Rasher became quite famous as a blogger and a twitterer and had built up quite a following. She was also in the Sunday Independent but sadly she didn't get to see it. You can read about Rasher here.
Sausage was the first to leave. I never met her but Rasher told me she used to bully her terribly and eat all her food. When I came along Rasher tried to bully me but I'm tough. I had to be, I came from a family of nine. And believe me it was dog eat dog when it came to feeding time.
Then just before Rasher left, herself arrived with the two little runts. She said afterwards never mind a "pig in a poke", she was sold two pokes. They are Irish Grazer or Tamworths but to look at them you would just see pot-bellied scabs. Now that they are here with me and getting lots of lovely barley, oats, potatoes and cabbages they are starting to look a bit better. I don't bully them as much but they make me angry eating my potatoes and we have a bit of a scrap.
Because they are runty herself comes down every evening to close the door and she has given us a big deep bed of straw. We do NOT like being disturbed too early in the morning. We think herself has finally got the message and stopped arriving down while it is still dark. We think that Honest2Goodness market was to blame for that.
So anyway it will be a while before any of us little piggies go to market. We are looking forward to the spring when herself says she is going to move us to a nicer, less mucky place. She says there is no point now while it is wet all the time and cold, she forgot the cold. We do not like going out in it anyway.
We have to think of good names for the two little runts. We can't keep calling them that. But honestly Pinky and Perky and Sacco and Vanzetti have been some of the suggestions so far. Please advise herself sensibly because I'm not going to be a little pig forever.
