ETA: Miss Pig-Pig has been returned to her people. I have visitation rights.
Miss Pig-Pig’s people were out looking for her and I heard them calling her, so I located them and reunited them with their pig.
Meanwhile, Bixby, who can open any door, had managed to get to her, so I said screw it, I’ll let her in the backyard where she and the dogs played like they’d known each other forever.
Ducks were not amused.
I have video, you’ll have to wait for it because I must now get back to my planned day. Kisses.
Yes, that’s a pig.
Yes, it’s in my front yard (now in my garage).
Anyone keeping track of how many different animals I’ve rescued since we’ve all known each other?
No, she is NOT staying.

So I have a rescue farm coming to get her – she can’t stay here – she’s clearly a house pig – and potty trained – it distressed her to go on the mat I left for her, she really wanted to potty outside. It’s been a few hours and no one has claimed her and I walked the neighborhood and no one was out looking for her. My garage is clearly NOT pig proof.

I hope she is a pet, not food.

Had Super Sunday brunch late this am, waffles and mimosas. It’s just us four, me, Alice, son Josh, his fiancee Crissy. No call on the game, because betting against Brady seems imprudent, yet I know Chiefs all-around better team.
Super Bowl menu: Chips and pineapple salsa (latter made by Josh). Vegetarian chili and cornbread (made by Alice). Ribs, mac and cheese and coleslaw, made by food truck a mile or so down the road. Beer, wine and three flavors of Polar seltzer in the fridge.

My nephew raises pigs for 4H, and they can top out over 300 pounds. It’s challenging to push eight or ten of those into the show pen at once. I do not recognize this coloring, so it may be a pet breed, not a meat animal.
EDIT: I see at 24 it’s potty trained, and no one does that with meat animals! I wear my worst jeans when working the show, and just throw them away afterward.

Are calico pigs like calico cats, most always girls?
If she’s not a potbellied pig she is going to get huge.

@MagdaInBlack: The owners may have decided it was getting too big, and dropped it off near TaMara’s place. My sister lives in a rural area and people often do that with dogs and cats.
It’s very irresponsible, but many seem to think the animals will be able to fend for themselves in the country. That might even be true for pigs, but we don’t need more feral pigs.
Jay
@MagdaInBlack:
sadly, a lot of people abandon pets. Period.
Mellow, jelly, is our shed roof kitty. His original people deliberately left him behind when they moved. The Cat Girls kept an eye on him, tried to keep him fed and socialized, and he learned to sleep on rotten shed roofs to avoid other cats and predators. He lived a spring, summer and fall of that.
at one of our last neighbourhood dinner parties, outdoors before the onset of winter, the Cat Girls dropped a purring Mellow into SWMBO’s lap, and that was that.

She had to fend for herself long enough to get heartworm. When the rescue organization who took her in called the people connected with the chip information, they were asked if they wanted her back and they replied that they left her in the woods because she was no longer of any use. I don’t understand people like that. They could have turned her over to a rescue organization rather than letting her get heartworm and nearly starving to death. When I met Gracie she weighed 40 lbs. now she weighs 95lbs. She’s in July of calendar A. I have no difficulty imagining people who are able to abandon a potty trained pig.

Pigs, by nature are a highly social, herd bonded animal.
Meat pigs are in most cases, not allowed to be that, and as a result, are “dangerous” livestock.
One of our neighbours at the time, raised Tamsworth’s as a niche, but they kept escaping, and were dangerous to be around, so he stopped by, for some advice.
I reviewed his “operation”, and convinced him to “free range” them with the cows, goats and sheep. I went into the pens, opened them all up, and sat in the alleyway with a feed bucket for 8 hours. The pigs were for a while, weirded out, about being able to be a “herd”, not trapped in individual stalls with barely enough room to move, and this human, sitting in the alleyway with a food bucket, giving treats and skritches to any pig brave enough to venture close.
4 months later, he knew all his pigs by name and personality, and in the evening, he would call, and everybody would come home together as a herd. All the doors to the pens were removed, and some of the pen sides, so they could “pig pile” however they wanted.
They were still “meat” but had much better lives.

@Juju: We think that was the case with our Lil Bit. I always wanted to take out an ad in the paper and say “SEE THIS LITTLE GIRL, WE GAVE HER A GREAT LIFE YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE”!

We found a young shepherd on a dogwalk. Brought her home. Called niece who does facebook. Eight hours later the owner called us. Newly adopted dog. Got loose while they went to the store. Her boyfriend had been driving her around all that time as she sobbed and searched. Eventually she gave up, came home, got on facebook, and there we all were , waiting ten doors up the street.

@SiubhanDuinne:
We live way out in the country, and have had several animals who were abandoned. In fact we have a wonderful kitty, named Punkin, who Wife rescued from a culvert. She wasn’t much bigger than a chipmunk when Wife brought her home. Took her to our Vet clinic the next Monday, where we learned she was 6 months old!!!
She topped out near 20 pounds, a compulsive eater from her hungry youth, now a much more reasonable weight. She’s a mostly black calico, very affectionate. Still a chowhound, we feed her in the bathroom and don’t let her out until everyone has finished their dinner. She’s with Coo in the top left corner of this month.
Our other current kitty is Spike, so named because she is so very sharp. She’s in the calendar too, clawing at a little tree out back. Gray tabby, I think. Also affectionate, learned to purr after about 8 months sitting on my shoulder while I was computing. Stone silent for months! She came from our Vet clinic, which runs an underground rescue service. Underground to keep the volume reasonable. No one turned away.
Ken
@OzarkHillbilly: The biggest I’ve ever had to deal with is 300#, because that’s the upper limit for the show. (Crawford County MO, your area.)
The scariest part of the event is the pee-wee show, which is held after the rest of the judging. A dozen pigs, sometimes more, that have been out to the pen and back at least once and are hot and cranky is bad enough. Then dump a bunch of six-year olds, none of whom really know what they’re doing, in the holding pen with them. Nerve-wracking.

The first cat we had after we were married came to us because what I first thought was a mud clump in a mud puddle was a 3 month old grey tiger kitten. I brought her home, cleaned her up, she settled in on the bed like she owned it. My husband came home, looked, said ” I see we have a cat.” By the end of the evening she was sleeping on his shoulder. ( no dummy, she.)
There were many more moments of ” I see we have a new…*critter*” in our marriage =-)

Let the fun begin!
This one was not fun. My buddy was changing breeds and so had sold his boar. That pig wanted nothing to do with that trailer. The thing that finally turned the tide was when I got down low under his ass with my shoulder and lifted it a bit. I think it was his losing touch with terra firma that made him move forward to regain his footing. Then I’d do it again and he’d go forward again.
Some animals really don’t like not having their feet on the ground.

I discovered yesterday there’s a largish middle eastern grocery store not too far from me that includes a hallal meat department. I am so excited to go there to buy some lamb!
