Title: One man and his pig ...
Post by: little blue on February 17, 2012, 09:08:07 pm
We have moved the three little pigs into their new house today, I took plenty of pictures but this one shows "One man and his pig" to a tee!  They are "people pigs" and moved across to the new house good as gold, Mildred even let herself out of the shed & walked back up to meet us and her sister Maud on our way down!!
Murdock was carried in a cage (remember that trick Manian?!) and barely even noticed, he was enjoying a light snack...

 "Howling mad" Murdoch, the little boar, he is growing into his role slowly but surely!

i have looked at this photo  a lot and just got to ask  the pig in the middle what is wrong with it has it had a litter recently as it looks rather thin and haunched up   or has it just come on concrete :farmer:

It looks to me that she is mid head shake in the picture making the rest of her look a bit squiffy

she doesn't normally look like that Robert, it's just how she's stood!!

In any photo I take (cos they are nearly all of animals!) there'll be one that wrecks it by moving, or turning their bum to camera, or sneezing or whatever...
