Title: Smart Arse Pig...
Post by: ambriel on May 19, 2011, 09:18:06 pm

Woke our three boys up this morning and went off to the shed to prepare their breakfast.

Couple of minutes later I heard a noise behind me and there was Hamish, looking very pleased with himself.

Luckily I managed to man-handle him out of the shed before he had a chance to attack the feed bins but clearly, one of our three clever little piggies has worked out how to open the latch on the gate to their paddock.

Time to ratchet-up the security at the weekend....

Just looked at your web page all three look like butter wouldn't melt! perhaps Hamish was sent to keep you occupied while the others made plans  ;D ;D

Thanks folks. I caught the culprit in the act this morning: it was Hagrid.

Luckily the paddock gate only lets them into the main part of the garden - they can't get out of there - yet...

Perky our pedigree hampshire can unbolt all the pig pens and get to the feed, cought her just in time before she trashed the feed bins.  :pig::o ;D
