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'.


Here's another quandary. One of our dogs, the bearded collie, had a
nerve
sheath tumor just above
the left front paw. We had it removed a couple weeks ago. It will
reoccur,
and eventually require the amputation of the foreleg, at least.

I would prefer putting the dog to sleep as opposed to amputating the
foreleg. My wife would prefer amputation.

What to do....

Dogs get get along very easily with 3 legs, the can do walk, run, go
up
and down stairs without any problem, unless he had other health
issues,
I
would never put him to sleep due to amputation.

Please take your obvious troll about dogs and euthanasia to the
appropriate
forum or NG. This is strictly a boating NG.


This thread *is* boating related!

No it isn't.

Don't get me wrong John, I have no problem with threads like this. But
some
folks here have redefined what is acceptable and unacceptable to post
here.

I just want to know what the new *rules* are and for them to remain
consistent.


I think, JimH, the desire is to have a news group without the acrimony,
ascerbity, and asperity that existed here a few short weeks ago.

That concept is not hard to understand. Anyone with more than a week's
worth of watching a month ago knows that the political threads almost
invariably resulted in the behavior mentioned above. Photography threads
have yet to do so, nor have 'pet' threads (until today, of course).

Perhaps you and Harry would be happier in a.politics?

I have not posted anything regarding politics here for quite some time. Why
do you make that comment to me John rather than addressing the issue I
brought up........remaining consistent on what is acceptable and
unacceptable to post here.

The first two paragraphs addressed your comment new 'rules'.
