Day in the life of the Baconator

This is how I have been finding Bocephus when I leave for work in the mornings--asleep under a little tree in the front yard. He has ears like a bat though, so when he hears the door open, he gets up and comes running for his morning greeting from me. Not today. He was sleeping so hard, I could hear him snoring on the porch.

I got close enough to take pics that the clicking of the camera woke him up. This is him giving me the evil eye. I do not know what a peeg does all day that he needs to rest this much.

After I gave up taking pics and got in the truck, he woke up more and sat up on his hiney. I do not see this very often--I do not think it is normal pig positioning. He looked very content to me. Check out those wrinkles on his back legs--and thank God he is not a horse, or those jacked up legs would not serve him well. Poor knock-kneed pig
Sleepy peeg---his big ol yawns crack me up, especially now that he has those little tusks in there. He looks like he could do some damage to someone if he wanted to. He is a very peaceful peeg though, and has yet to use those tusks for evil. At least as far as I know.
About this time, Boce decided he needed to resume his resting.
That required going round and round in circles--three times--just like a dog. I have always thought that Boce thinks he is a dog, instead of a pig. This is just further evidence of it.
Check out that sweet tail. When we first got him as a teeny peegy, I was very disappointed that the screwy curly tail I expected was not reality. Instead, it is this ratty looking thing, with long hairs on the end. I am used to it though, especially because you can grab it sometimes and he will holler at you--which always cracks me up.
Down he went--exactly the way Simba lays down in the bed, face first. More dog like behavior.

This was the best picture ---never have I caught a picture of him rolling up on his back---. you should have heard him quietly squealing to himself as he got settled. He sounded like a baby. He was totally asleep by the time I was back in the truck to go to work.

I do not know what this peeg does all day, but it must wear him out. I know he has been raising that orange kitty--I saw him sharing his peeg food with her the other day. I assume she is a her kitty, but I do not know as I cannot get near it. Boce seems to be taking good care of her though. The rest of the day, he mostly rests, unless he is in the pasture playing with Sly, Twister and Fonz--which mostly means following them around to see if they have food. That rat terrier thing from next door comes over to play with him some too. He must be doing something that wears him out, as I have never seen such a tired piggy as I did this morning.
