New Family Member!


My husband and I decided this year that we did not want to have any more kids. We thought about it LONG and hard, believe me!  It just was not the right choice for us.  Our two beautiful children fill our lives with so much happiness, and we are blessed, but we reasoned that we have each "reproduced ourselves once.  So when we are gone, we will not be contributing to overpopulation.  Plus, our whole lives revolve around having two kids!!!!  What I have ALWAYS wanted, though, is a miniature potbellied pig.  So my husband took me and the kids out to visit a farm that had a litter of piglets that they could not keep.  And we left with one!!  I have to say, he is a wonderful pet, although it is a lot like having a puppy.  This might be a true testament to the vegan lifestyle, though.  We talked to the kids about befriending and loving a creature that most people just think of a "bacon".  I will give updates on the progress of our little Oliver, cause he is just so darn cute!!!
