I have wonderfully exciting news to share, which is that I have met a small pig named Hiram. This is Hiram:
I met Hiram because I have been riding a horse named Rusty once a week. I am a former Horse Girl and was introduced to Rusty via my college job board, where her owner was seeking out volunteers to come be friends with her. This is Rusty:
I was riding Rusty in the pasture and suddenly she would not stop staring at something on the other side of the fence. We went over to investigate and the thing she was staring at was a little pig with splotches. She was so enthralled that the ride immediately became over.
Rusty tried to make friends with Hiram but he was not interested. I wanted to give Hiram some scritches but he was also not interested in those, which I respect. We were lucky simply to be in his presence.
