mrs c went out to feed the piggies today and bramble was missing

she was due to farrow but had been showing no signs

mrs c went to the arc and there she was laid flat out with 12 little ears just visible over her belly

she went on to have 3 more but one died

anyway mother and bairns all doing well

bracken is due next week and this is all very emotional

regards, paul

i agree!
I'm allergic to pork and pig products too, so i don't have to feel the residual guilt about eating the cuteness...
