Our friendly neighborhood pig paid us another visit, and I was home this time to say hi and hang with it awhile! ❤️😂🐷

I kept trying to take its photo but all it wanted to do was snuffle at my toes, flip flops and leggings!

He's so cute Ronnie. We used to have visits from the neighbors three goats. The gang leader passed away a last year & so now the others don't leave the yard anymore.

My BIL used to joke that pot-bellied pigs weren't good for eating because their chops would be too small. He wanted one as a pet, but my SIL wouldn't let him.
 
The pig probably wanted to eat them. They eat most anything. Including shoes clothing or other smaller pigs. This is why they are referred to as hogs. We had 6 hogs on the farm where I worked while in high school. The other men and I would throw all kinds of stuff into their pen and they would eat or try to eat it. Boars are like that. If it fits in their mouth, they will try to eat it. One of the teenage pigs had a butt prolapse. The boars ate it.

We had 1 female sow that gave birth to 14 piglets. She was a great mommy. Every piglet got fed.
 
When I lived on my grandparents farm, there was a piggery about 3 miles away. One day, the owner came by and asked Gramps if his grandson (me) would be interested in helping to do a full cleanup of the pens. He had about 500 or more pigs. If you haven’t been around pigs, let me clue you in. There is nothing in this whole wide world that smells worse than pig $hit. Nothing at all.

Gramps asked me if I would help him out. I said sure, which way did he come in? There was no way I was getting involved in that job. Just the smell burns my nose and eyes. Worse smell than anything I ever smelled before.

A famous Canadian serial killer, Robert Pickton, operated a pig farm. The RCMP spent MONTHS searching that property looking for body parts, only to conclude that he had fed his victims to the pigs. He was eventually convicted through testimony of some of his criminal associates at trial and a few bone scraps that held DNA. JImB.

Many years ago, I read a “true crime” story of 2 brothers that owned a pig or hog farm in Arkansas, I think. They also made moonshine as a cash crop during slow times. On an early spring morning, they had just finished making quarts of shine to sell when 2 government agents entered their farm and had a search warrant in hand. To prevent detection, they took the 2 agents hostage, killed them, cut them up, ran them through a grinder and fed their remains to the pigs.

After spending years in prison, the government offered the one younger brother a deal if he told what happened to the 2 agents, they would let him go. He told the story and at first they didn’t believe him, but he continued telling them it was the truth, the polygraph showed it was the truth so they let him go. Before the older brother died, he gave a death bed confession and admitted that the story was true.
