It’s a good thing potbellied pig owners are as stubborn as their pets, otherwise by today Gwendolyn, a Vietnamese porker, would have been a goner. Kudos to Ms. Pat Brown who has refused to do-in her pet at the behest of her county government. As long as PG County Government persists in its needless [...]
As you may already know, I have taken up the new pasttime of political activism on behalf of pet potbellied pigs and their owners, specifically regarding one pig and her approaching death sentence. Yesterday I emailed a local councilman with my views on this matter. Since it could also be looked upon as a manifesto [...]
Gwendolyn is a 20-year old potbellied pig that has been living peacefully with her owner, Pat Brown, since her youth. That is, until Prince George’s County disrupted that peace. When Brown first brought Gwendolyn to her home in Prince George’s County, Maryland, zoning laws were broad enough to protect a large variety of animals as [...]
Today on Ellen, Clint Eastwood revealed his special affection for a pig named Penelope. Didn’t think Eastwood was the type to dress his pets up for the holidays? Think again.**
Other relatively famous people recently disclosing pig ownership or prospective pig ownership:
Jeanine F. Pirro, a TV Judge, and soon the Beckhams.
Now just because Clint, Jeanine, Posh, [...]
Can’t you give them a break? All they want to do is audition. Can’t three little piggies go to the big market of Birmingham, England anymore without government interference?
We’ll keep our eyes posted for any Youtube video of this that pops up. Should be interesting.
The pigs had spent most of the morning outside playing, but when I returned home from the post office they were intently working on arranging their bed inside. This involves shifting covers with their hooves, nuzzling them with their noses, and occasionally picking them up with their teeth. But today, they never seemed to find [...]
I stumbled upon this quick story in my browsing:
Many people owe their lives to the tender protection and brave acts of other animals. Here is a simple story about one remarkable pig, there are many other stories just like this one. JoAnn Altsman had a heart attack and collapsed to the ground. Lulu, her daughter’s [...]
Apparently, hydrogen peroxide is useful for more than just inducing vomiting after your pigs’ chocolate overdose.
It can also get rid of your bad breath. I want to emphasize your bad breath. Not your pig’s bad breath. Pigs can’t gargle as far as I know and we know what happens if they swallow it.
It started as rain. Then it became snow. None of the animals are hanging around outside today. I have to push the pigs out when it’s time for them to go potty. They go to the door, look out, and shuffle backwards. They’re good pigs, but houselife has softened them. I imagine people had [...]
My pigs overdosed on chocolate. They’re not supposed to have any, but some time in the evening hours yesterday one of them, most likely Finnemore, climbed the treacherous heights of the leather sofa, crossed the wooden plains of the side table, and pushed the forgotten pot of goodies from its stable perch on the edge [...]
