Here we are getting ready for the pigs to come. We are building this hut for them to get out of the weather when they want. In the foreground you may observe my helpers. They were responsible for "test driving this rocketship to the moon with Shazza the cat" or at tleast that is what they told me. Posted by Picasa

AAAAWWWWW there's our cute and cuddly piglets. The closest one belongs to Kayla and Jenna and is named "Love", the dark red one facing the camera was claimed by Kristen and is named "Big Red", and the last one was claimed by Ian and is named "Spider Girl". The are very adorable, and love to be scratched and fed hard boiled eggs. We are actually training them to come to the sound of stones rattling in a can.... just in case they get out, we can use it to get them back in. I read that pigs are as smart as dogs, and can be trained just as easily. Well, the first time I tried the egg trick, I rattled and fed. A couple hours later, Kristen rattled the can and the pigs came running. They have done this every time since. I never trained a dog that quickly! Posted by Picasa


Three little oigs heading off to a hard day of eating and laying around. Don't they look like a gang? Posted by Picasa
