Love to Craft

It was the final journey for two of our pigs today.  Husband, children 3 and 4 were trying to load them into the trailer.  Pallets were used as side gates to help guide them inside, well, that and some apples.  The pigs were tempted and started to walk up the ramp.  Child 3 was instructed that once they were through the gate it needed to be closed.  True to form he closed the gate immediately, just brushing the rear end of one of the pigs.  She was spooked and looked for a way back into the field. On finding the gate tight shut she looked for the easiest getaway.  This happened to be child 4, the pig knocked her flat on her back with the pallet on top of her and ran straight over the top, it stopped, sniffed at her and ran off into the long grass! She was caught thank goodness, and they still made it to the abattoir on time. With mixed feelngs the final two also make their last journey next Monday.
