Today, Monday, we headed back to TN but we had another passenger in the Dawg Yacht. I called him William....
William is an American Guinea Hog bred by my friend Karen Lyons of Woodrose Cardigans. Karen sold him to a lovely family down here in TN but he needed a ride to get to his new home. Thus began Operation Pig Drop.
I picked William (Ok, that wasn't his name, he didn't have a name. I just needed to call him something!) early this morning. His mother, Ethel, was not in the least bit concerned that her baby boy was being stuffed in a crate in a car with a couple of dogs and driven hundreds of miles away from her. William wasn't too concerned either. There was a bit of grunting but then he settled down, burrowed into his nest of hay and slept the entire trip to TN.
I met his new family at a gas station just off of I40, we put him into their crate, and off he went to meet his new bride, Lucy.
I don't think I'll be adding 'pig hauler' to my resume but, you never know.....
