Brand New Piglet! or: Why I Should Try to be a Submissive Wife


There are two separate and distinct little piglets represented in these three photos.
When our new Gloucestershire Old Spot boar disembarked from the truck and ran to the center of Opal's ten piglets, Danny told me, "Be careful that you don't sell him by mistake this weekend."
I laughed and mocked him for a little while with the idea that I could never mix up the brand new purebred with my own, my precious, mixed breed piglets.
So, the top photo is one of the ten photos I snapped of one of Opal's piglets, thinking it was the new pig.
The bottom two are really and truly the new guy.
He's a "blue group" GOS. The breed is separated into four "color groups" to help keep inbreeding to a minimum.
FYI: it's hard to see well through a camera lens!

  1. Congratulations. I can't wait to hear more about him. What's his name?

  2. I'm waiting for that deep love I had for Garcia to develop for the new guy.
    His name is probably going to be "Casanova" after a breeding pig on a "Midsomer Murders" episode, or "Jamie."
