Re: pic: Paul And The Pig
I just got a Suzy Q pig update from my friend.
Suzy Q is now living at a house with 8 acres of land, as I mentioned previously. 4 kids are in the family, with the oldest being 10. Suzy Q runs around with the 2 farm dogs, and now does not mind being picked up by the kids. She has become "one of the dogs", and follows them around the property. She already knows where to get water and food, and even relieves herself in the same spot.
She knows her name, and comes when she is called. The new owner says that she is smarter than any dog he has seen at her age. He is saying that it may be interesting to bring Suzy Q back to IRI next year so everyone can see how she has grown. By that time, she would probably weigh over 250 pounds... but I am not sure since she spends all day running around with the dogs. She may gain weight at a slower rate than a regular feeder pig, which is confined to a 10x20 pigpen.
I've asked for pictures of Suzy Q with the 2 dogs. They cuddle. I think that this will be a continuing story.
