How cute and bad! He looks like he's ready to throw hair on three different people as you take the picture.

He reminds so much of Snowflake -- despite her dark eyes.

Is Snowflake an evil bloodsucking pig, too?

She does tend to chew on me. I bear a red pinch mark on my arm from her last frantic "get me outta here". Does that count?

Maybe a vampire in training. Even Jules has been kind enough not to go for the jugular, although kid fingers are fair game (you'd think they'd learn...)

they'll all cram into a pigloo until they realize they're ALL in the pigloo

isn't that the truth? even funnier
when there isn't an inch of spare
space in the pigloo after they cram
in. hehehe...so funny.

It's hysterical when they realize where they are and the pigloo starts jumping in their frenzy to get out - all at once.

Neal has started to behave himself. We are quickly coming up on his 1 yr anniversary with us. Jules still wheeks if Neal even looks at him cross-eyed, but Steve laid the smack down and Neal gave up.

Neal doesn't like people much (something Elmyra can't understand) but he's a good pig. All 3 lbs 4 oz of him. I miss his popcorning, though.

My husband continues to try to bond with them and spoil them. Steve doesn't care as long as someone brings food.

Elmyra was the one who finally saw Neal chirping (the rest of us had only heard it) and she was beyond thrilled.

It's all going according to my nefarious plan...MWAHAHAH!

Sad Update

Sadly, today my precious Stephen van Gogh crossed the bridge. He was everyone's favorite pig. My "pig ambassador". I remember that crisp November day when I picked him up, to be friends with Max. Now they can hang out together again.

Steve was nearly 7 years old, by my best guess. He lived a long life. He was addicted to critter treats he probably shouldn't have gotten. I think this was the first morning he didn't greet me at the door to the cage, begging for something special. He and Jules were my bookends. I wish I'd gotten a picture of them standing together, begging.

He was a very special pig. He will be very very missed.

Ravenshade, I'm so sorry. I have loved reading stories of your trio. It sounds like he had a good long life with you. Take care.

Pictures of the Pigs

Mr. RS says he's being strong for me, but he's sad, too. Steve was his favorite.

Mr. also said that if the lilacs don't survive the deer this winter, we'll plant more.

I knew I married him for a reason. He's a good man, and a good friend.

Elmyra made a cross to mark the grave and stood with me while Mr. filled it in. She's a good kid, too.

Beautiful Steve. I finally figured out what your avatar is.
