And as you guessed he didn't even care when I rescued a mama potbellied pig and four piglets. I was a PBP (Pot Bellied Pig) virgin. I knew nothing about PBP's except that I was not going to allow them to be sold as meat!!!! Now jump ahead four weeks and my little piggies are weaned and have moved inside. Yes, now along with Jedi, my great dane, I have four little piggies running around my house. Did I mention Jedi is obsessed with these piglets. He lays at their bedroom door and whines when he can't be in with them.
In two days it is Thanksgiving and I am going to have a house full of family, two grandchildren, one huge dog and four piglets underfoot. I think that I need my head examined!!!! Oh and to make matters worse Wil has been home sick since last Friday and with him being sick and me having a lot of flare ups with my health my house looks like a tornado has hit it! Calgon take me away!!!! Stress relief spanking needed here but no one healthy enough to do it! Oh did I mention I hate Thanksgiving???? I don't like turkey, I don't like football, I can't stand stuffing and you can keep all the pumpkin pies ever made! Do you catch a bit of stress in my post?
So that's how my week is going. This like everything else I will survive. After all come Friday it is officially Christmas season and I am a HUGE fan of Christmas!!!! It's even better now that we have grandkids but still it has always been my favorite time of year. So I will get through this. Make sure all are fed, the piglets are trained, that Jedi is spoiled and that Wil is on the mend. Then I will collapse on the couch, turn on the Christmas music and enjoy the happiest season of all!!!! Happy Thanksgiving everyone...maybe next year I will rescue a turkey!!!!
At one point I had 4 cats, 2 dogs, fifty seven fish, a snake, an iguana, 4 lovebirds, 2 parakeets , and a yellow headed amazon, and two school aged boys, all at the same time. So I am qualified to say, "Sister, you are crazy"!!!.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!
(oh, and leave the turkey rescue to the White House, they are miserable birds)

Oh my your house sounds like what we have had over the years. We have 3 boys so we have had the ferret, an iguana, birds, fish, cats, dogs, more cats and more dogs, more birds and now more fish. But I can honestly say we have never had pigs, have had goats and chickens though.
ReplyDeleteThanksgiving is not my favorite time of the year either, turkey is not my favorite meat either.
Hope Wil mends quickly and things go smooth for you.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Janet,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, breathe, girl. A veritable petting zoo, family coming, a house in disarray, a sick husband, and a distaste for traditional Thanksgiving food... Stress reigns supreme over there. If this weren't the worst traveling day of the year, I'd hop a flight, come out there and spank you myself! I feel for ya.

Janet,
ReplyDeleteYou will have to let us know how it all ends up. It sounds hilarious, children and little piggies. I bet you will laugh your head off tomorrow and that will be the best medicine for all of you.
Hugs,

Janet - Pigs? Really? Cool! I've heard they're very smart. Are you planning on keeping them or finding them another home? We love animals over here, but don't have quite that many. We currently spoil one smelly (but cute) hedgehog, one gorgeous beta fish, and a lovely retired greyhound. Hubby wants a Yorkie, and I want a second greyhound, but those will have to wait until living conditions and finances allow for them.
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping your Thanksgiving Day was full of laughter, relaxation, and non-stressful events!
