mudpig

We have had so much rain that the piglets' enclosures are an absolute mud bath. It is so awful that we have taken pity on them and probably made a big mistake by letting them have access to the big field that they are in. They are so happy to be running around on grass, and have of course already started turning great clods of earth over. Hopefully their enclosure will have dried out before they have churned the whole field up.

Graham has been off work today so he has fed them but it will be with trepidation that I go in with them to give them their food on Monday. They are really quite bitey at the moment and being faced with seventeen of them all wanting their food (I usually tip it into their troughs from outside their fence) should be rather interesting.
Well that little pig is certainly living up to it's name. Good luck with the feeding. Rather you than me.

Oh jan be careful, don't want to scare you but there was that awful story about a farmer who went in to feed his pigs and all that was found later that morning was his false teeth! Shouldn't have told you that should I. I'll get my coat ............ Love this BTW made me chuckle. FAV
January 3rd, 2014  
@lucypics don't worry Lucy, I have heard that story before and could well believe it. Thanks BTW
January 3rd, 2014  
@jantan seriously be careful! Is there such a thing as an electric stick? A sort of light saber to ward off unwanted nips

January 3rd, 2014  
Oh dear @lucypics poor Jan that's enough to frighten her to death...she will have no false teeth to leave either I'm sure so will be nothing left!!!!
You can't run very fast in that mud either......I think you will need a decoy banging a drum!! That face is rather adorable though!! Pigs are good but they don't half root!
January 3rd, 2014  
He's so cute! Thanks for making me smile - faved!
January 3rd, 2014  
@happypat are you offering to come and be the decoy for me Pat?
January 3rd, 2014  
All I can say is good luck
January 3rd, 2014  
totally an adorable shot!
January 3rd, 2014  
@jantan What's it worth? No seriously I would come & distract them if I lived nearer!!
January 3rd, 2014  
Oh my, Pigpen! I look outside and find it hard to believe that there is this much mud somewhere when all I see is white. Just watch your shins come Monday with those hungry pigs :)
January 4th, 2014  
I LOVE this...and somehow it reminds me of my westie Roxie...we call her PigPen after the Charlie Brown character as she is a dirt magnet! fav
January 4th, 2014

Happy as a pig in, er, mud. I'm afraid they'll probably stay muddy for a bit longer given the current weather forecast.
January 4th, 2014

I daren't let my hubby see this shot - he is so keen to have pigs on our smallholding and I'm holding out (for fear of our sheep paddock turning into a mudbath). However, this is pretty adorable :-)

There must be something in the air - you currently have bitey pigs and I currently have a bitey baby! Can't believe I was excited about teeth.

Just seeing this... Instant Fav! Congrats on TT! Well deserved!
January 11th, 2014  
Loved this -- glad to see it on TT!
January 11th, 2014  
What's not to like about this. I love it and wish I had an old farmhouse kitchen to hang it in. One of my fave 365 shots ever, even if it did sneak above me in the TT! I think it would make a great B&W too.
January 11th, 2014  
Thanks Sean @seanoneill I am flattered! I will give b&w a go as I have just downloaded a free trial version of Nik Silver Efex
January 11th, 2014  
@jantan SFX pro is my weapon of choice, you'll love it Jan.
January 11th, 2014  
This is an amazing shot Jan. Congratulations.
