Yesterday was blazing hot. I checked on the pigs a few times and noticed they were intentionally splashing water out of their waterer and laying in it. I suggested to Dan that we dig a hole and fill it with water for them to splash around in. Last night he did just that and they seemed to enjoy themselves.
Today the swimming hole was dry so I filled it up with water again. The piglets came running when they saw what I was doing. I lightened up the stream from the hose so it was more of a mist and the piggies loved it! Picture kids running through a sprinkler in the summer. All 5 pigs ran through the mist and once they were all to the other side, they ran back though again. Over and over and over. It was pretty darn cute! Then they decided to check out the recently filled swimming hole and got themselves covered in mud! The Chester White pigs, which started out mostly white, were two-toned white and brown by the end. But they're happy and enjoyed their day and that's what matters.
