So I had alluded to some piggy news, mentioning a vet trip, to which I got a few inquiries. Thinking I was already having trouble so soon after the death of Mr. Piggles, I was kinda keeping it tight lipped till we knew what was up for sure.
So here is the update.
As ya'll know, my sons high dollar show pig died. One of about 34 in the area now. We were given a replacement by the Evil Rabbit Overlord Eddie. The easiest way to express the quality level is, the dead pig was... a Dodge with a Hemi. The replacement pig is, well, a Ford Festiva. We all appreciate Eddie giving us the pig, but yeah Blake was bummed. Bummed his pig died, and bummed that he couldn't find an as good a replacement.
Some friends of ours had some money troubles and waited till the absolute last minute to get pigs. So they ended up with 3 instead of 2. The breeder gave them one because he was trying to get the word out about his business, and wanted to get more of his stock in the show. So they gave the pig to my son. Whereas the original pig was a Hemi, the replacement is a Festiva, this one is a Ford Powerstroke. Not quite the Original, but pretty danged good.. I would say one of the top 8 in the county, with some of the other 8 being the other 2 my friend brought back, and the Hamp we already had.
The vet trip was to have him castrated as it is illegal to show boars. So what happened to the Ford Festiva? He is now in the third pen. The little boy next door, is the same age as my Christian, even in the same class... they are both 9. He helps with my rabbits and shows them as well. His mom is having her 6th child next month. (get this.. do this math.. Dakota is 9, is mom is 23, her 6th child is due in Feb.) He has been itchin to show a pig, but with that many kids, a pig ain't a priority, so Eddie OKed us to give it to him. The boy's uncle who lives adjacent to us is pitching in the feed. Do I think the pig will make auction? Under normal circumstances, no. But with every other pig in the county dropping dead, who knows! He may shock us all!
Here are a few pics of the piggies.
Blake's pig, Master Chief & his castrated bottom...(the blue stuff is antibiotic)
I think all the bum pics have embarrassed Master Chief....
Christian's pig, Miss Piggles...
*Please.. no Paparazzi....*
And Dakota next door's piggy, formerly known as Ford Festiva, now named Miss Cherry Bomb
