francesco & sylvester

i have two new piglets in the shed behind my house. francesco and sylvester. their mother is quite young and not producing enough milk for all of her babies. so some get left behind. and that is where i swoop in and bring them to the shed for warm milk and yogurt and a heat lamp to keep them toasty. sylvester had a couple of rough first nights. one with me cradling him on the couch in front of the woodstove while he trembled and wouldn't eat. but they are doing really quite well now. and i'm happy as can be. i love having little piglets in the house again.
