Perhaps you have heard me talk about my infatuation with pigs before. Ever since the movie Babe came out when I was a little girl, I became a big pig enthusiast. I started collecting pig stuffed animals and beanie babies (which my mom took the liberty of donating when they sold my childhood home. It s cool, I m not bitter) And whenever we would visit farms I would beg to see the pigs! I love to watch them run around their pen, especially the babies. Here is a pig named Gertie that I bonded with on a farm in Vermont a few years ago. She was a nice lady.
