I guess then we will tell you what happened to our mom on her way to work this morning.
So she is driving along on Hwy. 1 which is a pretty busy highway in the morning. Peoples are getting to work, semis are going to the interstate, farmers are going to the local gas station for coffee, or maybe a porta-potty. We are not really sure.
As mom is coming across the bridge she see's a truck alongside the road with their blinkers on. At first, she thought maybe they were on their phone but then she saw a little tiny pig run out in her lane of traffic. Luckily she was the only person on the road for that very moment, and she hurried and pulled off the side of the highway.
The guy said the little pig was going to get hurt running along the highway and he was trying to catch him. We think he fell out of his farmers truck cos he had a yellow ear tag. NO ONE ELSE WAS STOPPING TO HELP so Mom just stood in the middle of the highway and they were sorta forced to stop.
We don't know if this was illegal but probably the semi drivers were getting ready to call our local sheriff just to get mom off the highway. Finally, the electric guys drive up and pull off and one of them gets out to help. They corner that slippery little pig on the bridge and grab him up so he is safe.
Mom gets out of the middle of the road, people wave at her, people flip her off, but Mom is happy.
Hopefully that little pig goes to a really nice farm, where they will take care of him the rest of his long long life.
So thats our Wednesday story about mom and the pig. We always thought mom would rescue a Golden not a pig. You never know.

Hooray for Mom! My ghostwriter remembers a long time ago, she saw a whole family of ducks trying to cross the road at the exit of the Thruway. There was no way she could stop and get out of the car at that spot. She always hoped those little duckies made it across safely!

At first we read "pig" as "pug" but either way it was scary to have one running on the highway. We also were sure you were going to say your mom brought the pig home to live with all your other critters. We guess you dodged a bullet with that one. BOL!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet story!
