A True Friend

If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you.
And share with you it’s beauty
On the days you’re feeling blue.
If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own.
A place to find serenity
A place to be alone.
If I could take your troubles
I would toss them into the sea,
But all these things I’m finding
Are impossible for me.
I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair,
But let me be what I know best,
A friend that is always there. 

…Khahlil Gibran

A few weeks ago we lost our little micro mini pig, Miss Piggy, she lived here at the farm with our other pot bellied pig Wilbur. We were saddened by the lost and realized that we would have to find a new special friend for Wilbur soon. Then things got a little busy with everyone being sick and my mother in law passing away. Wilbur kept getting out of his pen, something he never did when Miss Piggy was alive. Well, while out Wilbur checked out all the other animals in the barn and decided to visit Moonpie, our stud llama who is in a stall by himself. The two have become best buds in just a couple of days! Yesterday I moved a dog house into Moonpie’s stall for Wilbur. Everytime I went down to check on the goat to see if she was in labor I checked on Wilbur and Moonpie. Wilbur was sound asleep in his pig house and Moonpie was laying right next to him. This proves two things: First, animals do mourn the loss of their friends. Second, friends can come in all shapes and sizes!

Here are pictures of Wilbur and Moonpie!
