Rachel asked on her blog for us to all take a photo of something incidental in or around our homes or in the street. Here's my photographic offering:
Remember the two young piglets that we brought in to hand feed?
Well they are doing fine drinking the lamb milk replacer and they have began to cover themselves in their bedding.
Instead of pigs in blankets they are pigs in straw!
If you click on the photo and enlarge you will see the piggy wigs hiding.
I didn't know piggies covered themselves with bedding. They're just like people :)
ReplyDeletePigs are very much like people River. They are like old people with their feeding habits and DEMAND to be fed at the same time every time. They seem to be flying it.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo Dave, it really does capture the moment before the moment. I remember the piglets hiding in the straw and then coming charging out at feeding time.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the straw camouflage photo of the two pigs Rachel. They do exactly what you say and although they have two bottles to feed. They both fight over the same bottle. They are characters!
ReplyDeleteIt's always interesting to read about your little piggies. Good photo
ReplyDeleteThey are two little boars Linda. They are characters and certainly not boring. Sorry for the pun😊.
ReplyDeleteThey have a pretty good life over there with you, Dave.
ReplyDeleteWe try to give them a good life JayCee. Nature is so kind and so cruel. I think I am growing webbed feet with all this rain.
ReplyDeleteWe are braced for gales and flooding arriving later today over here. Oh joy.
DeleteSnap! It's going to be Operation Top Shelf and batten down the hatches JayCee. Please computer gods let the internet keep working.
ReplyDeleteAaawww - little piggies don't have fur do they? - maybe they regulate their temperatures by using your straw for clothing as an when required. xxx Mr T (who has lots of fur but sometimes needs a little extra thermal assistance.)
ReplyDeleteYou could be right Tigger. I read somewhere that pigs can't/don't sweat. So in an hot summer they need mud and water to cool down. Our piglets seem to like their straw eiderdown/camouflage.
ReplyDeleteGood to see piglets doing piggy things!!
DeleteThey prefer the Conservatory to their Sty GZ.
DeleteRemember "Spot The Ball"? It's like that but now it's "Spot The Snout"!
ReplyDeleteGood idea. There's also Cow Plop Lotto where the ground is divided into a grid and you guess which square the cow will plop in. It's a rural equivalent of the Euromillions lottery but you have much more chance of winning YP.
