* (Super-fun horsey stick art!!)

[JSwan]

I’m sorry guys!!! He had a really really great life - honestly! I’m glad y’all enjoyed the stories about him - but pigs being pigs - there was only one way the story could end. I put it off as long as I could - all winter I kept saying - oh - he’ll stop growing. He’ll not go after the pygmy goat again. Oh - he’ll won’t pin me again. He wasn’t mean - he was just being a pig!

But rest assured - there was no long trailer ride, no feed lot, no stress, nothing but a quick nap in the horse trailer (he actually did fall asleep), and I personally escorted him into his pen at the destination. (I set an appointment) Very very super clean place, friendly staff, family run, and honestly - every animal deserves as quick an end as Kevin - and after a life full of sunshine, grass and their very own pool. He really was a lucky pig who had a much longer life, and a healthier and better one, than his original home would have provided him.

Unfortunately, I am also raising chickens, and not all of them are layers. I will refrain from telling stories about the chickens and horses if it bothers you to find out I had the chickens for dinner!

What!!! Kevin Bacon is now…well, bacon? That would be too sad.

OK, here are more Tessa baby photos. She is now 5 weeks old.

This first one is the funniest…such attitude.

I am still not 100% convinced that momma is saddlebred. I think a little standardbred blood runs in her veins.[/QUOTE]

She’s beautiful and so sorry about your rescue…

Well, being pragmatic here.

At least did Kevin taste good?

[RydArab]

Rip Kevin. You’ll be forever remembered here on CoTH, if not for a while on JSwan’s dinner table. It sounds like a fair and humane end for pig of Kevin’s notoriety & caliber. Now he is truly a heavenly ham.:yes:

[Amwrider]

Maybe the ghost of Kevin can drop in on some stories. Hmm, do I smell bacon?

AMW - I am sorry about your resue horse…I just skimmed the post last night and didn’t realize that the horse had died, I just thought it was cast. I regret that I seemed insensitive. :no:

I didn’t think that at all! Justin had a nice Florida retirement after serving the Amish for 17 years. He was only here for a couple of months being fostered. He looked like his life had been a rough one, not abused or neglected though, just worked hard. He was a handsome dude though.

RIP Justin T

I didn’t get it at first. Hi SEP!

Tessa’s momma, Sophie, is a rescue also. I adopted her in October and didn’t know she was PG until a couple of weeks before Tessa was born.

Tessa is quite the diva. This is her with her staff:

and thanks…

JSwan I understand… and especially about the goats and goat berries:lol::lol:My horsie’s witness relocation home has goats and chickens and 1 steer named “Dinner” :lol: I help my friend milk her goats in the morning and matching the mamma’s with their babies when they are done… I am convinced there is nothing much louder than a hungry pissed off baby goat:yes: And I have noticed that the goats can run not only on the ground but across the walls of their stalls if they get going fast enough.:yes: My friend also has chickens that grace the dinner table as well if they aren’t laying their share. Kevin can live on in stick art land where he will be forever svelt and with his old cherub like demeanor:lol::lol:

Tessa and her staff is the best pix yet. Very very cute, all of them!

Living as close to New Holland as I do, I have rescues too. I love them and they’re fabulous horses for me

[QUOTE=Amwrider;3124972]I didn’t get it at first. Hi SEP!

That doesn’t surprize me. My user name should be nonsequitur Although if you work really hard there’s usually some link to be found (I think)

You know, I haven’t checked this thread for -literally- months, and yet, here’s Perch X, still knocking them out of the park, D bit and all.

I have a 5 hour airport layover next month, and I’m already planning to use the time to catch up on this thread!! :lol:
