This morning around eleven, Gwen (our border collie) started to bark wildly. Matthias looked out and yelled, "Pigs out!"
Trouble in the barnyard!
Let's try some feed.
Good luck Lydia!
Here little piggies...
If they would just go back under the chicken barn like last Sunday.
Conveniently the boards are still there to trap them!
I guess we just have to wait until they decide to oblige.
Patience is a virtue!

OK, let's try feed again..
No, not for you chicken!
That's the ticket Laurence. Let's keep those chicken out of the way.
Oh, dear, don't fall in the feed barrel!
Here you go. Good job!
Got them!!!
There is no pictures of the actual catching as I was busy getting my hands on one of those little piggies.
We caught them after they finally decided to crawl under the chicken house.
It is worth noticing that Raphael has the littlest one, and look at Felix's strained face. Really Felix yours isn't that big!
Three little piggies went home...loudly squealing!
Dominique, what are you doing with that shovel? And Matthias would you please hurry and open the gate! The sound is quite deafening!
Raphael is trying.... again... to make the gate piglet proof. Maybe this time it will keep them behind the bars for good.
"Them pigs got feelings..."
"Boys, them pigs are like family to me. They've got feelings just exactly like you and me got... just exactly like you and me." From the movie Rigoletto
The little boys couldn't resist quoting from the movie Rigoletto. At Lydia's request we borrowed the movie from Netflix. Watching it last night was a nice trip down memory lane.
