"Pig Toys"

"pigs prefer toys which are nutritious, smelly and destructible" says Dr
Day. "They particularly like destroying objects."

Hmm, sound just like small boys, really .....


A few years ago a local shop stocked a line in fruit-flavoured boiled sugar
based whistling lollipops - basically a sweet that made an 'orrible noise if
you blew it.

I bought scores of 'em.

They made wonderful novelty treats to hand out to kids at various events
with the big advantage that the deafening noise ceased the moment they bit
into one or sucked it too hard :-)

Returning to topic: I recall a pen of piglets that somehow acquired a big old
glass corona bottle which they rolled around and tussled over on the
concrete for hours on end. Weeks later when they were moved to a different
unit it was worn to a cloudy grey colour but still intact.

Cheerio,
