ONE FAT PIG
That’s all I’ve got. One little fat pig who looks like a topographical map of the world and his rooster.
And often I have a plethora of images, though plethora – with its bloody connotations – might not be the perfect word. Surfeit – no that is not right either as we never have enough farm images. Abundance?
Anyway – today we do not have an abundance. We just have one fat little pig who is happy as a lark at being set free into the harvested fields.
It is dark. Early morning. I have the next three sold hogs loaded up, plus a very big jack and one of those bolt tightening cross thingies in the back of my truck, just in case. My tire is fixed but the rims are shot. I will take the country roads and go slow. If I sell enough pork maybe I can buy new rims and tires. I guess I will literally sell until the wheels fall off my chariot. Because until the hogs are sold I cannot buy new wheels. How about that for a catch 22. Off I go.
Talk soon.

Thank You So Much For Your Kind Help with Maintaining This Blog
He’s wearing a patchwork leather jacket, but you’ve made him very happy pig.
I like the white socks. And the skin-folds back there. He’s a dear!
Ladies of the blog – this is the last letter I’ve received in my inbox. Is Ceci OK? Is anyone else having this problem? Just worried about our gal! Sunny – sunnylois19@sti.net
Lol, that’d be a tyre wrench you’re speaking of, if I’m not mistaken?; )
Yup, Be Prepared! (And you likely won’t need it; )
And, oh dear, was thinking just yesterday (when you mentioned another had gone flat): that you might need some replacement rubber… But needing both, well that’s a double whammy, isn’t it?
*sigh* It’s always something, isn’t it?; )
Take care and good luck with raising the money to buy new wheels and tyres.
Well I love this picture. How far he has come!
Isn’t it lovely to see all the loose skin that WeiWei hasn’t any need for anymore?: ). And the scarring, well I’ll not say what’s going through my mind (yet again!) about that. It’s just so GOOD that he’s happy: )
Hey Deb, thanks for the many likes for me, I am however having difficulty picking up your blog, can you help please? Laura
Lol, most likely ’cause she’s a work in progress and there are still no posts to see there; sorry Laura; )
Up here http://www.kijiji.ca is our friend for finding things at a decent price. Not sure where you have there that would be the equivalent.
Craigslist is a good one here in the States.
Yes indeed, Pete; Kijiji ROCKS: )
OOh, how is Tane going to take having competition in the harvested corn fields? Funny every woman reading the blog understood just which thingie you were describing and yet I can see the men rolling their eyes, sighing and prissily giving the item its toolbox name. By the way “spanner” works in SA too. :0 Laura
Apparently what my father taught us to use to change a flat and called a wheel or tire wrench is aka a lug wrench on this continent and according to Wikipedia: “in the United Kingdom and Australia it is commonly known as a wheel brace.”
Portrait of a little pig in heaven! Fingers crossed for a series of incident-free deliveries and a new set of rims – just in time!
” topographical map of the world ” The perfect phrase. Take care along the way
I like the white socks. And the skin-folds back there. He’s a dear!
There is a sigh of relief when all the animals are delivered.
Tires and rims! That’s just too much at once. I so understand the frustration. Lets hope today is a success and all will be taken care of soon. Keeping good thoughts.
I need a new washer myself but can’t afford one and have no pig to sell! 🙂
Ahh Wai Wai! His skin looks like a luner landscape. It’s amazing that he pulled through, and all down to your dedicated care. I bet it’s so much nicer to have that corn chopped down at last. Have a nice flat tyre free day!
He’s just so happy! Which makes us all happy 😃
He may be fat but he so alive! Every photo of him is just so heart-warming. Brings on a good day for me. Happy selling day to you!
What a great photo to see first thing this morning. One happy and lucky pig.
so wonderful to that dear large Wai! Kudos to you for your miraculous work!
Have ALL of Wai Wai;s sores and wounds healed? He looks fabulous!
Are you ok? I’m missing you here and a bit concerned. Hope all is well.
Same question… are you ok?
Is there such a thing as a “BMI” for pigs? Do overweight pigs need to diet?
Yes. They certainly do. If you want a pig to live a long life her diet is very restricted- I never let them eat junk food!
Off you go busy girl! Blasted catch 22s
Hope all is well on the farm
Officially worried. Hoping your internet is just down.
Concern is growing, along with the pigs. Hope all is well.
Does anyone have a way to contact Celi directly and report back? Her absence is truly troubling…
I am fine- just got back from
Collecting my
Mother in law who had a fall- long plane trips etc. got back last night. I did write that I would be out if touch for a while / should be back online tomorrow morning.
Oh whew, thank you! Somehow I missed your note about that. Take care…
I was worried also! I missed that note, too. I hope you realize how much you were missed!
He must think he is in heaven, you have nursed that poor fellow back to health!
