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.


That's the difference between those 'country boys' and us 'city folk'.
