Hi everyone! I am Ernie from the Prairie Pigs and I am here to wish you all a happy first day of Spring. That part is perfectly sincere, but wearing this silly daisy costume is not my favourite thing in the world, to be honest. Slave tried it on Charlotte first, but wily Charlotte kept tearing the head-dress off and making sure her eyes were closed when the picture was taken so Slave went looking for other spokespigs.
I don't like it either, but I know that there are rewards (EDIBLE rewards!!!) if a pig behaves himself for a few minutes, so I put up with it. If we ever find out where she hides this costume between photo shoots, it will meet a violent end. A few nibbles here and there and it will not be quite so photogenic. HAH!!!
I mean it about wishing everyone a happy first day of Spring, though. Winter is very long up here in Canada and while the ground is covered with snow, there is no grass for our afternoon snack. When Spring comes, the snow melts and the grass grows again, and we will get a pile of it everyday, not to mention chickweed and plantain and all sorts of other tasty weeds. Mmmmmm! I can almost taste them already. Come on Spring!!!
Happy First Day of Spring to the Prairie Piggies. We hope that it will not be long before your are able to have lovely fresh grass again.
ReplyDeleteErnie, you did a wonderful job wearing your costume to welcome in spring, and, hey, the treats do make it all worthwhile! We will try to send you some warmer weather so you and the other Prairie Pigs can enjoy fresh grass, chickweed, and plantain soon. Um, we are getting hungry ...
