Great shot. I like how the pig is limbering up for the big race! Happy WW
That pig is luxuriating in his “piggyness”! What a great picture!
Not exactly Mr. Motivation, is he?
Simply adorable. A giant, sleepy pig. Exactly what I love about the fair and I missed it this year, so thank you for letting me feel a bit of it through your picture!
totally reminds me of visiting the Iowa State Fair one summer and seeing Hogzilla, the largest hog at the fair. He was immense! Right outside was the “Giant Pork Chop on a Stick” booth – I found that funny
Aw, so cute! Something about pigs makes me just want to hug them…but I never have
Hope he/she did well after that rest!
Happy WW
This brings back memories of my great grandfather as he used to raise and show Black Poland China Hogs…talk about big animals and at times mean! thanks for stopping by my WW and hope you stop by again soon!
Great shot. Pigs kind of scare me, but I’ll refrain from making any bacon jokes.
I told my boys to read your blog post and they truly thanked me! Keep up the excellent blogging!!!
