Re: Critters : pig proofing

["GESA BRINKS" <gesaeqfx@pe.net>]

I have a potbellied pig at home that runs around the property a couple times
a day.  I wondered if she actually helped to pig proof my horses.  I got my
answer today.  I was riding to the staging area of a local trail ride and
had to ride by a place that started raising pigs.  I hadnt been by there in
quite sometime.  As I rode up to the farm I noticed a few hogs standing and
several laying down sleeping.  I guess one of the sleepers woke up cuz all
of a sudden about 15 porkers jumped up and ran across the field.  These were
the big white kind with the large floppy ears.  Clovis stopped and watched
them run.  She wasnt too sure what she should do.  I started laughing and
patted her on the neck.  She just kept one eye on them and walked on by.
Geeez was I glad that they didnt do that Imu thing and run towards her!!  On
the way home from the ride, I came around a corner and was facing down the
barrel of a rifle.  Our new neighbors decided to throw cans up into the air
and see if they could shoot them before they hit the ground.  I let out a
yell and startled the heck out of the two men.
I really hate it when stupid people play with guns.  Oh well.  How was you
alls day.  Good I hope.  :-)    gesa n clovis
