SO is over 200lbs and the pig blanket was slightly warped. Thank goodness Osborne Industries is quick when you order. I'll be needing a new one before the end of October.

How old are those warming pads? You wouldnt expect them to crack like that, are they dried out/brittle?

Probably. I usually take them up in the spring, clean them and store them until needed again, but this year I left these two in the Aldabran shed. My fault. Plus the fact that they are probably about 5 years old and not supple anymore.
