Wee Wee Wee All The Way Home

Yesterday this little piggie came home! He is a rescue from the Shelbyville Indiana Animal Shelter. His name is Wilbur! I am beginning to really feel like I have a farm now.
I have aquired the following in the past year:

2 goats
2 chickens
4 turkeys
1 pot bellied pig

I had a few more chickens but something got them, but now I have Roscoe, the coon dog, and he keeps the varmints away form the livestock!

Setting up my little mini farm/homestead is quite a joy, and it can be filled with excitement. Much to my dismay, many of my friends and family members don't see what all the fuss is about, when I call them and loudly exclaim "I'm getting a pig today!"

I guess the feeling is mutual though. I just don't quite "GET IT" when they are all excited about sitting at a slot machine in one of the local casino's and feeding it money, that they will never see again! Or their excitement about a football game on tv, that they don't know any of the players personally.

So, I guess to each his own, but me and my new piggie went Wee Wee Wee all the way home yesterday!
