The piggy is slowly getting gaining weight again.....a new furnace system (heat pump, furnace, and central air) ended costing us $7,200...and naturally the old system craped out right before Christmas (coldest time of the year here), so poor piggy took "a hit". We couldn't take the chance of Lacie getting the chihuahua-sniffles, so we ponied up and put in a whole new system. In case anyone is wondering, the new system is amazing with how energy efficient ($$) it is, so I'm glad we had poor piggy to mug!
He's feeling better now though and should be well enough for the convention!
