We always had at least one pig on the farm and sometimes more. I loved my pigs. They were pretty and intelligent. The one that I think about the most was Snowball who was a 350 pound white Yorkshire pig. Snowball became quite a pet. If you scratched her on her belly, she would first try to help you scratch while standing on three legs like a dog. Then she would give up and roll over to give me complete access to her belly. She would lie there and enjoy the scratching as long as I would give it.

A couple of times a year when Dad noticed that Snowball was ready, we transported her to the neighbor's farm for a social visit. One summer day, the time came for the appointed social visit to the neighbor's boar. (Dad used this experience to serve the purpose of the traditional talk out behind the barn.) Dad sought my older brother, Joe, and me and informed us "It's time to take Snowball to the Howeiller farm. I have a couple of things to do. I have the truck in the pig pen. Go down and load her and I'll be there in a couple of minutes."

We tended to do what Dad said given he was a high school principal and in those days a professional paddler. Joe and I proceeded to the pigpen and sure enough there was the truck in the middle of the pen and a ramp leaning against the fence. We grabbed the ramp, placed it onto the back of the truck, and stepped back to give Snowball some room. Snowball, being the curious animal she was, started up the ramp. Then, she stopped and looked around. Fearing that we would lose all the territory we had accidentally gained without any effort, we each placed a shoulder against a hindquarter of the pig and commenced to push that pig into the truck.

I meant to say, we attempted to push the pig into the truck. Our approach was doomed to failure. When Snowball felt the pressure on her hindside, she automatically pushed against the pressure and backed up. Since she weighed more than both of us put together, she knocked Joe into a mud puddle on one side of the ramp and left me teetering on the edge of the other one. And if you know anything about pig mud puddles, they're not the nicest places to be.
