Five years ago or so, Donna saw a listing on a trade'n'sell list for guinea pig supplies. The pig was included free. LOL Anyway, we went to get the pig and the supplies and he was the cutest lil thing I had ever seen. My friend's kid had a hamster years ago and I wasn't impressed, but the pig turned out to be a really nice addition to the pack.

He'd greet me in the morning with a request for carrot and he'd remind me if I took too long to deliver. He lived in a pigdom in the first bedroom and Donna and I would both pass him often during the day.

He was basically just a rodent, but cute goes a long way. Rodents don't seem to serve much useful purpose in the world but caring for them can add great joy to the lives of humans. It's hard to believe that I became so attached to him. His remains are in a box in his room and if the worm spell had thawed the ground I will dig a hole tomorrow in a patch of lilac.

Probably could have tried today, but I'm not quite ready to say goodby. Here's a pic for those who can't lode video:



The video below is of me and Arby. I'm changing the bedding in the pigdom with him present. He inspects each cup of sawdust and hops up on the railing when he hears the treat bag.
