Of course, biting ears and tails produces lots of blood for small wounds. They have all settled down, according to M. I loved your blog and have sent it to M.<br /><br />Erin - Yes, even though I know it will embarrass the heck out of her, M is one of the most beautiful women/people I have ever seen up close! It is fitting that she raises a beautiful breed of pig! I would have loved to have slipped that dog in the back of the truck (with us, not with G).Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573143203599624833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-87113109634498228602011-01-27T09:43:50.385-05:002011-01-27T09:43:50.385-05:00Thanks for sharing this fun story! Poor guy, I...Thanks for sharing this fun story! Poor guy, I'm sure he'll settle in with the girls once the hormones aren't raging, sometimes I feel like pummeling my hubby as well LOL. These are truly times to treasure and good bonding time with friends. Nice that you took the photo of the pig, it truly is a good looking breed - of course the border collie always dresses things up, growing up on a sheep farm I truly appreciate all things herding dog, can't get enough of them! And M is beautiful just like that - anyone can look good when they prep for it, but it takes a beautiful woman to look good in her truck with her woolies on, bravo girls!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-48074683767754008422011-01-27T09:20:15.137-05:002011-01-27T09:20:15.137-05:00They always try to establish a pecking order can l...They always try to establish a pecking order can look quite scary at times. We breed our Tamworths outside all year round, not quite the temperatures you get (down to -16c) but nevertheless they shrug it off.<br />Vey funny pigs to keep, full of character.Macnean Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02157949683935908963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-87746391439335575102011-01-27T07:16:29.153-05:002011-01-27T07:16:29.153-05:00What an adventure!

I think that meeting the girls gradually will bring back his self confidence.<br /><br />Melanie - of course it doesn't do her justice! Winter doesn't do any of us justice, when you have to wear long underwear under flannel lined jeans under turtlenecks under fleece jackets under down parkas over Carhart coveralls, topped with woolen hats and two layers of hand coverings. There's not much left! I will surreptitiously take a more "true" picture of her in the spring. But, as far as I'm concerned, she has the type of beauty that shines both inside and outside - no matter what the dressing!<br /><br />APG - no, it was censored due to my darn lack of picture-taking. I would have shown you blood, sweat and shine-ola.<br /><br />Tiggeriffic - you are so right. Having company on long road trips makes the time go by quickly. We always get a lot done - talk over ideas and plans for the future.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573143203599624833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-49681736095269251352011-01-26T23:29:55.438-05:002011-01-26T23:29:55.438-05:00Cute Cute story..

HA!<br /><br />Oh I am going to insist that you have the camera at ready the next time you girls galavant and state hop! I gotta see that pig in action :)<br /><br />Well I hope that G isn't still getting beat on! You will have to let us know how he is doing.<br /><br />Great story and thanks for sharing!

You'll both have good memories and get lotsa laughs recalling the trip . . . probably a little later.<br /><br />Poor Giovanni! I hope his introduction to the girls didn't put him off women forever. The situation may have gone better for him if he could have met the girls one at a time. Maybe. Or maybe not.<br /><br />We may not be able to excuse you next time if you forget to take pictures on such an adventuresome day. Even a picture of your accessorized boots in the warm, enclosed truck would have been interesting. ;o)Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.com
