Preparing for the princess' pedicure

Wynonna's annual pedicure and teeth cleaning is scheduled for this Friday. Oh joy. 

For those of you who may not have been around for last year's day of beauty, you can believe me when I say 

that transporting her to the vet is no simple task, or you could watch the video and see for yourself.

At any rate, over the weekend, I had to rearrange Wynonna's room in order to more easily maneuver the crate, 

the furniture dolly, and all other equipment needed to ensure her safe transport into the truck and onward to the vet clinic. 

Last spring, I was forced to move the pig palace when a family of five moved in behind it. The relocation 

solved that problem but caused another – there isn't enough room in front of the door to fit the 36" crate into which 

Wynonna must be pushed. So I moved the palace back to where it started and used the opportunity to re-bed it with fresh straw.

Wynonna took a nap in the sun while I worked.

Note to self and Ethel: it may be time to do another art installation.

The palace was relocated and refreshed without incident. 

I assumed Wynonna would rearrange the straw to her liking once she woke up and returned to her room.

I returned a few hours later and saw that Wynonna had not only rearranged the straw and her sleeping bag,

she had barricaded herself inside. Such a clever pig. But would she emerge for her lunchtime snack?

Let's find out...
