I've had a Weird life. Weird shit happens to me. I am pretty sure I am the only person on the face of the planet at this period in history that can say...I have held off a pack of wolves with a samurai sword. I also hit a Banff sized moma bear with a cub, in the head with a rock for teaching the cub to break into my bus. Not a smart choice on my part. Lucky for me, she shrugged it off .
I just had another truly weird one....that seems to prove there are mischievous gods.
I am pretty sure this is a "only person on the face of the planet" story.
I was away for the day. The New Pet On The Block is a harness trained pig. I'm still getting him used to being on a harness. Something I learned in Cuba and Jamaica. No expensive fencing. No problem. (survival lesson here).
As evening was falling, I decided pig training meant I had to walk the pig. I took him to the top of the property. He was cool with the idea. It took a while to get to this point. The dogs came. So did the cat. (Mutual assistance Group). The cat likes coming in spite of his natural instincts. A hawk or coyote might take her...except for the dogs. So she gets to go where no cat has gone before. The dogs like to fight and fuck and protect and suck up and cause a ruckus. But they learned( Through hard knocks) to totally ignore the chickens...so the got really quick to ignore the pig. The pig was finally comfortable to sniff the dogs butt and let me walk him. He eventually freeked out when the tiny kitty cat decided it was fun to stock the pig. Instinct kicked in. Pigs get eaten by big cats. Pig wanted to go home. So, the unusual crew of us headed back. It was up to me to provide for everyone's safety needs.
It got me thinking about my community building post. Man, dogs, pig and cat going for a walk.
Weird Survival Tales. Like the wolf story, I could be wrong but I am pretty sure I am the only person on the face of the planet that have walked that Unusual combo of competing instincts bound together for survival. It might be profound... or not...but I thought you all might like the story.
That'll do, pig
I have a Tactical Harness and I have a Tool Belt. The Tool Belt is more Useful.
Charlotte's Web? Babe the Pig? A Tale of Two Kitties? Booooring. Nope, the movie I'd go see is... Cern, the Pig Walker.
I picture Mel Gibson in his Mad Max outfit with a giant wild boar on a chain leash.
After the premier, I picture a giant pig roast.
