When you take a pig for a walk…

ShareTweet you get a lot of looks. Ah yes, Norman, our very lovable pig, has taken walks all over Illinois. As one of our most popular show animals and one of the most requested animals, Norman leads a busy life. We have walked him on boulevards downtown Chicago and made stops to take him into inner city parks. People have stopped cars and gotten out to see him.

The Storms are Coming…

ShareTweet Now that the baby is in bed, the dishes are done, the dogs and pig have been out, the laundry has been put away, I have a chance to sit down and jump online while we still have power. We are expecting some big thunderstorms tonight so who knows if the power will go out. I haven’t posted in awhile as things have been so busy around here.

ShareTweet It’s not what you think. Really. Our morning started the same as usual today, the dogs woke up really early and I let them out into the backyard.

Not a Creature Was Stirring…

ShareTweet …except for a mouse! Yes it’s that time of night where it’s quiet all through the house. I make my last “rounds” to make sure all the lights are off, and to check the animals that are currently in the house. (the others are out in their own space – our converted garage – which is one huge animal room now complete with its own heat, AC and ventilation). Norman the pig is sound asleep already buried under a {Read More}
