Monty Arrives, Friday April 16th

Last Friday Josée drove Cynthia to Victoria.  Their mission, should they accept it, was to pick up Monty the mini-pig.  Monty is five months old and quite lovable.  He was being offered free to anyone who would provide him with a good home, as his present owners had to move and could not take him with them.  Of course, Josée being the animal lover she is, and a person looking for a mini-pig, spotted the ad and away they went.  Well, the mission was completed and last Friday was added to the animals at Knight Rd. farm.  Cynthia went along to keep Josée company on the ride, but was immediately smitten by Monty's good looks.  He is definitely cute.

Shortly after they arrived back in Comox, Tim and Andi came out to see Monty bringing Charlotte and Oliver with them.  Charlotte immediately loved the pig and wanted to pet him, but for Oliver, there was no contest where his desires lay.  As long as the tractor is available for a ride, that's where his heart is.  After a quick hello, he was off with Ben to drive the machine and practice his skills in that area.  As for the rest of us, we sat around on the front steps, watching Monty grunt with pleasure as he nibbled the grass, our fingers, or anything else which might be in the area and available for eating.  His little tail (not curly by the way) continued to thrash the air like a wind-shield wiper as he absorbed the love and care which surrounded him.  He is going to be a very happy pig at Knight Rd, of that I have no doubts.
