I wouldnt be without him.  Even though when he finally came back indoors he unhooked the door off its hinges just to be irritating. 

Mab pigs are terrific, dont let me put you off, best thing I ever did having Hilary (and Digby)

The video would be good if I could find it.  The camera is always in the wrong place when I need it.  ;D

Digby sound just like our BG (Big Gerry) & Delia who do what they want when they want not when i want or need and normally with a mouthful of pig abuse for good measure. Wish i could translate what they say but i'm sure it sometimes ends in off!  ;D
Would loved to have seen the fox pop his head in the hen house and find Digby, pity he decided he wanted his own bed.

I think pigs are just IT.  Such fantastic personalities.  Any pictures of BG and Delia (wonderful names) ?

;D  One of our litttl'uns is known as "Grump" - she's always chuntering in the most grumbley way you can imagine! And her black spots over her face look quite like a frown too!  her mum always has a cheerful grunt....

They really do have great personalities.  Although that does make it harder to send them off at the end.   :'(

It was at Pateley Bridge near Harrogate for the Young Farmers extravaganza in June/July, Big D was an exhibit for North Yorkshire Smallholders and she was also a "guess the weight of her" competition (hence us knowing what she weighs! 317kg!! :o) to raise funds.
She was a bugger to load at the end as she'd been spoiled all day with digestive biscuits & ice-cream, we had to get a tub of fruit salad from a neaby catering truck (god knows what DEFRA would have made of that one!!)to get her back up the ramp to go home and the help of 5 strapping young farmers!!! ;D

This morning she's as grumpy as hell as its raining at last, she refused to come out of her house and had to have her breakfast in bed after booting poor Gerry out into the rain poor lad. After she'd eaten up she fling her trug out the door, stuck her back end out to pee and then went back to bed and is now snoring her head off!!  ::)

Let me know where to send her................. ;)
