Wilbur ate my yard!!!

Damn pigs!

Who let the pigs out?  Snort, snort, snort.

Here is something that happened last summer in my wonderful park and I hope it doesn't happen again anytime soon. My flower bulbs were coming up and my garden veggies were poking out of the ground. I hadn't been able to get anything to grow in this yard for a couple of years, so I was as happy as a hog with fresh slop in my trough. My husband was out of town for the weekend, so everything was up to me for the time being. I went to bed after watering all my wonderful outside greenery and was awoken at around 4am. I heard the rain coming down, hitting the tin roof of my older mobile home, but I also heard snorting and digging, a lot of noise for sure. It freaked me out! I wasn't certain what was going on, so I crept to the bedroom window and peeked out at my garden where the noise was coming from. I couldn't see well, but something large was moving about and making a horrific noise. I decided to investigate. I quietly made my way outside and sneaked around the corner of my mobile home and low and behold I had a giant slab of wood-be bacon digging up my garden. This pig was huge! It had rooted through my garden digging up and eating every single vegetable I had planted. It then ran past me nearly knocking me to the ground with it's enormous ham hock and proceeded in rooting up my flower bulbs! To accompany this fat, giant pig, were two more hogs that somehow made it to my neck of the woods. I tried to wrestle one of the pigs and haul it out of my yard before it could do any more damage than it already had, but to no avail. It didn't even pause. It was as if I were no more than a pesky little flea. It and the other two pigs just kept rooting up my grass, flowers, and anything they could dig up until I had giant holes everywhere and no foliage to speak of. I must of looked like a fool at 120 pounds, in my pj's, rain pouring down on me as I mud wrestled a giant pig. What a site! I finally wandered back into my mobile home, wet, muddy, and beaten by the "other white meat" and called the manager. This is when I found out that he had brought them over to clean all the waste out of my ex-next-door-neighbors yard. What he hadn't realized they would do was dig a hole under the fence to my side of the yard. This is a new year however, and all is good so far. The grass is thick and green, vegetables are already sprouting, and my flowers are in full bloom with no pigs in site. Hooray for me!!!
