Where will Pork Chop Go?

Well, the stock show is over. It was a busy 3 days. In the end, Presley made the sale and Little Pork Chop was sold. Her Mom and Dad had a hard time last night explaining to a 7 year old that Pork Chop wouldn't be coming home with them. The hardest part is telling her where he's going without telling her where he's going.

We went to dinner afterwards and she was in tears... Broke my heart... She didn't understand how he was going to be okay without her - He was used to her taking care of him. They told her that Pork Chop, Daisy and Jazmin's pig were all going to play together in the big trailer. By the end of dinner she was better, but there were tears a couple of times.

Skip forward to Sunday. Mom is making lunch for everyone - she has chicken out - not sure what she wants to make. She wanted to do pork chops and sausage, but felt that was not appropriate for today. We all agreed. Best not cook pork chops for a little girl (and little boy) who just sold their precious "Pork Chop" to a butcher!

All in all, it's been a great experience. Trenton told us his Daddy is buying him a new pig and he's going to call him "Bacon." Little Trenton just doesn't get it. One day he will understand, but at 3, it's all too cute!Farewell Pork Chop!
