The Blue Pig Never Dies!

Big Guy and I have had the joy of furry members of our family since early in our marriage. Like any new dog owner, we bought toys, beds, and special treats for every one of them.

The story today is about a blue plastic pig who has outlived every one of our dogs. The pig came into our lives in 1989. It became an outside toy for our first Weimaraner. We thought it was lost until we got our second Weimaraner who found it under a bush. The neighbors at the time even got into the game when they let their dog come over and he played with it.

Even Holly Doodle had time with it when we found it again under our barbeque pit. She had good taste as she sniffed it, huffed at its weakened state, and walked away.

The blue pig, like the “cat who came back the very next day,” has been found again. It has a new place of prominence in a cubby of our garage, overseeing the garden, waiting for a new dog to come out and play.
