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. -- John H.
