The Piglets, By Abigail

What’s up readers, It’s your (hopefully favorite blogger) Abigail writing again to tell you about our newest additions, The Piglets! To fully understand my tale you should probably read Pigs, By PJ, first. It leaves off with our two girls pregnant and (the further along pig ) Sue’s due date April 18th, approaching fast. April 16th we moved Sue into our piggy birthing area and everyone was in rather a commotion (dogs and cat included). Sue’s sister Dotty didn’t take being separated from her sister very well and was extremely distraught the first two days. April 17th Sue surprised us with 5 healthy soda can sized piglets! They were so captivating in more way’s then one! We are undecided but here is the unofficial list of names for our sweeties: Phoenix, Clay, Onyx, Opal and Pearl. What’s y’alls favorite piglet name?

Dotty’s View

Panic and dread settles heavily in my brain as the humans take my sister Sue away! I screech and squeal, “Wait! What about me? Don’t leave me alone!” But with little avail, for the humans pay no attention to me and one of them even had the audacity to say I sounded like a loud bird! Thankfully I can take some comfort in being able to hear my sister even if I can’t see her. Sausage, Bacon, and Pinocchio all huddle together discussing the new arrangements and as I sink into worry and despair the boys come over to me and try to distract or give me comfort. Finally its dinner time and the humans feed us and then stick around to give me belly rubs and loving words. Later in the night, when I was both lonesome and scared, my human Daddy came and rubbed my big belly and comforted me to sleep and when I stirred he instantly went back to rubbing me. Day 3 is not so bad and the boys and the humans give me lots of attention and treats! But I still miss my sister. On the bright side though I can’t wait to meet my nieces and nephews!

The Boys Thoughts

“Something new and possibly exiting is happening” Bacon announces. Sausage retorts with a sarcastic, “What really, I couldn’t at all see that for myself, idiot!” “Hush” I tell both of them (me being Pinocchio) as I strain to hear and observe all that is happening. It would appear that Sue has had her piglets. It would also seem as if Dotty is quite upset about being left alone and unable to see her sister. “Shame Larry didn’t stick around to see the piglets,” Sausage comments sourly. “Well he didn’t exactly have a choice,” Bacon quips. “Besides, if he had met them he may have just eaten them like he did everything else,” I say. Dotty’s squealing snaps us back to attention and after regarding her we try to give her some comfort with little avail. At last I tell her Sue seems fine and that all a pig can do is hope.

Meow Meow’s Opinion

I can’t believe it, the smelly, mucky , sloppy, overgrown capybara has given birth to a bunch of stinky, loud rats and to make matters worse the humans appear to think that the rug rats are cuter than me! ME!!!! Me, the cutest animal that has ever graced their presence! And the humans fed me 15 minutes late because of the rats! I almost starved to death, my fur and existence all but faded away! Thus, I have decided upon a small mutiny! Wish me luck and possibly a snack or two!

Boaz and Ruth’s Observation

“Whatever do you think is going on over there?” Boaz asks, “Perhaps howling will make it clearer!” Through the racket of Boaz’s howling, “Oh, I do wish I knew what was happening, it sounds both exiting and like an adventure!” Ruth replies. Your faithful writer Abigail Meyer!
