Rose Stains...

forgive me for I have sinned...it has been three days since my last bit of nonsense...

**sigh**

busy three days too. At least I THINK it has been three days? Today IS the 13th right?

I think the biggest news is the trip to the Hinterlands ~ I've gone ahead and registered t3k (the third kid) in school up there ~ t1 and SIL are moving to Idaho, so I must needs get a place for the school year ~ do not know the feasiblity of such a thing, but I think I need to try. As long as I have sirius radio reception, snail mail for the netflix and internet access, I shall be okay.

LOL! I don't need my phone much anymore, it has become yet another thing to misplace. I think perhaps that once I live away from t2k I will use it more...

Now if only viggo would call... (please read this) ;)

Seems that Miss Piggy and Rose are all set to farrow, and Rose has decided that she does NOT want to farrow in her pen...

So, one night, SIL and T1k and visiting citified genetics researcher friend have to try to get Rose back into her pen.

Rose says, "No"

chase ensues. three normal sized humans chasing a three hundred pound pregnant pig around a one acre enclosure...

The horses line up on the fence, watching, snickering at the puny human efforts... they are busy taking bets on who is going to win this little rumble...

Each human now has a prodding tool ~ board to protect themselves, and a stick affair to poke.

thirty minutes into the fight, the humans are tired...

Rose is tired...

Rose gets angry when she is tired, and doesn't care who knows it.

Rose growls at the humans, challenging their puny efforts to cage her. She is PIG, hear her ROAR...

thirty minutes later, after many laps by pig and human around the field, the horses, bored, begin grazing about...still watching to see who wins the bets...

Rose, tired, and REALLY angry now, begins to drool...

**growl, drool, growl, drool**

Then Rose makes a mistake. She stops to rest in the entry to the pen. SIL grabs the fence, and literally bends it around her. (wire affair)

Rose, undaunted, hooks her nose under the panel and flips it, and SIL into the mud and other things that would make Mike Rowe very happy...

**growl, drool, sling drool all over the place**

T1k and citified genetics researcher friend laugh very very hard...

SIL vows to win... chases growling drooling spitslinger pig all over field...by himself.

T1k and citified genetics researcher friend laugh very very very hard...

Rose makes second mistake. She again stops within the bent fence.

SIL hooks the fence (no idea how) and stomps the lower edge into the mud/pig poo.

Citified genetics researcher friend has a flash of brilliance, and throws her board over the top of Rose.

Rose stops, and goes "OH!" ...

Citified genetics researcher friend, wondering what Rose is doing, lifts board... staring into little beady eyes of growling, drooling, spitslinging pig, she slams the board back down...

Rose tries everything after that.

Through the fence, under the fence, anywhere but IN her pen...growling, drooling, slinging spit everywhere.

after 90 minutes, the humans win ~ well, relatively speaking.

Pig Poo stains are hard to get out of clothing.
