[Gpdd] [ANNOUNCE] Six again

[DL1Bossfan at aol.com]

Hi Friends:
There once was a movie called "With 6 You Get Eggroll".  I don't know  how 
that applys to my situation, but now I have 6 piggies - again.  Kind of  long 
story short:  Went to PetSmart to get piggy food after work last week  - they 
were out of power.  Tried local (icon) feed store that has been here  for a 
gazillion years, and they had gone out of business - (overnight?! - I had  been in 
there just 5 days prior & nothing was said!).  So, proceded  down the street 
thinking "oh poop" - now I have to go to the next town, when I  remembered 
that there was another local pet store down that street.  The  street has been 
under heavy construction (our town has the monopoly on  those orange coney 
things!), so many people had been avoiding the area as much  as possible.  Well, 
the pet store was closing - everything was marked down  50 to 75% off.  There 
were two dogs in there and several piggies.  The  piggies were selling for 
$4.95.  There were several people in there buying  piggies - all looked okay - so I 
stood around got some bedding and played with  several of the piggies, 
secretly checking their situation out.  All of a  sudden, something caught my eye.  
They had set a little boy off by  himself in a small aqaurium thing.  When I 
asked about him and they said he  was fighting with the others - well, duh! - 
he had been right next to several of  the females!  Anyway, I petted him and 
talked to him for a while and then  left - as I had other errands to do.  That 
is where that other thing steps  in to the mind, call it what you want - God 
talking to me - a conscience, who  knows - I just could not stop thinking about 
him!  All of a  sudden it hit me - oh dear me, piggies marked down that low 
can quickly  become something's dinner!  So, the next day - back I go.  I got  
piggy, water bottle, holder, aspen bedding, and 5 pounds of pellets (that he 
was  on - I'll slowly get him off of that junky brand) - all for $13.95.
Warning folks - piggies are at least $30.00 (here anyway) - so if you see  
them for less, be aware.  They could be sold for other purposes than to  have a 
loving home. (In defense of the store - I do not think they had that  
knowledge).  Anyway - so now I have a little, very sweet, solid  black (except for a 
very small patch of tan) boy in my life again.  He is a  guestimated year old.  
He is in a seperate cage for now - but will be  introduced to the others in 
about a week or so.  He is healthy - and oh, so  sweet - and very active!  His 
name is:  Houdini  - I have posted too long - so the story about how he got 
his name will come  later.  Now, I guess with 6 I have eggroll - -or a larger 
fresh hay  and veggie bill - or....  Well, he is safe and is very loved.
Happy Holidays - Donna - Huck, Becky, Thatcher, Big Jim, Aunt Polly,  and 
Houdini
