Success!

 We had a nice, uneventful drive 5 hours to
just south of Kansas City, MO.
We left at 9:00 and got there just moments
before our 2:00 appointment.

She had the piglets all gathered up in a crate,
all we had to do was transfer them to our crate
in the back of our truck and pay her.
We were gone in about 15 minutes.


They are awfully cute!


And pretty shy.

They all have adorably curly little tails.

Another uneventful drive back.
We stopped at a Taco Bell just off the highway
and got some fuel for us and the truck.
We had to park by the front door since it was
the only place where we could keep them in the shade.
And EVERYBODY who came in wanted to 
stop and take their picture.


They were VERY tired after all the excitement.


They were happy to take a little snooze.
But then we had to drive for another 2.5 hours.
We stopped at Tractor Supply in Hays to get them
a feed tray and some shavings for their barn.
And they took another little nap.

Then it was the home stretch!


They seemed VERY happy to get out of their crate.
Have a bite to eat and a drink of water.


And as soon as we left them alone,
they were konked out.

Kyle installed a motion sensor, solar powered light
on the barn, so they should be happy tonight.
The coyotes don't like the light.
And tomorrow we will probably move Luna
out there to protect them.
But for now, we are pretty sure they are secure.

They sure are cute!
And skittish.
Kyle will win them over though.
He said I can't name them.
But I probably will.
They are adorable as little piglets.
They aren't nearly as cute once they are 600 pounds.
I won't have any trouble sending them
to freezer camp when the time comes.

But for now, I'm going to enjoy them!
