Piggies and Rabbits and Car wrecks, Oh my!

What's been happening around here?! Bug is going to raise a pig for the county fair this summer. So Tuesday night, Ben took Doodle and Roo with him to go buy some pigglets. Bug has done a great job taking care of them so far. He has 2 of them- (in case one doesn't make weight or whatever, we have a backup- also we will just slaughter one of them to keep our freezer full) So here are Hammy and Bacon (fitting names don't you think!?)

Well, of course since Bug is raising Pigs for the Fair, Ben decided that Doodle should raise some rabbits for the fair- so yesterday he picked up "Roger" and "Cadburry".
Ok- so it's just Roger- Cadburry escaped and is hiding under the front porch, and we haven't been able to catch him yet.
Oh yes- and the last part of the title is Car Wrecks. Ben and Doodle were in a car accident last night, a semi pulled out in front of them and another car, the other car swerved to miss the semi and hit Ben and Doodle head on instead. Counting my blessings that no one was hurt. I think it scared Doodle pretty good- though he won't admit to being scared of anything. But the car unfortunately is not fixable, it's totaled. Yes- that is the "new" car we just got 2 weeks ago.
