Remember this pretty little piggie, our dear Wilbur-ta? She showed up, a little unexpectedly, back at the end of the summer. She's been lots of fun, but she's the only little pig on the place. She thinks the dogs are okay for friends and the chickens visit her sometimes, but really...she needed someone who understood her like only another pig could understand. So, the boys had been looking out for the perfect friend for her.
A couple weeks ago we found the perfect pig for her! Meet Sir Winston Churchill. His friends just call him Winston. And since he's pretty friendly with everybody, you can call him Winston, too.
Now, Winston had led a pretty cushy life (for a pig, anyway) up until he moved in with us. He had a great place to live and a nice family, and he even had his own pillow and blankie, along with a few toys.
Best of all, he got to stay inside most of the time! In fact, his favorite spot at his other house was a nice warm rug in front of the fire. Now, that's the life! Knowing this, we decided since it was really cold the week he came home, to let him sleep inside for the first few nights.
But, he did great outside during the days, (I suspect it had something to do with the pretty Wilbur-ta who was also outside) so within just a few days, he was able to be outside full time. They're getting along famously and I've even overheard them making plans for a family! I'll keep everyone posted!
