Oh, gosh. Amanda, that is so very, very nice and sweet of you. To acknowledge my love o'My Boys. Thanks!



Yeah. I HATED snakes until I fell in love with Wiinie the Poo, a garter (get it? POO? They musk?) I talked the park into keeping. That's a story for another time...



Then I was introduced to Eastern Hoggies due to one we found at the park and kept for one day, before releasing, to use in our snake program.



I was sold on Easties. And wanted one for me to have and take to the park to use in our program. But... You know, their requirements are so much more difficult to meet than Westies.



But - at the time - Westies were ugly to me. Ish. Not near as cute as an Eastern.



STUPID ME!



I decided to get a CB Western due to their easier feeding requirments, got my Hoggies (my dual Hoggies is another story!), and I can never again say an Eastern's cuter than a Westie as THEY AREN'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!



WESTIES FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



I kiss my babies. Salmonella be damned. So far, I've not cramped or pooed due to kissing The Boys. Who knows? Maybe Muzzer and her Boys have the same kind'a germs?



All I know, there is NOTHING like a Westie. Nothing.



Thanks for your kind words. I have to agree with you - if everyone loved their Hoggies as I do, and prolly like you do, we'd never find kids up for adoption.



Thanks, Amanda. Nice to know you.







>>I understand. They are the ones I check on first when I come in. I hope every hog we send out into the world gets as happy an owner as you.

>>Enjoy

>>Amanda
