Celebrating

Did you hear that?

That was a huge sigh of relief uttered by 

Myrtle....

Missy...

and her daughter Nettie B.

Mating season is officially over.

All that is left are the months of waiting....

waiting for Spring's arrival and the return of (our favorite time of year) kidding season.

While the does are quite relieved,

poor Chip is quite unhappy.

He stands in his pen crying for the does.

Obviously mating season was not long enough for Chip.

Well, Chip, you only have to wait another year for the next one!

Unaware of males, mating, or things of that nature,

the pigs were in their pigpen, yesterday, trying on costumes for next week's Halloween party.

Ginger was trying on various outfits while MaryAnn critiqued them.

(Note MaryAnn sticking out her tongue in disapproval!)

Obviously, the witch's hat is not MaryAnn's favorite!

I think she objected to the green spider on the hat's brim.

Chloe, our donkey fashionista of course chose a hat with flowers.

"How about you, Daphne....

would you like to dress up too?"

Daphne: "Is there no end to the indignities you make us suffer?"

I guess Daphne will be attending our party as a donkey.
