Yep. I said it. Piggy is getting some new digs. People often ask me where the pig stays when we're gone. Very few people leave their pigs out to roam the house when they're not home - this is because pigs are extremely smart animals, and no doubt he would be helping himself to all the food in the fridge before we made it home. Pigs are also sometimes hoarders - they will often drag random items from all over the house into one pile, like a "nest." It's kind of cute - until you can't find your hairdryer. We are pretty lucky - Kevin Bacon seems to know the "rules" of the house and all, and he's never "nested" (but I'm not ruling it out in the future, hence the confinement :) but still - I don't trust him to just roam the house for hours when we're gone, just in case he finds mischief. This is his current abode when he's left alone:
But now that we're coming up on his first birthday, he needs a bigger space. So, I did a little Amazon shopping.... And I am super pumped!! So here's the plan - I will spend this weekend building the indoor pig pen of Kevin Bacon's dreams, and I'll reveal it next week! So stay tuned!!
Happy project weekend, and happy Labor Day!!! :)
