pigs and little boys

Little boys and pigs have so much in common!  

To my surprise, I found a kindred spirit among the pigs too!

I am not one who normally sympathizes with animals, especially smelly ones, but I could not help but relate to this mother pig.  I saw her laying there with her head in the food trough while nine little piglets nursed on her.  And a moment later I heard a huge snort from another mother pig, telling her babies to BACK OFF as she flopped over onto her enormous belly.

Self, it could be worse!
