The Case of The Missing Pigs - Part 2

The story ends at Part 2.  The pigs have been found!  They were found yesterday, and I apologize for not quickly updating the blog.  But after 2 days of probably 5 hours of sleep, I was down for the count last night.

The Boss called me at 6AM, saying he had a voicemail about the pigs.  I updated him on the situation, and we decided at 7:30 when the sun came up we'd start a search party.  Who knew where these pigs had gone!?  I also made a call into the local police department.  Talk about an awkward message, though I'm sure one they had heard before.  So before the sun came up Lakes, Peru, and I packed up 90 chickens that we had to take to be turned into soup.  I told Peru what had happened and he was in shock.  He started walking to go look for them and then I hear a whistle.  "They are here!"  I ran over, and sure enough there they were.  Only 50 feet from their pen, sleeping in a hog pile on Guya, our retired sow who just hangs out and sleeps all day.  Every morning she'll make the round to see the other pigs, but they she'll go back to her little area of trees and sleep.  

Stupid pigs!  But I know they had wandered pretty far, because the person who was working on the residential shift at one of the houses (who reported the pigs were out) said they were all the way down the road almost the main street!  So at least I wasn't losing my mind.

Now all the pigs are happy and safe in their home.  The Hurricane has come and gone but with pretty devastating results.  Today I just spent a half hour at the gas station filling my tank because we may run out of gas.  And a half hour was on the shorter end of time - some people are waiting 45 minutes or more, and lines in NYC are hours long.  

Please keep everyone in your thoughts, meditations, prayers, or however you reach out to people.
