PIGGY, PIGGY,

These two girls are my nieces BURKELY andMCKINNA they have showed a pig at the County Fair since they were old enough.. They keep there pigs here at our house because their neighbors really wouldn't appreciate it (NO FARM ANIMALS). They come each day and take care of there pigs, water, feed watch there weight. and walk them when needed. This year Burkely's pig has had a bruised foot(rock), he is the LUNCH Gut of the two, he really does live up to his name PIG, and he is a bit stubborn when he should be walking. Mckinna's pig has been the better of the two and seemed to cooperate better, look more better (for show) and NOW he broke his hip a few days ago and had to be slaughtered before the stinkin show... We are so sad that this happened, but mostly sad because we know first hand how good these girls have been in taking care of there animals. We have heard that there are some kids that don't do much with there fair animals until the week before the fair..gggrrrrrrr I guess that is there loss of learning life lessons in taking responsibility of a project... Which these girls can take with them forever.
