Default :Trick Pig:

Had a-nutter VA appt.yesterday morning but carved this pig from another piece of the old pine ironing board legs before I left. Had to dot her eyes and noise this morning.

Shes a very special pig,I named her Sam. But I have two dogs,I also named them Sam too plus my wifes cat,I re-named her Sam. Makes it easy for me to member ther names.

This little pig can stand on her hine feet,she can stand on her head,she can lay on her back and play dead. I taught her all this this morning.{Shes smart}

Shes 7/8's ,tall at 5/8 's wide and long at 1 1/4 inches. Ive got to carve a few corn on the cobs now but I hope you like her.She told me,I can do sum more tricks if I get to eats sum-thang.{ shes kinda tongue tie'd}


Thks Sam{Forrest}

PS the new meds is either not working or working too good!! U-know!

Hey Sam,
That's one smart pig, named Sam.
Sounds like you got some good meds.
Say hi to your dogs, Sam & Sam. Oh, and the cat too, Sam.
Thanks for sharing.

Sam (I mean Randy). Now you've got me doin' it!

Hey Sam,I mean Randy! You can call me anything,I've always said but dont forget to call me for supper!! The main thing too,DONT ever do this,roll over at night and tell you wife night and I love you Jane or Alice,etc,etc!! Darling is a safe word!! But so happens I love my wife and I "know" her name. She tat-too-'d it on my forehead backwards?? So when I look into the mirro every morning it comes out right. What a woman & lady.She makes me live.I can chew on some wood and she will say,thats neat,I like it!!

Thanks again sam? Ok ok,Randy! lol

Sam~

Sam sure is a cute pig, and with tricks like those, she will be headlining her own shows soon. Can't wait to see what she comes up with after some corn.

Eric,You are so right!! Im thinking I might start a TV show like America Got Talent but its called "America Bring Your Pigs With Tricks" or "Who Poop'd on the Floor Again" Thinking about carving a chicken to ride on her back and when shes on TV,the act will be called,heres Bacon & Eggs.

Thks Eric for your neat thoughts.
