But the whole point of me lurking is so that one deep dark night I can sneak over there and "liberate" a pork chop in need of an alternative lifestyle. Alternative meaning without sheep to bug it. Yeah, that's it. And by the time I do it you'll have forgotten all about me because I'll have faded back into the Land of Lurkdom. So all the blame will fall on Beekissed, and everyone lives happily ever after, except the afor mentioned pork chop.big brown horse said:SOME PIG
No!! Please dont!! Stay and play!Jamsoundsgood said:I've been enjoying this thread a great deal. Laughing a lot. Very jealous. And then it hit me. You aren't all that far from Olympia. Pigs are my absolute favorite animals we've ever raised (excepting my kids, usually). The nights are still quite long and dark here.
Or maybe I should just go back to lurking.
I hear there is a wonderful pub in Olympia that serves the best brew and onion rings!
I'm out of pork chops. When do the spring pigs come in again?

ME??? 
Why, sholey nobody would think that little ol' BEE would have a hand in such a dastardly deed! 
Jam...for shame! 
We just want to give Benson a loving home(I LOVE bacon!).....and a new name(Bacon or Pork Loin) ....and a very "cool" place to live(Freezer Camp)...... during his formative years. Just a coupla do-gooders over here!

BBH, we are just tickled that the universe chose to bless you with a stray pig....and that you arose to the challenge and are really going to do this! So fun!
You will be amazed at just how fast these things grow! You, too, will be imagining slabs of bacon when you look at him.....
Gonna grow him any special crop veggies this spring? Mangels? Turnips?

Of course I have the advantage of geography. And my dogs are really big and scarry. Once he's in the barn he's in until I say otherwise. Just sayin'.

I can tell you from experience...Ohhhch! Pigs DO bite!! I had 2, I think it was 2 summers ago, both females. And BOY oh BOY were they mean!! They had these little creepy crawlie bugs on them, which I found out was lice. 
So, I get the spray, get on my boots...and a long piece of 2x4...and head in the pen. Grandpa always said.. " NEVER go in a hog pen without the proper tools, a 2x4." So, I head in there, and the largest female comes a runnin. For a split second I was thinking.. " Awww, she wants me to scratch her back, how cute " Then...to my horror...I realize...she was after me!!!! 
That sow grabbed onto my knee, with all she had!! I swear...I could hear grandpa yellin..." Tenderize that sow with yer 2x4" So, I started swinging....SMACK, on her back...she still had me!! SMACK...SMACK, on the head...she was holding on till sundown, or thunder...or whatever! I started swinging that 2x4 like a Louisville slugger....wham, wham, wham!! FINALLY, she let out a squeal, and ran to the other side of the pen. I looked down...no blood...I was already in the pen, and was determend to get the job done. So, her in the corner...I have one eye on her, and one eye on the other one...slowly I crept...step by step...no waite..thats another story. I figured I would get the bigger one done first...so I headed her way...she lowered her head...I raised my 2x4...she stopped...and I sprayed. Whew! One down, one to go. The smaller one was cowering in the hog hut. Cool, this will be easy...HA! I peered inside....and softly talked to her, trying to convince her that it was OK, and I was not there to hurt her. Yeah...she understood that! HA! She BOLTED out, almost knocking me down. Ohhhh, no you dont...I say. So after about 6 times around the pen, I finally get her sprayed. Whew! Next pigs that get lice...they can have em! My knee was bruised..and sore for a few days. I really thought she was going to tear my knee cap off. They DO bite...not all of them, but these 2 females..wow, mean as a snake they were...but Ohhhhhhhh, so tasty!!
