Arnie The Pig
May 21st, 2010

If you haven’t heard, the RAD show owns Arnie the Pig!! Yep a super nice, hard working young guy name Jesse wrote Rob and asked if he would be interested in bidding on his Pig!! Jesse is part of 4-H, he is 15 now and has been raising pigs since age 7 and uses his profits to save for college..how cool huh!! So Rob gave me a blank check let me know his limit and out my husband Gary and I went to Calaveras County for their fair and Auction to bid on Jesse’s pig which he named Arnie!!  It was so much fun, I loved it!! Here are some photos from that day…

 

Loved this view as we made our way to the Auction area, an arena, some horses and the beautiful hills…pure heaven for me!!!

  

Introducing…Arnie the Pig! There it is, Jesse actually did name the pig Arnie…weighing in at 263 pounds!


How FREAKEN CUTE is Arnie the Pig!!! Oh my gosh this pig was so sweet and had such a fun personality….look how he likes to sleep on his belly just like Arnie does!!

Our friends John and Lisa from JLC Construction came along with us we all had a great time checking out all the different animals up for auction, although Lisa and I wanted to take a lot of them home for pets and of course our husbands were like no these animals are for eating!

 

I got a chance to meet Jesse, such a great kid and he was so thankful and appreciative that Rob had the high bid, $1052.00, so Arnie the Pig will soon be butchered and turned into bacon and sausage….poor little piggy!
