      Olivia lives in the next block over from us. My schnauzers haven’t quite figured her out yet.

    Cute pig. First think I thought of when I saw your title was Charlotte’s Web, I love that story.

    Oh! How adorable!

    One of these days I’m going to cross the state line and see your farm, or maybe you’ll come to Memphis, and we’ll do lunch. Or maybe not because that’s a dangerous offer on the internet? I mean, maybe you or I could be dirty old men disguised as a chicks. ๐Ÿ˜‰ In which case, we’ll play cards and smoke cigars. LOL!

    hi Tayla! Nice to meet you. Piggy and Doggie meeting is funnnnny. My doggie’s Momma is a mini-schnauzer and her Daddy is a cocker spaniel. Her mix is termed a Schnocker! Really! My bff raises the mini’s and her sis raises the cockers. My bff bought a cocker but didn’t fix him and he made my doggie by accident. But she is a fun accident. She is so dang cute and LOYAL, OMyGosh, LOYAL!!!!

    Thanks for hosting a linky and I’m sure we will see more of each other. Oh and btw, I am joining all of your possible sites, too.

    Looks like Annabelle is a Hog fan, too.=) Awesome pic, and the Charlotte’s Web reference is genius. And, after reading Renae’s post above, I couldn’t help but think what a cross between a schnauzer and a pig would be called…a schnig, perhaps?…or a pauzer?…I don’t know, but now I’m trying to get a visual of what a shnig or pauzer would look like, and so far, it ain’t too pretty.=)

      May 31, 2013 at 4:05 am

      Of course she’s a hog fan!

    How can i locate the blog about your friend who was on meth and managed to walk away from it? I have a nephew Jerry Peters who would be your 3rd cousin, his mother was my late sister Merlene. He has already spent 4 years in prison because of meth. He may be getting out soon and i am looking for any solutions i can to try and help him. Thanks, luv you.
