MY! MY! What a week!! Our farm has been thrown into utter confusion! Last time I wrote, we were waiting on three sows to arrive. Benny and the boys left at 7:00 a.m. last Tuesday morning, and got home about midnight. They drove all day long, and were tuckered out when they got in. Let me give you an update for the last few days...
* Got the "Girls" adjusted to their new home
* I lost the diamond in my wedding ring (no clue when or where)
* Had sleepover at our house with 8 kiddos* Came home and Henny Penny was on our sidewalk with a broken neck
* Had to give Bounce (our boxer) away; she was the reason for the broken neck above
* Popped firecrackers with Grandma & Papa
* Took Champ (poodle) to Chris (vet), and his kneecap pops in and out of place; common for small purebred dogs
* Benny refused to talk to George, and now they're giving him the silent treatment, go figure!
* Got eyeliner tatooed
* All three kids got their brown belts in karate
* AND GAVE THE GIRLS THEIR FIRST BATH!
The pigs we got are called "Red Waddles." There aren't many in the U.S., so they're somewhat rare. Benny's pig is named "Porkchop." She's the smallest of the three. Xavier's pig is named "Gabby." She's the talker of the bunch. She yells and squeals, but strangest of all, she squeaks. Sounds like a squeaky toy when she's happy. Last but not least, Noah's pig is "Sowly." (Pun intended!) All seem healthy and happy. Sowly is the fattest, Gabby is the loudest, and Porkchop seems like the leader. The others follow her.
I think Benny's in love. He called the other morning, and first thing asked how his pig did in the storm we had the night before. The kids and I were still in bed when he called, so I wasn't completely awake. I ask Benny each day what I can do to make his day better. He wanted me to wake one of the kids up to check on his pig. What's up with that?!?!?! He's found a new love, and truly, I'm not worried. She looks, smells, and screams like a pig. This crush better pass!!
We have a great pyranese named Milkshake. She is a wonderful dog (now), and is already taking care of them. Porkchop got out Saturday, and Milkshake was trying to herd her back into the pen. Between me and the 8 kiddos, we got the wire fixed, and we've had no more escapees. All are present and accounted for.
P.S. Included a picture of a web. Everytime I see one out at the pen, I think of Charlotte's web! It's even got a picture of Wilbur in the background!!
