Day 231: I caught the pig! It’s in my back yard right now!
I was eating a carrot at lunch, between sand-gathering dives, and the pig walked right up to me as if to say, “Hello, human, may I partake of your carrot?”
So of course I lured it right into my fenced in yard with the carrot… and yes, I also gave it a carrot, which made it grunt happily.
It grunts a lot and seems to be able to balance on the top of the fence using its head, which is a bit disturbing. But I’m pretty sure it can’t escape.
I’m dreaming of bacon and pork chops and more bacon and pork tenderloin…
and then I’m realizing this pig weighs a fat ton and should I decide to butcher it, I’m going to be carrying a lot of pig up and down the steps into the cold cellar below my main living space.
Plus, the pig is kind of cute and if I’m not careful I’m going to name it and then I won’t want to eat it anymore.
Sand harvesting continue apace.
