Caboose, i never met you but i love you.
My boyfriend is a writer and one of his readers recently requested his help:
Her son had to raise a pig for a class project and had eventually grown attached to the pig and did not want to sent it to auction were it would have been sold and turned into a BLT 
The mother asked if my boyfriend could put a call for help in his popular column to see if someone would want to adopt the pig and save her from a horrible fate. He also promised that if no one responded that he would adopt her.
We are now the adoptive parents of Caboose a 200lb pig.
Unfortunately, the City of Irvine does not allow Caboose or any of her friends for that matter (boring!). But fortunately there are great organizations like Animal Acres in Los Angeles that do take farm animals in and give them a peaceful and just life. This will be Caboose’s new home on Monday.
Because i was too busy with the remodel and new section, i was not able to say my hello/goodbye to Caboose, but my boyfriend was nice enough to take a few photos.
I guess she rolls over when you scratch her belly and tried to eat his shoes 3 times.
Our family is so grateful to you and Gustavo for all you’ve done!
With much love and respect,
Kathy

What an adorable pig. Too bad you couldn’t keep her.
