Alas, poor pig, we knew him well.
Doctor hamlet III no longer lives with us he is out on a farm where any pig should be happy as can be #goblue #NoBadDays

Dr. Hamlet the 4th
Hey, now. I loved Dr. Hamlet III as much as anyone, but if he let his guard down for even a second...
This whole thread reminds me of The Simpsons episode when Homer gets a pet Lobster and then eats it.
I suspect a landlord had something to do with this...
but what kind of a landlord has the stones to tell Lewan he has to get rid of his pet?
Lewan is one of the nicest, goofiest kids you will ever meet away from the field.
Seriously.
BBQ at the Big House is coming up...
they ARE chocolate.
one of my favorite cartoons.
To oink, no more.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't shed a tear or 2.
Unexpected and unfortunate news came in today about the departure of Dr. Hamlet III. The only evidence we have so far is from Taylor Lewan's twitter account so the exact details aren't clear, but we have been made aware that city ordinances may conflict with scholarships for barn animals.
While this clears out a spot for the 2014 class, we can only hope a NCAA overrule will return Dr. Hamlet III to his real home as a Michigan Man(BallPig).
More after whatever
instead of kittens (should kittens become necessary)
That pig lasted about as long as Drake Harris' committment to MSU.
BOOM SHAKALAKA
It was crazy.
it's actually "Horatio", not "well" as the last word to the phrase.
*folds arms*
well, and also it's about Yorick, anyway...
*gives up*
*reconsiders my life*
I should have considered my audience. If I had used it a bit more literally, I could have had Hamlet speaking to or about Dr. Hamlet III!
I prefer this ending instead

Does this merit a "Goodbye" post?
My vegan, animal loving wife and I just got our first house last week. She's wanted to keep pot-belly pigs, but we had trouble finding a place because of zoning. The pig raising books and websites we've looked at all say to check your local zoning laws first. Our experience in rural PA was that pigs were typically in a grey zone, sometimes pets (dogs, cats) and sometimes farm animals (cows, horses, sheep), and sometime it depended on how many pot-belly pigs you had (>2 = farm animals, for zoning purposes). Some fancy neighborhoods allowed up to 2 pigs, and some more rural areas didn't; it was almost random. But we found a small farmette in a sort of MadMax-type area that doesn't have any rules at all, so we can get all the pigs, sheep, goats, etc we want. (Our new neighbor has chickens, goats, 2 sheep, a peacock, and an alpaca).
if that poodle-faced paca end's up roasting on someone's grill so I can LOL.
I'll miss the pig though.
you can expect to see your animals on a roasting spit just down the road pretty soon.
We are a little worried about pig-rustling/roasting. Hopefully it'll be more of a Beyond Thunderdome situation, with Tina Turner and MasterBlaster around to help manage the pig poop shovelers.
a delay at Metro across from 3 or 4 alpaca ranchers. As I recall they were homeward bound from an auction. I learned a few things that trip, among them the fact that those guys are serious about alpacas, as well as how expensive a prime alpaca can be.
I can't believe your wife keeps animals and then teases them by eating their food. Diabolical!

How does this hurt our APR?
not worth the butchering. and pig scat has a funk like no other animal - it will get in your brain. i suspect as hamlet got older the 'cute' wore off and the smell got worse. buh-bye pet.
At least they got a delicious animal as a pet, and not, say, a parakeet.
Good luck Hamlet.
(there'ssuppossed to be a pigs in space jpg, but it won't load, dammit)
