Is this what I signed up for?!

We are pig-sitting, yes you heard right, PIG! Shane's parents went out of town for a couple of days, which means we are in charge of ALL ranch duties. This includes watching the baby pig that Tamy saved a couple of weeks ago. His name if Tuff because he was "tough" and survived the cold when his 10 other brothers and sisters didn't. He has been living in her house in a tuperware box. However, just my luck, he has discovered how to jump out of his box since he has been staying with us:)

We were in the laundry room (which is where his little box is) putting on our coats and boots this morning when he launched out of his box! I screamed and Kolby cried:) I think my screaming scared him more than the pig jumping out of his box, oops! We were headed out to feed the calf that we are also taking care of so I put him back and was hoping he would stay in until we could get back and figure out something different.

When we returned from feeding the calf breakfast, Tuff was still in his box. When he saw us though he started jumping and squeeling like crazy and got out again. I decided to take all of our shoes out of the laundry room so he could wander around without getting into too much trouble. I gave him a towel to lay on and shut the door. Seriously he eats sooooooo much! I guess the saying "eats like a pig" is totally true, and he can down a bottle in less than 2 minutes. It hasn't been too bad. The kids are enjoying him and beg to let him out of the laundry room. He is very friendly. They can't stand to go in there to pet him because it stinks really bad!

Here are some pictures of the kids helping me out with the little rascles! Sometimes I really can't believe that this is my life:) But, I do have to admit that I love it. Pig poop and all:)
