This Little Piggy Went to Market

This little piggy went to market!
Pigs fascinate me. I could watch them for hours. They love to snout their way under fences to find roots, snout holes to fill with urine (to make mud to wallow in), and generally use their snout as a tool as well as to sniff with. I have seen them pee while other pigs drink it, and eat about everything in sight. Local ones eat everything dumped into their pen, including garden rubbish. Certainly nothing within their reach remains for more than a few seconds. As recyclers they are supreme — not a thing is wasted. Not only do they eat everything, every bit of them gets used when their time is up.
The small ‘pretty’ breeds are great, not that I would consider one as a pet but they appear to be fairly intelligent. I would find it difficult to cuddle a little pig knowing it was destined for market. This little spotty pig followed us along a lane until it could go no further — what a friendly creature!
