Well, we've done it again. We have more pigs for the summer! It wouldn't be a summer without another family of pigs to take care of. These pigs are a whole new breed we had never heard of, Tamworth. The lady we bought them from says that her sow is one of the few hundred that is left in the U.S. They're almost extinct! These pigs are soo cute! They are a dark red, like a Duroc, and some of them have black spots across them. The litter also had a few runts, and they looked just like baby deer! Alyssa wanted one for a pet. They were really cute! Sadly, they were all spoken for or else we could have come home with A LOT of pigs... ;) In the past years, we had just built a make-shift shack for the pigs to stay warm in. Well, Allen decided to go above and beyond and build a house for the pigs. It looks pretty good and so far the pigs love it! It's really warm in there. When we brought the pigs home last night, they came home to a snowstorm! We brought them from Lava, so they had a weather change! Poor piggies. :( But, we have 4 bales of straw in their house, so they should be plenty warm. You can't see the pigs through the straw! As for the names of the pigs, Alyssa - Bambi, Lexi - Maximus/Flynn Rider/Rapuntzel, Mitch - hasn't thought of one yet... :)
