....oh dear.... makes note to call Nef's keeper.....
BTW, Nef has a baby sister now, housekeeper's daughter thought she might be lonely (not likely with 4 dogs and 6 cats).... but anyway, got a baby piglet to keep Nef company....... laughing because Nef has never been around her own "kind".... she's probably thinking... what the h$ll is that???!!!??? LOL

Ya know, I heard in Israel they were calling it the Mexican Flu as they couldn't refer to a swine illness (Jewish). Wow, who would have thought we had to be so politically correct even when it came to a Pandemic?

2b!..... how cute is that!!!!!...... Nef looked a lot like that when she was a baby except that she is a pot belly..... her mid section hangs much lower, and her legs are shorter!.... but she is all black, and has a very similar face...

No MC, Nef is grown now.... the pics when she was a baby were from last year when Son first got her!...... she out grew his "capabilities" to keep her in the fall, so we gave her to my house keeper's daughter. They live on 4 acres out in the "country", and have a big fenced in yard with chickens, and all sorts of animals..... she absolutely loved her, and promised Son if he ever wanted her back, that he could have her......(pigs live a long time!)... but anyway, the girl (12) is loving taking care of her, and Nef, who doesn't know she's a pig (thinks she's a cat since that is what she was raised with)... is loving being in a large place, where she can run and "root", without me stressing over her ruining my yard! (I kept her last summer)!..... the Santa hat was when she came to "visit" at Christmas, and we took her for a walk (yes, she walks on a leash).... to see the Christmas lights..... but at that time she was 150 lbs!!!!!
