A few days ago we got a call from a local farmer asking if we would like to have a pig that had gotten trampled by some of her bigger pigs. She simply did not have to time to rehab a pig, so asked if one of our kids needed a winter project. Emily readily agreed.
We got the little pig here and set him up in his cozy new home. His back leg is broken, but once he gets up he seems to be able to move around.
He squeals and backs away when Emily reaches out to pet him, so they are in need of some bonding time.
Our two kitties seem to be taking good care of him as well. They are very curious and have stayed nearby him most all day!
After a few days and quite a few apples, the piggie is starting to warm up to Emily.
Bob's idea for this pig is get him up to weight enough to have a pig roast. Well, thanks to our good friend Jeremy, the pig is now named Gimpy. Tonight 4 of the 6 kids prayed that Gimpy would get better...not a good idea to name the pig you want to put on a spit!!
