First I decorate the whole house inside and out over Thanksgiving weekend...then the festivities begin, my stitchin group goes every year to a craft fair and this little pot belly piggy is always there, usually he has his Santa hat on but this year it was quite windy so it wouldn't stay put. Believe it or not, the man that owns him takes showers and sleeps with this pet. Pot belly pigs are very clean and never get fleas, but in bed, I think not!!!
