The Flying Scots-Man

Our Scotman has arrived on a plane and now we have a full complement of workers. 

Last night he and the girls all went for a walk after dinner – I think they are going to get along just fine. 

Wai the rescue potbelly pig refused to let Alissa cover him while I was away at the airport, snapping like a turtle at her.  These flat one dimensional images do not do justice to the sheer bloodymindedness of this pig. The wounds you are seeing are indented into his body. Some between a 1/4 and a 1/2 inch deep. I can feel his joints under my fingers.  When the skin is healed he will have extraordinary scars. All my workers visibly blanch and swallow when they see him. His survival is astounding.  All that healing and still has time to be an ordinary fussy bad tempered wee pig. Love it!! 

I think he has made friends with Tima too which is amazing. Tima is not known for her good nature or kindness to animals.

After giving me a full week of perfect weather the forecast now shows a chance of rain every day until Sunday. And I have cut all the hayfields. And I need one more day of drying. Just ONE MORE DAY!

Fingers crossed.

I hope you have a lovely day. Me too!!

Love celi

  1. Oh I am so glad to hear that Wai will be able to live out the rest of his life with you on the Farmy! After all he’s been through and has just now found some goodness and compassion, it would not be good for him or you if he had to move on. You two have worked too hard together…
    Have you been able to find out yet what exactly happened to him? I truly hope it wasn’t intentional. He is looking sooo much better, day by day C. Bless you..
