Yeah... That part stinks, lol. But I am happy it's not worse. The dentist was like... Did someone here do this filling? I told him no and he looked relieved haha, but didn't comment beyond that.

Lol well I suppose it wouldn't be very professional if he did. I used to inherit kids who moved into our school district and look at their IEPs and go.... Wow I'm rewriting this ASAP. many times I wanted to say something... I (usually) didn't. I did master the art of getting the point across without saying it though!

Well my straight run Dorkings... 5 cockerels, 2 pullets
:th

Good thing we wanted some cockerels to eat. But a few less would have been ok!

My husband went with this "friend" (ish) ot his to go pick up a few piglets from a farm near us. My husband is still really upset at the way these pigs are taken care of (or not). They live in a barn with no outdoor access, tight quarters. We would never support the guy, nice looking pigs or not. And the dude paid $100/piglet! We get ours for $75 in the spring and $40 in the fall. Heck we got 2 free piglets last fall!

WEll, of course! That is the way it seems to go....sheeesh!

That stinks that those pigs aren't getting good care. I can't imagine my pigs living in a barn and not running in the pasture. They LOVE it! They have two ponds to choose from. In fact, I'm fairly sure that the gals are gonna give birth at the back pond. It's a much smaller pond that's surrounded by trees and shrubs (that the goats keep pretty well trimmed). Of course, they could surprise me and come give birth in the barn...who knows?
