First Show of the New Season

Went down to Cashiers NC this weekend- in the southern mountains of NC- for the first two pig shows of the new season. I won both of them! Yippee! With white Americans. Next show is the double at the TN State Fair over in Nashville, so if any of you all live close, come see us Sept 6, in the goat building. They are flying in a judge from California for us, should be good fun. The mountains were wonderful, about 15 degrees cooler than here- it was delicious. I will write more later when I am not so tired and the work is caught up.

we took mandolin to the pet store and she loved looking at the pigs there. A man tried to sell us one and i laughed at the $38 price. We don't have the time or energy for a pig right now, but if we did, I wouldn't be paying $38. Mandolin also likes looking at fish. Yesterday we went to Bass Pro Shop and they have a massive tank there, like at the aquarium, and we spent 20 minutes just looking at the big big fish.

Jilly- what I would recommend is going to or calling your local animal shelter or humane society if you ever get in the market for a pig again. They often have surrenders there for adoption. They will sometimes have adoption fees, but that's OK. It helps support the facility.

sheila,

i don't mind paying a fee to a shelter, but i have qualms paying a petstore, they haven't shown great ethics in the past.
