Shepherdgirl, Love to hear your pig stories. She sounds like such a character. Maybe you should start a chat about pig stories since I'm sure others have had fun raising pigs also. I'm happy to hear yours is a pet. Our first pigs weren't and the day they left us, even after all the days I wanted to harm them, I was heart broken. Since that day everything at our house has been a pet. I guess I'm not much of a farmgirl when it comes to eating my animals. They are all my little buddies. I just can't do it. No judgement against all the farmgirls who can. They're just tougher than me. I guess I'm just too tender hearted and would rather eat vegetables. Are bats still visiting your farm and are they healthy? Hope all is well.

The bats are fine Kristin-- they appreciate your asking (lol!). I hear them making their strange clicking/chattering noises every single time I walk into the barn. No more dead ones since that incident a few weeks ago. I'm glad. I do look for them all the time now. And always hope I don't SEE any! So far so good!
As for my pig-- Opal-- she IS quite the character. (AND quite the pain my butt!!) She would sooo LOVE to have her own page here on the chatsite!!! If I knew how to post pics I'd certainly give everyone who logged on an eyefull!! She's getting her Winter "coat" now-- long white bristley hair. Before I got her, I did not even know that pigs HAD hair! I thought they were like those hairless cats!!! (LOL) Perhaps I WILL start an "Opal" topic. Thanks for passing on the idea. ~~~ Hugs ~~~ Tracy

Tracy Lets get that Opal chat going. What a great name for a farmgirl's pet pig. barnagainkristin
