Okay, pig in a cat carrier. Sausage and Patty moved down to the meadow bottom pasture yesterday. I’m glad they’re gone–they’d worn out their welcome up here! (Pigs don’t smell good.)
"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

"Lamb-y, then whammy! Get some tickets to Miami! Snow is easing, but we're still freezing. It may be spring by the astronomer, but not by the thermometer. Mighty fine, then leonine."

Some pigs smell real good…..they sniff out truffles in France..….sorry couldn‘t help it…!
If your piggy’s are partially free range…with a nice, wallow in a corner…they tend not to squalor up their sleeping area….also a thick bed helps to absorb the odor, then the area won’t stink quite as much. I read the meat tastes much better too, something about less stress. I read about a scientific study being done on swine odor and manure management in Ames, Iowa, very interesting reading if you want to google it…My Grandma always had hogs going to bacon and ham….she gave the hogs plenty of room and there was no better tasting pork like it…she always slopped away from their bedding area too…I have smelled a pig sty and then I have smelled a pig squalor……….
Dp you remember this little song for kids that goes something like…
Two little pigs rolled in the mud, squishy, squashy felt so good.
The farmer took two pigs out. Oink, oink, oink the pigs did shout.
No little pigs rolled in the mud. they all looked so clean and good….
The farmer turned his back and then those little pigs rolled in the mud again….
PS….wonder if we could train piggy’s to sniff out chocolate truffles….here piggy, seweee, seweee pig!
