Pigs

Swines, Swinettes, and Swinitos

I like pigs.  I’ve known a great number of them in my life – some good, some bad, some dangerous – but on the whole, I find a great deal to recommend them.  I certainly find pigs less tedious than some of those pre-shrunk, permanently vibrating, ankle tall, remote control toilet brushes that some people actually refer to as dogs.  Pigs – and when I speak of them, I exclude that pot-bellied Asian variety of house pet – are bright, sensitive animals who care diligently for their young, are neat and clean if allowed to be, and will develop relationships with humans based on trust and understanding.  Tuffy, for instance.
