Yesterday I took a 3 hour drive to pick up a wether that I plan to move with my buck when we separate from the does (nigerian goats) and when i arrived, the woman was not back yet. So I sat in the driveway and around the corner comes a potbelly pig. Oh my it was the cutest thing I ever did see. It sniffed the chickens,..went to the front door looking for treats maybe or a go inside. I told my daughter give me your camera I need a picture he is just precious. he came right over,..friendly as all get out. The owner arrived and I said your just killing me with the pig,..she said oh...you want him? he is for sale.
You know what I have come to learn since I bought my very first chick,..it's for sale it the worst words that can be said to me! It's like all sensibility just abandons me. My daughter, the mouth of reason stayed in the car reading,..while I went out back to get the wether. So we got to talking about the pig and I new I was heading for danger one,..so I said let me go talk to my daughter. My daughter likes the animals,..but she is an adult and very opinionated usually a mom come on,..I figured yep, mouth of reason. I walked to the car she turned my cell phone to me and on it was a twitter from her to the world. My mother is looking at a pig, she thinks it's cute, how much you wann bet she is bringing it home. I shook my head and said what do you think. She finally got out of the car said what's his name,..and let me tell you it was all over then when the owner said Wilbur,..ugh,..charlottes web. So here we go,..wether in the back in a nice carrier,..pig on back seat mucking up the leather. 3.5 hours later,..no accident, no complaining and we were home with wilbur and our new goat nemo.
So the pledge...
I solemnly swear I will bring no more animals home, not one, never ever ever again. I would like to say unless it's really cute,..but I won't,.. I mean it this time,..NO MORE ANIMALS!!!
You know she had a female pig too,...hmmm.....I even told her I would come get it on friday
,...but no I am calling her to cancel,...I know now I went over the edge,...I swear it no more room at the Inn!
So once again I solemnly Swear I will bring no more animals home!
