OUR WORLD - Kowhai


A few weeks ago, my eldest granddaughter came home
from our agricultural show with a tiny piglet.

Hear soft heart turned over seeing these motherless babies
so we are once more saddled with a pet.

Beside her two dogs, cat, ram lamb, three goat kids
and horses of course, 


A week later, little Kowhai is already drinking from a bowl
while Boston looks on


and cleans up the spills


ah, that was good but even a piglet is full
when a piglet is full!


Bet you think my manners leave something to be desired,
I'm a PIG not a debutante!


That's that, now for some more work in the garden.



Now show us your world!

  17. Pigs are very intelligent and can be trained to do all kinds of things, including guarding the yard. It almost looks as if Boston has adopted the little guy for now, so he may grow up to think he's a dog.
    I really enjoyed this post.
    Thanks!

  19. He is so cute! You have such a sweet granddaughter and I am glad you are an "enabler"...in this instance that's a beautiful word. As a kid, raised pigs and he says they are the smartest animal.
