still waiting.................

it's a day past Elsie's (recalulated!) due date, it's nearly 30 degrees C, and she has just about had enough. Wonder if this is how Kate Middleton is feeling.

[Hazel]

Well I remember that feeling anyway. (Hope I didn't look quite like Elsie, no disrespect, Elsie!!!) Looking forward to seeing the offspring.

[Lepi]

Aww I remember it too and it was hot whilst I was waiting/bringing forth. Very uncomfortable. We look forward to tiny trotters soon.

[Maggiemae]

Good grief! So who is comparing Kate with Miss Piggy?

[Padlock]

would think so

[Pam Knowler]

Poor Elsie in this heat!! I am still laughing at your comparison with Kate Middleton!! Great shot!!

[Trisha King]

I'll bet she is hosed off and hoping to be hosed off waiting for the babies to arrive.

[Corrie]

Lovely capture, such a handsome beast!!

[Mike]

The calm before the storm ...poor love!

[Roe Jan]

Awww. Glad she found a shady spot to rest.

[cheryl]

she does look quite comfy. I can wait to see baby pics!!!

[🐞Lucy Dolittle]

Bless her, I can sympathise, I had July babies both late!! We are all waiting. Hope they arrive before 26th!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Bless her --in all this heat --I can also sympathize - my son was born in July --his b.day is today !!

[carol white]

Bless her,she must be very uncomfortable in this heat!!

[Sue Rose]

Oh dear poor Elsie! I do sympathise with her, this is what I looked like 29 years ago almost to the day! I hope Kate doesn't read your comment ;)

[Nancy]

What a pig, I bet she is ready, great shot.

[Decima F]

My sympathy to the pig (sow?), she must be rather uncomfortable.

[PasadenaRose]

Aw, poor dear piggy. She'll be glad when it's all over.

I happened upon a touching donkey story today and immediately thought of you.
I've included the link to the video of a miniature donkey that was born with a deformed rear leg. Some very inventive medical folk created a prosthetic leg for him.
It was so heartwarming to see him dashing around his pen.

@pasadenarose That is such a great story, thanks. I have just put it on my FB page

[Karin Treff]

Wow, as they say in "Charlotte's Web", that's SOME PIG! Great photo. Hope all goes well with mom and babies.

[JH]

Poor Elsie. I feel rather like she looks even absent the litter.

[❀ Lynn]

Wow....that belly looks big! Hope she produces soon so that both of you are more comfortable!

[Judith Greenwood]

Elsie and Kate must be feeling rubbish! They've both missed my mum's 80th birthday (16th) so need to hang on for Rachel's 19th now (23rd)!

[Pat Knowles]

Heard on the grapevine Elsie has had her babies....looking forward to a photo of the new family!!!

[Lisa Pouncy]

Oh dear, poor thing. I recall feeling like this with one of my pregnancies, so hot!! xx

[Cathy]

Bless their hearts... Elsie and Kate!
