You guys are funny and totally unsympathetic. I have a pocket full of pig poo and all you guys can do is side with the pigs. They aren’t as cute as you may think. And pig poo is very stinky. Too bad I can’t blog it.
Time to go out and see if Sweety has had her piglets yet. I was a bad pig mom and slept soundly all night long in my own bed last night and never once went out to check her. Thought I’d let her do this on her own. Besides, I needed the sleep.

If it’s any comfort, Chanticleer likes to sit on my shoulder and decorate the back of whatever I happen to be wearing. I’m happy he’s not an aggressive rooster, but he could have a little bit of class.
@MlleRobillard - I do not think that class is whithin the realm of the animal world. Pigs especially. I think that it is funny that you named your rooster Chanticleer. Last year I bought Mary-Kate several sets of dessert dishes with different roosters on them and the pattern is called none other than Chanticleer.
Honestly, I envy you. If I had a pig poo in my pocket everyday for the rest of my life, but still got to run a farm half as beautiful as yours, I’d leap at the chance. My jest is made entirely out of love and jealousy (a healthy jealousy).
I send huge hugs! Let us know about the piggies!
@JMHardens060703 - Actually I only complain to try and get PG OBrien’s goat. However he is goatless. I don’t mind piglet poo in my pocket. I would, however mind big pig poo in my pocket. I truly enjoy the pigs.
On other matters. You girl are welcome to come to this farm anytime that you like. There is not much to run anymore though. Since the fire we do very little. We only made 44 round bales of hay and other farmers are using most of our land because we have no money and my husband works off farm to try and make ends meet. The fire wiped us out and things are only getting worse. But you are still welcome to come and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine and the pigs and heifers and the freedom and the beauty. They are all free still, thanks be to God.
You sound a lot like my mom except she’s a mother of 10.
I’m honestly quiet glad you can’t blog the smell of pig poo.
@Dare2BDiferentt - Thanks for the compliment. I did my best to be a mother of ten, God had other things in mind. I do have 40 foster children out there somewherer and countless babysitting children if you want to count them, I certainly do. I also count all the kids that have been in my classes over the years. I think that’s “mom” enough for anyone.
Goatless. No navy here. None. Bally unflappable, that’s me, wot wot.
@P_Obrien - A bit stuffed shirt? Eight more piglets today, just in time for the birthday party. I was actually able to surprise Matthew.
