The Pig is GONE!!!

YEAH! The pig is GONE! KC, my awesome pig moving husband and Mark, the amazing animal mover were able to push, prod and maneuver 500lbs of sausage (and liverwurst) into the trailer. And yes, Barney was still alive upon entering the trailer. We were not sure how we would ever get him out of the barn alive or if he would come out alive... but it happened. This is another story where I think God has a really funny sense of humor or at least I can picture Him up above us laughing hysterically as we struggle. It only took KC and Mark about 20 minutes to get Barney outside. Then, they had to try and get him into the trailer. Barney wanted no part of that. But they pushed him in backwards. With his rump on the trailer, Barney found a little hole off to one side and he took it...running. He escaped, but Mark was on the move behind him. KC and I got rid of any obstacles and Mark led Barney right to the back of the truck and guess what that pig did? He jumped right into the truck... no arguments, no pushing, no cajoling... nothing - just jumped right in! I know sometimes we need to struggle... even when we are just trying to move a pig... and in those moments, we need to maintain our dignity and keep our religion. But in every situation... there is always an end - and we just have to laugh when after 2 days and many hours of fighting with a pig... he just jumps in!
