Thats not a puppy.

We thought we were buying a small dog pup off the internet and this is what the shipper brought!  

Okay, not really... our neighbor/friend was out hiking around looking for some good bouldering problems and a sow(female pig) shot out from underneath an overhang.  Low and behold there were a bunch of these little pigs - pretty much newborns from what she could tell.  She took one. The next day she went back and took the rest - it did not appear the sow was going to return.  After getting them to drink milk from a bowl, castration and a bath (a week or so later) she gave us one.  His name is Freckles.  Barry's plans for him are bacon.  Cameron's plans for him are to teach him tricks and to sit... we shall.

Freckles is approx. 3 weeks old (I think).

Have you named him? Spot? Porchetta? Sausage? Papa Murphy's Hawaiian?
