A HUGE Day For Us!

On Thursday, June 18, 2009 Mommy and me went to a dog show in Cambridge, MN. We won a ribbon for Winner's Dog and this was the first time we got to win this award. Mommy said that we just floated around the ring like we were on top of the clouds, and it was magic! The judge was very nice and she liked how we looked, so she let us win the ribbon. Mommy was very proud of me, and I was proud of her, too, for doing such a good job as my handler!

When we went home after the show Daddy said something was wrong with Miss Piggy cause it was hot and she was having a hard time breathing. Mommy went down to the pasture and watched Miss Piggy for awhile and when she came back to the house she told us that she thought Miss Piggy was about to have her babies. So, she went back down to watch and make sure Miss Piggy was okay, and sure enough, Miss Piggy started having little baby pigs! They are sooo tiny! And they are not like little Ridgeback puppies at all- when they are born their eyes and ears are already open! They also don't have any ridges. But otherwise, they are okay, I guess. Here is a picture of the first four babies. After they were born Miss Piggy took a break and then she had four more- that's a pretty good-sized litter.
