The last set of Linkin’s (shared) pigs had her babies.

She got to help birth them (she helped with the first pig, named Apple);  this one is named Cookie.  I thought I had blogged about it, but I can’t seem to find where it was to link back to it.

She’s been with them every step of the way.  From the second they arrived at the neighbor’s farm.

Mr. Chapman has been an excellent friend and champion to Linky.  She was with Apple, even helping deliver the  pigs —Mrs. Chapman right there showing her how.  And now with Cookie.  Linky even got to help deliver two that were stuck.  The pigs are excellent Momma’s and adore ‘their little human girl”.

Sadly, Linkin even had to bear the loss of the pig in the front, when she had a heart attack and died.  “Life and death,”  Mr. Chapman explained “all goes together.”

For this little farm girl, now transplanted to a subdivision, she has been given the gift of both worlds.  Terry and I will always be most grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Chapman.

Your friend on a Western Colorado farm,
