Oh my gosh, I miss Otis and Mona...
When my MIL was here for Chr'mas one year, we made pics with my pot belly pig, Mona, wearing elf shoes in front of the tree! It was sooo cute and we made cards for everyone in the family.
My MIL was skeptical about a 'house pig', but really warmed to her before the visit was over. Dang, I miss that lady --- I was just getting to know her when she passed.
She'd get a kick that her 'anti-pet / critter' son, has embraced 'country life' and brings home his own critters now!
