I got down on my knees and was all, Fist bump of solidarity, sisterfriend. I FEEL for you. Then I offered to take her out for drinks.
Then she snorted at me, as if to say, Please, lady. I have TWELVE babies scrambling and squealing and climbing and demanding that I feed them right now.
The farmer got in the pen to help this little runt stay latched on, because I guess even pigs need lactation consultants.
Afterward, he told me that if she were in a barn, he'd never be able to get in the stall and get between her and her babies. He said she'd attack him. I smiled and nodded and said, Of course. Mamas have to protect their babies.
Me and pigs. We just get each other. Except for the part where I like to eat them... and they probably don't like to be eaten. Sorry, pigs.

The life lessons at a state fair! Cute post and I love the pictures.
I love this so much. I can't wait to go to the fair today.
Also, you made me go back in my archives to find this post - I am so glad I did. Gray was exactly Ivy's age at this time.
My heart.

Oh, Erin. I love pigs,too. Not only are they tasty, but my grandpa was a pig farmer. He died when I was four, and the only memories I have of him are of him and me, with the pigs, like almost falling backwards into a pig trough.
Anyway, any time I see a little pig, my heart melts in memory of my grandpa, and also? I want one of those miniature teacup pigs people get as pets.
mmm...bacon.
That is a busy momma. Love the pictures. I really need to get my family to our fair. We go every year, but this year has been so crazy-busy!
LOL.... poor pig.
But yummy yummy bacon....
So adorable! I love piggies and baby piggies take the cake.

I want that baby pig. We need to make this happen.
I guess all I can say is, "Oink, oink."
We saw these same pigs yesterday. I was worried about the runt not getting to eat. Glad to hear that the farmer lended a helping hand.
Thank you for the birthday wishes and being a ray of sunshine last night, which is what I needed. And thanks for picking up the key lime pie. I just had a small sliver.
Steph is so blessed to be surrounded by such great friends such as yourself. Love ya! Rhonda
yet one more reason I feel like a pig. Sigh.
