Never let your dog watch movies

We got new pigs today. This is a festive occasion at our house each time it happens. And we have learned to record their cute piglet-ness right away, because pigs don't stay little and cute long.
Plus, well, we had one run away all the way to Tishomingo State Park, and we only recovered it because my daughter had taken pictures of them, and showed friends (including the park manager's daughter) at school.

These are particularly nice pigs, we are all in agreement. Dear husband said they are of the breed "Duroc," which is an old American breed and pretty popular according to the online information. But we have never seen red pigs, so we are thrilled.
You know us, anything old... we love it.

They are quite friendly, though clearly a little camera shy, which they will soon get over, around here!

We don't have names yet, but one of them might become "Tickle" because she (they are both girls - but not sows, yet... its another word...) makes the cutest little squeal when you scratch behind her ears.

My suggestions are "Yummy" and "Porkie," but Emma did not agree.

Sadie, the Wonder Dog, is thrilled with the pigs, too.

She's already trying her powers of persuasion on them.

Or maybe she's just staring them down, warning them of their fate should they escape.
In thier defense, they really are not scared of her.

I'm thinking she may be trying to teach them everything she knows about herding.

I knew we shouldn't have let her watch "Babe" over and over like she did. She thinks she so smart just because she plays chess....
