Mrs Merkel goes to Moses

 She's been indoors waiting for a couple of weeks - she got pretty fed up too cos she didn't know what she was indoors for. After leading Linda a merry dance down from the woods a while back, she just looked at us and rumbled and grumbled and patiently lay there looking at us.... we tried to explain to her that it was 'all in a good cause' and 'sooner or later' all would become clear. Mrs Merkel just believed us and lay in wait.................... We didn't mind; whilst she was in we got to know her better. We already knew she was a good looking sow and we knew she could be a good mum..... her first litter was possibly the healthiest, bonniest bunch we have had in 7 years.... she kept them indoors for almost 2 weeks - but when they were allowed out they soon made up for lost time ....  quickly becoming the top bosses of the three litters running around at the time........
When the call came that Moses needed a new wife we had little hesitation in suggesting Mrs Merkel....  He left us not long after he was weaned .... we remember him as a handsome, gentle ginger hog..... Apparently he is now a handsome, gentle, dark coloured boar...In need of a new lady. She and he will start a new dynasty.... Accordingly she will be renamed Ruth..... She's in pig to Black Banana at the moment, but after she's farrowed and weaned she will be introduced to her new beau.

They'll get on well and she'll have a good life in the not-too-wilds of Notts near Newark! We shall miss her but she's gone to a good place where she'll be very contented...... aaahhhhh.   She'll fel at home in no time at all....... supposing pigs think like that...... Moses and Ruth - what a lovely couple.....
