New Family Member - But Not For Long

Dimetre as a pup back in September

Niece Megan has adopted a pig to raise as part of her 4H project. Dimetre came into her life the end of August as just a piglet. Within a month, he was following her and responding to her commands.

Amid family jokes about bacon recipes and hog jowls, Megan has bravely continued to raise her buddy Dimetre to make him the best pig he can be, and of course the biggest.  His regular baths, complete with massages and hair conditioner leaves him glossy and refreshed, if not completely pampered.
He 'graduates' in February when he reaches over 200 lbs, no longer a lap pig.
Kudo's to Megs for having the most loved and well behaved pig in the school!
