Check out the above photo (click on it for a larger view), I always thought we raised and trained Australian Shepherds to work the livestock, but obviously our pigs have been "listening in" on the lessons...that's our 4 year old boar herding the sheep around! He had a ball working them all over the barnyard and doing a darn good job of it too! :-)

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty & well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, & loudly proclaiming "Wow - what a Ride!"                                                                                               ~ ~ Peter Sage
