Three Little Pigs

No, there's no big bad wolf.

 But we do now have three little pigs named Toot, Puddle and Snuggle.
I wonder if other people do this.  We've once again named our pigs after characters in picture books.

While all the kids enjoy feeding the pigs, it is primarily Easton's responsibility to daily carry them their corn, feed, slop, and water.

He also bears the ultimate responsibility of making sure both latches are securely fastened so the pigs won't escape their building.

 Sometimes he is generous enough to share the joys of scooping. . .

 and carrying the feed. . .

 and pouring food. . .

 into the appropriate dish.

Alan's initial reason for getting the pigs was so he didn't feel so wasteful by simply disposing of our scraps.  We have a compost pile started, but that's just not as beneficial in his mind as fattening hogs for the freezer.  I'm not going to complain when I'm eating all that yummy sausage and pork chops.
