Yup, we let the vet do ours. No sence in taking a chance of infection, or killing the piggie! Of course, I guess no matter who does it, there is a chance of infection. I can watch, but I cant do it. Poor little guy squeals so loud!!

Well he is as snug as a bug in a rug! He loves his little house (an upside down whelping box) it is full of shavings and hay. He sleeps like an infant, off and on ALL day.

That kid has a nose on him too. All I have to do is open the back door while I'm eating say, a banana or a hard boiled egg and he trots right out of his box.

Nobody claimed him yet. :D

If I get to keep him, I am going to use him to help me add onto my already existing garden. He makes a great "root-o-tiller" as OFG says. :)

Cool!

I was hoping no one would claim him. How long do you have to wait before you can she he's yours?

Holly cow, I mean pig. I left for the weekend and you all had a party without me. That is one tasty looking pig.

I must admit I have not laughed so hard in quite a while. Thank you all!!

Let's see if I needed something to fall from the sky it might be..... A money tree????

Oh and Free... Me Me !!! I wish I Lived closer I would take that extra piggy of yours.

More pics BBH, when you have time of course.

Well, Gina, they do have airplanes, since your only obligation would be to help on processing day....but I wonder what the extra baggage fee would be for all that pork? Could you get it all in your carry-ons? :D

I am pretty sure my aunt's first registered longhorn heifer came by South West airlines. No kidding! My uncle bought her on a business trip to Colorado and shipped her home in a dog crate. :lol:

I have clients who fly their horses, and those who have imported horses had them flown. Starts in the mid-4 figures, though...

Well, Gina, you could bone all your pork, then it would make it through the xray machines. Not so sure about it getting past the drug and bomb dogs, though......
