I was raised on a pig farm. I thought I had seen it all when it came to pigs. Until I saw this photo and read this story about Percy the Pig, I had never seen a pig reclining in a sling back chair. In the sun, no less. You see, pigs don't sweat. So it is very rare that you would find one soaking up the rays, much less sunning his nuts. Pigs tend to go roll in the mud to cool off instead.
When I saw this picture I thought of Eric. Most redheads take extraordinary measures to avoid the sun. Eric will slather on the high SPF sunscreen, but he loves the outdoors and relaxing in the deck chair. Much like Percy the Pig. They both are walking reclining contradictions.
Eric, I think I have found your dream pet. Oink.

... wow... that is EXACTLY the way I sit in my deck chair when I'm sunning my nuts!...

I say the pig is trying to teach his friends something.

Aw, cute. You have to wonder how he got into the chair. Do pigs jump?

I hope they were nice to him when they trained him to do this. I doubt if he can get up in his chair by himself, I'm sure he needs help. Pigs don't sweat so they waller. I raised them for FFA. I haven' seen a pig race, so I don't know all.

But not climb up in a chair and sit down. For sure not that floppy chair. This pig got put in.
