So last weekend we loaned Elvis-the-Goat to my FIL for weedeating purposes. Loaded him & the kids in the back of the pickup and headed out. Apparently a lot of people have never seen such a sight, we attracted a lot of attention. Even had a couple of guys in suits pull up next to us & ask if they could take a picture with their cell phones. All in all it was pretty funny but just can't compare with this morning...

Jeremy's in football camp which means a 12 mile drive to Brandenburg every morning. Most of you know I'm not exactly a morning person- not really functional until I've had a couple of Dews & a cig or two. We were running late & no time for my caffeine fix so I was a wee bit fuzzy. We're almost to town & I see an animal trotting down the side of the road with something in it's mouth that it stops and shakes every so often. My brain thinks "Damn that's a BIG dog." A couple of seconds later my brain realizes that's NOT a dog, I don't know of any dogs the size of my love seat. My foot hits the brakes to take another look and...it's a big ol' pig trotting down the road! Big pink pig going to town with what looks like a 20 ounce plastic bottle in it's mouth.

I'm thinking maybe all those bad habits of my wasted youth are causing flashbacks so I turn to Jeremy for a sanity check and very calmly say "Son, do you see something on the road?" He looks at me and in that tone of voice you use with the mentally challenged "Yes Mother, there's a pig going along there with a Pepsi." At that point I started howling. I don't know which made me laugh harder- the pig itself or Jeremy's attitude like this is something you see every day...

We get to the school & I drop the boy off. Swing by the Quik-Stop & grab me a pop and some M&M's and head back the way I came. I get to the intersection of the by-pass & 448 and sure enough there's that pig. Somebody's called 911 & we've got Barney Fife plus Gomer & Goober from animal control to assist him. They're trying to convince Big Pink Pig that it *really* wants to get into the bed of AC's little Chevy S-10 pickup truck, BPP is looking at them like they've lost their freaking minds. I swear if there'd been a place to pull over & park I would have just for the entertainment value. Sadly though I had to keep driving so I guess I'll have to wait for next week's newspaper to see how it ended.

OMG thats hilarious!!!  Damn I wish you had a camera!  I keep mine in my truck for cases just like these...

Thanks for making me laugh this morning!!!!!

Glad I could make y'all smile! Ramsey, that was my thought. I think I'm going to stick one of those disposable cameras in the glove box just in case.

Sure wish I could have seen that.  I bet Elvis the goat would have be able to help with the pig.  Straight off the Andy Griffith show

I remember when my bro was in 4-H, he had sheep.  Well we left for the weekend to go to a horse show and that damn sheep got out!  It ended up about a 1/2 mile from the house in some ritz neighbors yard.  They called the police, they caught the sheep and put it in the BACK OF THE POLICE CRUSIER!!!!!!!!!  The sheep then took a ride to the human society where my dad and I went to bail him out!

Wild, ROFLMAO & now I'm singing "Bad sheep, bad sheep, whatcha gonna do" in my head       

Then we brought him home in the bed of our pick-up-truck!  Some people need to take a picture instead of staring!  They act like they have never saw a sheep, and girl in the bed of a pick up truck! LOL!

Here is another one for you!  My mom has mini's and she sold her yearling.  The people that bought wanted it to be a suprise to there kids.  So instead of bringing there horse trailer they bought the MINI VAN instead!!!!!!!  They took the seat out, walked the mini up there, he jumped in, they shut the door and away they went! 

LOL that's how the lady we got Elvis from hauls her goats around. They took a mid-90's minivan, removed the seats in the back & covered the floor with rubber mats, it's kind of neat.

Jeff Foxworthy would have a "hay" day with these stories.  You might be a red neck if you take your kid to camp and pass a pig with a pepsi.......lol
