Xmas bacon

[tacit]

I am so very behind on my flist! But this has entertained me greatly.

So, my best friend C arrived at her boyfriend JJ's family farm on the 23rd to help pack turkeys overnight. JJ's mum pulled C aside and apparently there was a conversation that went along these lines.

JJ's mum: Quiet. Come with me.
C: Um...?
JJ's mum: Quick, before JJ notices.
JJ: *eyes them*
C: Uh, ok...?
JJ's mum: R, distract your brother!
Bro (aged 10): *farts* Look at this snot I saved from this afternoon!
*women proceed to dining room, where there is a box by a radiator*
JJ's mum: We found her under a bush. She's about 2 weeks old. She must've been abandoned.
C: *investigates*
JJ's mum: And I'm not allowed to keep her, and you've got that big garden, and I thought that if I got you on board before we troubled JJ...
C: OMG PIGLET!
JJ: *arrives*
C: She's called Abigail and we're bringing her home with us.
JJ: *blinks*. Um...?

So, apparently they're adopting the piglet. She's about 3 kilos now, shaky on her legs, and needs to be wrapped up in warm wooly things to stay warm enough, but will grow to Jabba-esque proportions. Apparently you can buy pig leads and take them for walks, as long as a vet approves the route. Dex is gonna have a new playmate, I think?? I will meet her tomorrow - expect photos.

That is AWESOME! They adopted a pig for Christmas. (In Sweden, we eat pigs for Christmas. *g*)

I will want photos!

(And it's good to hear from you! I'm going to drop out of touch again - still? - but, you know. Hi! ♥)

Er, apparently you're not the only one out of touch with your f-list...
Aaanyway. I'm glad you had fun on Christmas (lots of fun, apparently *g*). Plus, Eeee!, omg, piglet! Want photos!
