Of course they all loved to have their backs scratched but that one really made it clear what she wanted! Good thing she didn't insist on our using the same stick that she had dredged up inside the pigpen....<BR/><BR/>I quit eating pigs sometime in the 80's. I just couldn't do it any more, although if you were to ask me for my favorite meat, my answer today would still be "bacon," followed closely by "ham." It just started to feel to me like eating a dog, so I quit. This is not a comment on anyone else's food choices, it was just what I had to do.<BR/><BR/>I think pigs are much more rewarding to interact with than cattle or chickens, although I know some folks seem to love their hens so much that they can see personalities in them, so I don't discount the possibility. Have fun with your porkers!<BR/><BR/>--MarionMarion K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14898789297265654983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-466344692519829042008-03-18T07:52:00.000-04:002008-03-18T07:52:00.000-04:00Yes, and they're so cute.

They wouldn't eat the feed we bought for them you know how animals hate a change in feed) so I gave Larry the pancake syrup to lace it, and they loved it! Crazy little pigs.
