Comment on Rick wants a pig by BrindaBanerjee

That Rick loves bacon is indeed hilarious and my bet is that might change. Really enjoyed this and will follow to see what happens next! I’m originally from India and all I can say – hope Rick does not come across the town pigs there – they root in garbage and are not very attractive. Good on you to support his deep seated desires and good luck…..

I love a happy ending – I knew you’d give in ….. Yeh for Kowhai. Also, thanks for the Longbush link. I’ve been thinking about a local pig supply and this will be perfect.

I’m so happy to hear you’ve increased the pig population at the olive grove, they make wonderful pets. And, yes, it’s always best to get two pets, they’re great company for each other, double the love, and great time wasters watching them at play.

Loved your story and laughed aloud as I read it. I had a feeling a “new” pig was in your future. It’s so nice of you and Rick to help out your neighbors. :)

I am just reading "The Good Good Pig" by Sy Montgomery. It opens a totally new "pig world" for me - and as pigs are such an intelligent lot it makes the idea of them being abused in "pig factories" even more repulsive. It's a charming and entertaining read and was apparently a national bestseller in the US.

Three little kittens? There’s a story in there somewhere…. Are Pico and Baxter named after Pico Iyer and James K Baxter perhaps?

Here’s hoping Comet’s safe and warm somewhere, having been adopted by someone as compassionate as you.

I most certainly did not think I’d ever have pet pigs to contend with, that’s true!

Years ago, we got 2 kittens, Pico and Baxter. A few months later, Pico went missing – we did all we could – flyers in post boxes up and down the surbub and at the vet’s, and a notice on petsonline. Nothing. Poor Baxter who always had the company of another cat was suddenly alone. So we promptly went and got wee little Trouble. A mere few weeks later, Pico turned up (after 3 months!). And suddenly there were 3 – which made for a rather cramped household, sofa…and bed! But we were also blessed with triple the smooches and constant cat talk . :-)

Love the photos of the piggies. Nice to know Kowhai has company again. x.
