I didn't want to tell this story until it had a full happy ending, so here we go.
Our pipes here in Houston just can't handle any kind of freezing, so when it froze last week they turned off the water to the pig barn. (The kids have to take water out to their animals, where they normally have a little spout in their pen that they can drink from anytime they want.)
When they turned the water back on at 8:00 am on Wednesday, one of the pipes burst. And nobody went back out to the pig barn until after school when the kids showed up to start feeding their pigs.
By the time Kyle arrived after dive practice (which gets out at 5:00) this is what he was dealing with.
They got all the pigs in the show barn and made temporary pens for them until they could get the pig barn cleaned up. And when I say "they", I mean the kids. Kyle had to completely clean out and sanitize Willie's pen.
Willie was able to move back home on Saturday, which he was very happy about.
And here he is enjoying an applesauce under his heat lamp.
All snug as a bug in a rug.
