ending. He knows full well that we
are a pushover for such needy
cases.
Weighing m at two weeks at just
a few pounds, and less than a foot
long each, the two pink piglets
were installed by the junior pig
farmer recipient in a cozy card
board box, bedded to the hilt with
several inches of shiny, warm
barley straw.
Then, the new owner proceeded
to park this enterprise in the
middle of the kitchen floor.
“Whoa!” bellowed the kitchen
overseer. “No pigs in my kit
chen!”
So they were moved to the office
instead, parked a squeal’s length
from the desk and typewriter
(which is again working, by the
way).
He dutifully cared for his new
charges with loving attention. But
late night grunting hunger pains
reached the ears only of Mom and
Dad, since the big promoter was
sound asleep. Surely you can guess
to whom the pig feeding task fell.

first a bottle earned me a screech
in the ear so loud the neighbors
must surely have suspected foul
play taking place within the old
farm house.
Joy of joys, the piglets could
follow their instinct to slurp warm
milk from a bowl, snorting,
shoving and stomping through
their meal, then flopping near to
each other in the comer and
closing their eyes with a grunt of
contentment.
By the next morning, the larger
of the pair discovered she could
heave-ho out over the comer of the
box, resulting in a move of the
piglets to a larger metal pen and
days spent out in the warm Oc
tober sunshine.
Alas, the pair still returns to the
warmth of the basement each
evening, bedded daily with fresh
smelling new straw and set on a

piece of heavy plastic. While the
farmer makes his final late-night
round of feeding the cows, I tuck in
the piglets with their warm milk
and fluffed up straw bed.
Amazingly, there is little odor,
only noticeable when the bedding
is disturbed - which is the only
reason they still return to the
basement each evening. In fact.
I’ve met a few more domestic pets
whose odor far surpasses that of
these little porkers.
This situation does call to mind
however, a number of times I have
stood, hands on hips with disgust
and surveyed the melange of
clothing, shoes, magazines, toys,
books, and other miscellaneous
strewn-about bits of daily living
residue while grumbling, “This
place looks like a pigpen.”
Another prophecy fulfilled.
