There was a short lived tv sit com called "Lush Life" A quality affair staring Lori Petty of Tank Girl fame...

Lori Petty is pretty but shall we say NOT well endowed. One scene shows her getting dressed for work pulling on a Tshirt that sais Hooters on the front.... Her best line in the whole short lived series... "What!... I put em on after I get to work."

Gawd what a lot of typing for a bit of humor.

Time to take my meds and go to bed...

Yesterday evening I was doing the outdoor chores and I swear I heard a pig. I mean, it's kinda hard to tell exactly what one hears with a flock of guineas, toms, roosters and hens. Don't forget the ducks quacking and the goats screaming. I figured it was just the neighbors annoying children, and maybe they were playing with their snowmobile on the mud.

Shortly thereafter BF got called back to work. He texted me that there was a loose pig running up and down our road.

Not knowing anyone near us with pigs, I figure that pig is mine.

I just have to catch it.

After BF got back from work we went out driving in the dark. While we could hear the pig snorting in the woods we couldn't locate it. I left the truck, sent him back home, and went out with a pocketful of cookies, a Folgers container of goat food and a head lamp.

I was still unsuccessful. I did manage to find 2 cans of soda, so at least I made 10 cents.

Today I am going to leave a rubber bucket of goat food at the end of the driveway. And possibly ask my boss to leave early so I can catch a pig.

SCG, good luck on your pig hunt.

I think I would put an ad in the paper, on FB, or flyers in the local feed store before you put too much effort into catching and too much money into housing "your pig." I mean, I totally agree that she SHOULD be your pig, that it would be BETTER OFF your pig, and that who ever used to have it may not even mind if she is your pig...... but if after all your hard work and expense (not to mention instant attachment) someone disagreed that it was your pig.........well, that would be bad.

Feral pigs are a real nuisance in parts of the South; most folks would agree that anyone taking a loose pig out of circulation was doing their neighbors a favor (have you ever seen the damage a pig can do, rooting in a flowerbed?!) Don't know about your neck of the woods, SCG.

We were visited by a couple of Potbellied pigs a few years back. They cruised the neighborhood for a few days, but I suspect that they eventually found their way back home. I know someone a mile or so away that has Potbellies, but she said they weren't hers.

SCG you can't be sure it's not some wild boar

SCG, good luck on your pig hunt.

Be very careful wild pigs are not friendly! You may need heavy airline cable to get it home or heavy duty netting.

Linda it's good to hear from you. Good luck on your catfish pond! And def blame the meds!

Wisher congrats on your new birds and lucky Maran eggs! You rock!


Peep so sorry your oops egg was not the right eggs.

Deb that's funny! What a surprise! lol

So sorry Chicki


It really would not matter to me. If I see a needle or any instrument in a dentist's hand I go thru the roof!

Alaskan I kinda lean toward walnut comb. If you want more expert opinion post at "what breed or gender is this." just to ask about comb. He/she is cute as the dickens.

You have a good camera, did one of you sons take the pictures? I was fooling around with my Fuji point & shoot digital and tried moving some settings around. (can't find manual) and I think I really messed it up. Used to take very sharp photos.- not anymore. It's several years old maybe it's just worn out.

When I press on the shutter button some kind of warning pops up, a hand making a stop gesture but I don't know what it wants me to do. If only women designed cameras they would have no nonsense icons.

Latestarter, sounds like you were a great daddy. It's very healthy and normal for little people to transition from mommy to daddy as they grow, and I always feel a bit sorry for the kids that don't get the chance to do that.

Coulda fooled me, my nearly 23 Y/O daughter is still VERY much a "Mommy's girl". The younger one has never attached either way.

Your probably right but it is to funny!

Al I thought that a hen can stay fertile for at least 2 weeks from one breeding.

Maybe also give him a week off to "resupply".
