Xmas bacon

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.
