We did pretty well. Got BOS with a partially-chewed Texel I only brought to pad the entry, LOL. I'm glad because he has two legs already and once he got barbered I figured that was it for his show career. I THINK that was a third leg.

BOB went to a little TSW sow I bred, who now lives in Ontario with ther new owner. Pretty cool!

In Teddies we didn't do anything exciting. My best sow who has been winning was too preg to show and my boar came in 2nd. I had a bunch of barely-juniors entered for lack of anything better to show and my cream roan boar won best junior so that's kind of cool. The judge called him "very promising." We'll see. I'm not crazy about cream roan but his roaning is very even and I can use that.

Lori Rogers of Big R Piggery has the cutest red roan sow with a freckled face that she NEEDS to give me!! She went BOS in Teddies.

Sold all my for sale pigs for now. I have one litter almost ready I need to put on my For Sale page, and maybe a sow or two I'll cull also.

I SO didn't want to drag my ass out to buy bedding today. I bought two bags of shavings at the show. So today I told myself, "Self, if you promise to buy wood pellets, I'll treat you to an ice cream cone." So I had the cone and headed for WalMart. Wally world has them for $5.39 a bag, compared to $5.99 at TSC and another store. I found a close parking spot, went in the "outdoor" section door, grabbed a flat cart, loaded up 10 bags, and paid at the checkout. Relatively painless, really. Checkout chick asked me if I needed a guy to unload them for me.

I said "well, I got them all on the damn cart by myself."

She said "well I'll call someone."

I said "fine, if he gets outside before I'm done loading them all, he can do the rest."

Needless to say I got them all in the cart and the cart returned and saw nary a soul. Then I went to the grocery store and blew $200 bucks but I "saved $30 today and get 50 cents off my gas." Then I unloaded it all and put it all away myself too. Ugh. Bedtime!
