Welcome Porky

By Creg

He's faster than you think.

 We recently added our newest member to Istre in the Making. A mini-potbelly pig, whom the kids named Porky. He was added to our farm so we could get a feeding permit from the government that allows us to continue receiving produce from a local grocery store.

We put him in Sailor's (Sierra's male Golden Retriever) pen and we had to put metal sheets all around the bottom because everywhere Porky could see out he tried to bust through. The trampoline is in his pen so he has plenty of shade and we make sure he has plenty of mud to cool off in.

He's been a big hit for the field trips that come to visit. They enjoy watching him push mud around with his nose & listening to his contented grunt.

P. S. We really like bacon.
