To Steal This Piglet ?

[AnneWiddecomesArse]

I've been on a few bike rides with DD and we pass a small farm with a sow and nine little piglets. We've started to take chopped apples for them etc.
Anyway there is this tiny piggy who is obviously the runt. He's the tiniest and gets bullied by the other piglets; and the sow is rather rough/callous with him.
We have a real connection; I just feel it in my water. He looks me straight in the eye and we have empathy.
Can I nick him, stick him in my back pack and keep him ?

I'd post money to the farm after the escape.

What did DH say? You must have the piggy now, update please?

Nicking a tester eyeshadow from superdrug is wrong but nicking a pig is right??? you lot make me laff

[DaisySteiner]

I hope you're going to be breastfeeding

[HoneyNorwegianRidgebackdragon]

Please Mr Arse, embrace Squirt the piglet, pleeease.

[AnneWiddecomesArse]

It'd take more than a little squirt to come between us.
But it will have to handled carefully. So I've made him a cup of tea and have volunteered to cook.
He's on edge.

Just got out of my 6pm meeting. Ummmph.Knackered.
He is a little boy pig.
Am slightly overwhelmed with responsibility now. I know nothing about pigs.
DH has just rolled up. I'm waiting for the right moment. He was pretty cross about all the hamsters.

Precious First Piglet!

Is the piggy one a boy pig? Do we have the possible commencement of a piggy dynasty?

[StayingNearlyHeadlessNicksGirl]

Are you going to be doing PLW (Piglet Led Weaning)? And we will need photos of the new addition to the AWA family. You could read Charlotte's Web to it at bedtimes!

[HoneyNorwegianRidgebackdragon]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!!!!

She got the pig, and legitimately got the pig too!



are you going back to Argos to pay for your pencils now?

[NorksAreMessy]

Hooray.
I don't know, I just pop off to work and come back and there you are, set up with your very own laundry folding piglet.

Welcome, Squirt, welcome to MumsNet

[TheOriginalFAB]

Congratulations on your new arrival. I hope you don't get too many sleepless nights or have to get up to do too many night feeds.

[Bunsouttheoven]

Just don't take your maternal feelings for piglet too far, have you not seen League of Gentleman?

[AtYourCervix]

Oh Oh Oh Luckeeeee. what will you call him? Wilber? Johnnie?

[AtYourCervix]

Have you read The Peppermint Pig?

28th? great day for a baby to arrive!!! (incl me )

Happy Pig Ownering AnneWiddecombesArse!

[MortaIWombat]

Congratulations on your piglet.

[MsChanandlerBong]

Maybe it is fortuitous that you fell off your bike... I think sorting things out with the farmer legitimately is far better than stealing off with the piglet on the back of your bike in the dead of night!

Now can we start a thread about how horrible it is when pig owners let their pets foul on the streets and not pick it up? Can we? Please?!

[Bumpsadaisie]

Are you going to leave him with his mother though? He isn't weaned yet is he?

[AnneWiddecomesArse]

I can't eat him. Ever.
Next door is helping me set up a paddock for him; he's called Squirt. We're collecting him week on Thursday

I don't need any other licences; my land is already registered as Agricultural. I don't need licences as the piglet is being transported within Parish boundaries. But I need to double check this.

I don't buy piglets willie nillie; I've seen a lot of piglets in my time. But this one was different.

[LaurieFairyCake]

Fanatstic!

George Clooney had a pig called Max - it's treated just like a dog and poos outside and is completely trained.

Picture of piggy please
