She looks a lot like J.P., our last piggie, and in fact she, like he, is another runt and came to us from the same Mennonite farmer (on a side note, one of our friends suggested we call this one "J.P. II", but I try not to use Christian names or those of candidates for canonization when I can help it).She has already managed to escape her pen, which doesn't seem to be much of a problem right now since she follows the cows wherever they go.
Our heifer, Naomi, seems to be tolerating her ugly foster-child pretty well. Cookie, being still a baby, gets tired of following and flops down in the grass while Naomi grazes. Then Cookie, being still a baby, falls fast asleep. When she awakens she is in a total panic to find her "Mommy". Thank goodness the cows have bells on them...
what great pictures of your sweet animals....in many ways i so envy your farm lifestyle/vocation. but for the record, i willingly accept that it is not where God, in HIS infinite wisdome put me. but a girl can dream, right..... :)
ReplyDeleteI just love the look of your location - everything looks so fresh and green. (sigh)

Hi, Tracy! Yes, we've had a good bit of rain this year. By this time last year, a real drought year, everything was getting pretty crisp.
ReplyDeleteIt's winter down under, isn't it?
That is SOOOO cute! I love the name too--sweet little Cookie-or is it Crispy Cookie? LOL
