PENNY

Meet Penny.

Years ago when I first begin volunteering time down

at Fort Rock Family Camp in Brashears, AR I do

not remember them having a dog around.  But they 

had Penny the pig.

As I understand it, just like when someone wants

to get rid of a pet, they will give it away or dump

it.  Well, someone got tired of feeding Penny the

pig.  So, they brought Penny to Fort Rock and gave 

her to them.

Penny was not put in a "pen" but allowed to run

free over about one hundred acres.  So if you 

went up into the woods, you might find Penny,

or if you are out feeding the cows you could find

Penny.  Or even up at the shop where I spent most

of my time, you might find Penny.  

Penny was not as friendly as a dog.  But just as

curious.  In time like all good pigs Penny died.

I for one miss Penny.  Good pet pigs are hard

to find as you know.
