Cows, camels, horses are made for riding, pigs are not. A hard lesson my mom learned. We were out trying to get the pigs back into their pen. Pigs are terrible about getting out, they love to rout under the fences or just break them down. We had them going the direction we wanted when all at once one of the old sows took off right towards mom. She was yelling and waving and the ole sow did not even slow down.
My dad yelled “kick her in the nose”
Mom kicked! Whoops she missed and the pig ran right between her legs with one leg up in the air. The sow was to big to fit under there so she took mom right with her. Her was mom on the back of the pig facing south while the pig was running north and both of them squealing so loud you couldn’t hear anything else.
Down the road they go, both still squealing at the top of their lungs. I am not sure who was the most surprised. Mom finally slide off the side but by that time the rest of us were rolling around on the ground laughing so hard all the pigs were running every which way.
The money I would have paid for a video in those good ole days…..
Nobody was hurt, the pigs were gathered back up and put back in the pen. Not a one of us can think of this story without laughing, well except for mom, her pride is still hurt….lol
