Its Cold Out There

Hello Everyone!
Oscar has been busy visiting libraries and retirement facilities. Soon Oscar will have his very own web-site! We will try to make his site full of fun information for the piggy lover. We realized that there isn't a lot of help for our fellow piggy owners out there, so we are including care information and yes, even merchandise. Oscar is very excited to help his friends and their owners. If you interested in seeing Oscar or have an event you would like him to attend, please email us and we can fill you in on the details.

Ok, so on to todays events. One of the hardest things ever is to get a piggy outside when it is below zero. First piece of equipment, not to be selfish but...., ear protection. I'm sure our neighborhood is planning on reporting us for either animal cruelty or disturbing the piece. Either way, not good. Oscar woke up this morning more than ready to head outside for his morning ritual. A little trot over to the side of the yard and success. A number two. Great. But then it happened, he realized that it was really cold and with urgency he ran inside. Fine, but he wasn't really done. I let him warm up a bit and tried for round two.  I figured he would just run out and use the obscenely giant litter pan we created out of  a Rubbermaid under the bed storage box (new use for a Rubbermaid box......not sure that's what they intended) but no, he screamed a symphony of distress. He then ran down into the yard like a mad man and then flew up the porch stairs and proceeded to run back inside. We need some way to put little boots on his hooves. Idea for a new product! I don't think pigs were really meant to see and survive the winter. Now I must explain that Oscar is not asked to trudge through the snow. We have shoveled a crossword puzzle of paths for him and he wears a coat. Finally, after the third attempt, success!  They certainly go through depression when the snow falls and their whole routine is disturbed. Oscar spent the rest of the day resting. Stay warm everyone and keep your piggy toes covered.
