Myself, Kelsie and Brianne ( Kelsie is my co-worker and friend, and Brianne is her 3 y/o daughter ) went out to the Fraser Valley to visit my friend Jean, and her menagerie of critters.
The day began by driving past beautiful spaces, Brianne hogging the binoculars:
We stopped at a gas station, and I had to take this photo:
WTF right? Are there gas stations that do charge for air? Anywhere?
Or does this gas station know something we don't?? ACK! Are we going to eventually be charged for air, and this station is doing damage control of a sort? Blew my mind....
A few of the 12 Pot Belly pigs inside their HUGE outdoor *pen* just before Jean lets them out into a yard that still looks like a *human animal yard*....
Jean called them all out to the yard where she had a big bin of veggies and treats:
And then they went into the green green grass, and rooted for hazelnuts that were buried in the ground from last year.
Piglets are cautious, and awful damn cute
One of the piglets seems convinced that Jean's dog Charlie has stolen a carrot perhaps?
Streeeetch for that morsel!
Hey! Little girl! Do you have any more treats??
Sweet sweet babies....
This little piggy is convinced Jean has another treat....look at his gorgeous eye!
Well, hello there!!
Time for a belly rub! hehehehehe!
K, follow the leader back to your yard.....so cute!
Martin, the Alpaca.....is this a Mullet haircut?
What a handsome guy!
Charlie waiting for Brianne and Kelsie on the rise at the back of the property. ( a gorgeous spot to sit and contemplate life Jean! )
Jean also has another dog Sadie, that very closely resembles Charlie, and a wee Sheltie named Belle. Oh, and a cat named Allie. Her blog,"My Life With The Critters" is linked on the sidebar to your right....great blog Jean!
Scotch and Soda, the parents of the piglets ( Soda was pregnant at the time, which nobody knew ) came from a S.P.C.A. abuse/neglect situation which you can read about
HERE
It was a great day, lots of fun and interesting things were learned about and seen. Thanks for having us over Jean and crew!
You're very welcome - we enjoyed your visit. The pigs are always glad of company, because company means extra treats and a chance to play in the people-yard. Oh, and Fizzy says he's sorry he thought Brianna's finger was a carrot and he hopes it is all better now.
ReplyDeleteWhat an unbelievably high concentration of cuteness in both your post and that lovely yard. The pudgey piglets are just beyond cute. Thank you for sharing this. Wonderful
