When the husband comes home with a "Storey's Guide to _______" (fill in the blank with the farm animal of your choice), I know that that animal is coming soon. The last book was about pigs. Now, I'm all about bacon. Who doesn't like bacon? Bacon's good! But these little guys are too cute to eat. Let's hope they ugly up as they get bigger otherwise they'll have to spend a long time in the freezer until I forget which package is which pig. Rule No. One: We never eat a pig we know personally.
Makenna spent all day with the pigs yesterday teaching them where to find water and food. I went out to bring her in at bedtime and she was snuggled up with them in the straw and an old army blanket. We had a day-long debate over naming the pigs. I just think Petunia is a funny name for a pig. But after seeing her be so fond of them already we decided to go a different direction. One is named "Second Breakfast" and the other "Elevenses."Rule No. Two: Don't name the animals.
What I learned about pigs. By AMK
Pigs are noisy eaters. Pigs slurp loudly when they drink. Pigs snore. Pigs like to nose around in the mud.
Rule No. Three: Don't model your manners after a pig.
