Pet Pig ????!!!!

Eisboch


Yeah. We got him as a frostbitten, tiny piglet. We raised him in
the
house,
feeding him from a bottle until he got old enough to eat on his
own.
He
was
a great pet, would jump on the couch, sit in my lap, beg to be
petted,
just
like a dog.

However, they grow up and get heavy. When it jumped on the couch
and
put
its hoof through the cushion, it got banned from the couch. Once it
hit
about 250lbs, it didn't fit on my lap anymore. It went to the
butcher
shop,
Neither my mother nor my younger brothers would eat bacon unless
they
saw
it come out of the store package!

Did you see Porky's picture? Cute little guy, huh?

You ate your pet!

The same thought crossed my mind when I read John's post.

How can you eat an animal you raised and loved as a pet?


Hunger.

Thanks. I don't question your circumstances at the time John, I just
would
have a very hard time doing it.


Don't know if you looked at the picture, but I *can* tell you that we
didn't eat the cat!

Sorry if I was insensitive..........I just could not resist.

How old were you when you lost your pet pig? That had to be pretty tough.


Seventh grade, about 12, I guess. Yes, we were all sad. Being raised on a
farm gives one a different perspective on farm animals as pets. I had a pet
calf, Mayflower. But, eventually Mayflower also got butchered. Also a sad
time. My pet crow froze to death one night, outside. It wouldn't come when
called, even though we tried most of the night. The next morning we found
it just off the back porch.
