Other Thursday pig rollers have already posted photos of their porkers with the Welsh cakes they laid out for refreshments for our celebration of St. David’s Day a few days earlier (Monday, March 1st)
I have to admit I debated with myself whether to post this picture. Mochyn’s behavior was so abominable. Maiale tried to make him see reason. But her best efforts made no difference. (Pigs are not natural negotiators. They need special training, which she has not had.) As I said, I’m posting this with reservations. Are there young pigs out there who, seeing this, will think it’s OK and appropriate to climb on top of the food set before them? What a horrible example to give the next generation! Mochyn, with his Welsh name, walking around on top of those Welsh cakes...
Well, all that being said, I love both those little pigs, whether or not they are the pedigree Welsh pigs they think they are. Pedigree or no, despite questionable behavior, I’m posting this photo, with a stern warning to never do that again!
Beautiful presentation and lovely story. As a child, our Easter table was decorated with little pigs, lambs and chickens. They were made of marzipan. They were not actually eaten, and they were a beautiful decoration.
LOL! This is a fabulous composition, Mary, in spite of Mochyn’s behavior. I am so glad you posted it because otherwise I would not have been able to give it a FAV
Mochyn is the Welsh word for “pig.” That name was an easy choice. My pigs and I set about choosing names when we discovered that Katy gave names to the spare pair of pigs I had sent her. We settled on a similar name for Maiale. Her name is Italian for “pig.”
@summerfield Vikki, this is exceedingly after the fact, but I was looking back through my project and saw, to my chagrin, that I had not tagged you in my answer to your question. Apologies. See above.
