There is something about a pig...pix

It seems like it only takes one to teach the others how to enjoy the pool. My old gal, Quimby, and Louie would never go into the pool. Quimby passed on and Louie still won't venture in. He will stick his nose in for a drink. But the one young male taught the other younger ones how to get in and enjoy it. Now they sit in it and scratch their butts on the bottom.

They do feel miserable when it's hot. I have quite a few shady areas here and I have two pools set up and one mini pool for them in the shade. Louie gets a bucket of water tossed on him several times a day.
A fan sounds like a great idea! Oh, and watermelon! Or frozen cucumbers, squash, ect. Someone gave me a big freezer bag full of frozen eldeberries. The pigs munched on that and all got purple noses...lol.

Hammie JUMPED in OUR swimming pool once... i just about died..
We had had him in the pool on a float.. trying to get him used to it with us... and feeding him treats.... but he was being a big baby the whole time

... so i let him out of the pool.
Well... dont ya know it... we still had the baggie of treats in the pool on the raft.... well.. He wasnt having THAT... he jumped right back in the pool and prompty started to sink to the bottom!...I screamed and tried to get to him, my heart sunk..i though he was dead for sure..... but by the time i got to him he was up and doggie paddling towards the raft with the food...

We all just about died! I cant get him to do it again though...
