A few weekends ago, Jared and I were driving down to Perry, Florida and I saw a pig farm on the side of road! I'd never met any pigs before and I was so excited to touch and love them. There were maybe a half dozen adult females and a few dozen piglets playing in mud puddles and generally being adorable. The matriarch was a large black and white female who immediately charged the fence when I approached and sent all of the piglets scattering for cover. I was a little frightened by this, by which I mean that I think I peed a little. Pigs are HUGE! And REALLY scary when they charge and only a hog wire fence stands between you. :)
After a few minutes though, she relaxed a bit and all of the mamas and piglets came back out from hiding. She did keep a close eye on me and even picked a fight with another pig mama in what I can only assume was a display of her dominance. The pink pig mama below snuffled my hand and let me touch her (squeals of joy! From me, of course!), although her interest in me waned when she realized I didn't have an apple for her. She yawned (adorable) and then went back to the mudpits where she sneezed (even more adorable) as she flopped around, flinging mud everywhere.
