Spring break 2018 I was hoodwinked into sitting for a snake, 2 cats, 2 dogs, and 2 pigs. Nope, you don’t have to reread that. I said PIGS. Let me first advise all of you that I don’t like pigs. I mean, I like bacon, and pork chops, and the occasional ham. But I am not a fan of the live squealing version, and definitely not up close and personal. But my best friend batted her baby blues at me and said “Please?” so what else could I do? While her and her teenagers head off to Disney for the week I was on Zoo duty. And like any good caretaker, I made sure she was aware of how her wild kingdom was holding up in her absence. What follows is excerpts from our texts during that week.

“LIKE LUCIFER TOUCHED HER ASS” is my new favorite expression!
