It is time to start thinking about the fair. On Thursday Gunner and I went and picked up his piggy. We did not get it from the same person this year, we wnated to make sure we got one born early enough that it would not have a problem making weight (like last year). We had been out a couple times and looked at the piggies after they were born and Gunner had it narrowed down to about 3. We loaded up the dog kennel in the back of the Expedition and off we went. After watching them for about 15 minutes, he finally made a decision, here is our newest addition (no name yet)
We loaded him up in the dog kennel and headed to the land lab. Well, if you don't know, pigs stink and so we had to roll down all the windows. About 1/2 there, OH MY GOSH! there was a terrible stench, the damn thing had pooped (yes, luckily it was in the kennel.) He rode surprisingly well and did not squeal really at all on the ride. But boy when we go to the land lab and Gunner was getting him out, he squealed (There is some truth to the saying "Squealed like a stuck pig!" man are they loud). Got him in the land lab, he was making friends,
Gunner weighed him (45 lbs) and put him in a pen. Now we just have to watch him grow and get fat and then hopefully make weight at fair so he can be auctioned.
P.A. Gunner has his staples removed from his leg and it is healing nicely, he will have a scar, but it will just go along with the other one's he already has :D
