Pigs - Speechless Sunday

Growing up with pigs was amazing to watch them grow and I was fascinated to watch the piglets born and the mothers protection. Even though I was not involved with showing pigs, I have had some experience with them.  Good luck with your 3.  You are in for an adventure.

Sondra,

Love that no kid was looking at their electronic gadget...Looks like fun.  A

Hi Sondra, Do you plan to raise pigs or keep them as pets? The only pigs around here are on pig farms.

Sondra, I can just see the guys who gave us the film, "Best in Show", doing a remake but with pigs instead of dogs as the stars!  Pigs are great creatures.  I've heard they smarter than Labradoodles.

Sondra-How wonderful that you now have added 3 little pigs to your ranch. We had pigs when I was growing up. We even named our first two. Rusty and Dusty. They were more like pets. They are clean animals. They loved fresh hay and wouldn't go to the bathroom where they slept. They used to make tunnels in the fresh hay and we used to sit in their bed with them. We also rode them. Enjoy your new additions.

Cute post and pigs, and I too love the lack of electronic distraction you observed - there's a lesson here, Sondra. 

Hi Sondra. Just stopping by to wish you a Blessed Weekend on this Memorial Day. Learned something new about pigs in your post today.

Hello Sondra ...

Very interesting post and have a wonderful Memorial Day!

Hi Sondra - I spent a fair amout of time in the company of pigs - real ones, too. They're playful and very smart and I really enjoyed them. Your three are going to be lots of fun, until they're bacon.

No kids on cell phones, imagine that.

Hi, Sondra...what are you going to do with the pigs? Curious minds would like to know. 

I like that the kids at the swine event are taking it seriously. It bums me out to see how kids today are glued to their phones. 

How about those super tini pigs that are kept as inhome pets and recently all over internet? 

Sondra~this is such a homage to country living! Makes kids grow up in a completely different way. 

I could have sworn that I had videos posted of the little pigs and new filly at my girlfriend's farm, but somehow I never got it out of draft. Had to bookmark this! 

I was raised in the city, farms and farm animals were no where near me. I bet living on a farm would be interesting and not a dull moment!

Sondra, some pigs.  What fun shots!  The kids showing their pigs are not unlike the folks at the Westminster Dog Show, although somehow I'm guessing the dogs are easier to keep in line.
