the farm. Ordinarily I wouldn't mind, as the boys are not vicious and do not bother the other animals. I was worried they would go over to the Sister's flower beds and start digging, as piggies love to do. I didn't realize they had bigger ideas. To my horror, they started down the driveway to the road where Izzy and I cut them off and blocked the way to the road. Pigs are not easily persuaded to anything they don't want to do unless food is involved. I was reluctant to go back up the driveway and get a bucket of feed with them so close to the road. When I shooed them, they shot off in different directions. What to do????

Pigs are so hard to round up..It takes more than one person to get them to go back in their pens.. When I lived in Ohio there was a farmer near us that all he had to do when his pigs were out was get a bucket of grain take it to where they were and let one get a whiff and they would follow him (all of them) back to where they needed to be. I thought this was amazing.
