DD 12/6

It’s a beautiful bright and crisp Friday with ample sunshine.  The sunshine is having no affect on the temperature!


I’m researching pigs.  There are so many pigs in rescue mainly, it appears, because people don’t realize that even ‘miniature’ in the pig world is gargantuan and turns like a Mack truck.

My only experience with pigs is on a farm on the Isle of Colonsay shouting ‘pig, pig, pig, pig, piggy’ and waiting to see the result.  It was impressive and rather daunting, two enormous, pinkish pigs came thundering over a hill and down to the gate where they, very fortunately, stopped.  Dinner was enthusiastically consumed and then they left without a backwards glance!  Pretty limited interaction and definitely not detailed enough to color a decision!

So porcine research abounds which will keep me busy and out of trouble!
