All -
Thank you so much for listening to my sad story about Loki's drowning ...and for your kind words and encouragement ... I am still feeling very sad and guilty about it all, but am taking the good advice offered by several on-line friends, and channelling this negative energy into learning and growing - so I have been composing a mental list of potential "safety violations" (as my 5-year old calls them!) around the farm and addressing them.
Most are little things I've put off for a while - and prob inconsequential - but my mind will rest easier when they're fixed. I have a bunch of lumber arriving tomorrow to reinforce the bottom of the wire fence separating Pinky & the Boys' pen from the goat field, and am looking for a better gate solution for the gate that Loki squeezed under (in the meantime, no pigs are in the front yard unattended) ... I am thinking that a "stop" board that the gate closes to is the only real solution - tho it makes it hard to get machinery into the pen (not that I do that much!). Maybe I can make it removable ...
The Water tub in question has been replaced with a pail for now ... will find a bigger (but safer) solution shortly.
I really appreciate the heart-felt condolences and support that I have received - you are all a wonderful bunch of people, and I am so glad to have found you ...
Hugs to all ... and to your piggers!
