Our Multi-Talented Pig

I've been wanting me to make a post about Bacon,a feral hog Teryn caught last spring. She has become quite a pet! Bacon follows us everywhere we go on the ranch, weather we walk or ride, she's always right there! In this picture she is helping Teryn gather cattle. Teryn teases the other cowboys that at least his 'cowhog' doesn't chase rabbits! The other morning the dogs were barking, and when Teryn looked out the window he saw a coyote (probably wanting to eat our 1 remaining hen for breakfast), anyway it was Bacon who chased it away! She also serves as "boar bait!" Twice we've had feral boars visiting at the house. We're pretty isolated out here, and it can be a little scary when I'm home alone, but the truth is I feel very safe with Bacon outside guarding things! She would intimidate anyone and make them go away!
