A Potbelly Pig
Share
Oh my goodness
Let me tell you a story I heard today,
.
Pulling out her sock purse of coins
Buying $1.50 discount chickens
Realizing she can buy-
*Excuse me-“rescue”-*
One
No- two!
-Wait a minute-
THREE more chickens!
Pulling her cart to the side and skipping back for more.
Don’t worry she will tell me more.
.
She has also rescued
A potbelly pig
Tipping the scales well over 300lbs
And suffering from fat blindness.
“Fat blindness?” I ask before realizing the words rolling out of my mouth.
Yep!
She already had a photo up and ready to show off
And it is living in her house!
Along with cats and dogs
Squirrels and raccoons
Hedgehogs and skunks
.
An animal rescue
Started during Covid
-Of course-
.
Even better
She is babysitting later this month
For a family with their own
-He has it even better-
A room all to himself
Spotless, classy decor
He loves his apple in the morning-
A noon salad with ranch dressing-
A nightly ice cream sandwich,
As he watches Nickelodeon.
Never having to share the remote.
He has it good.
.
Only one of the stories shared with me during a shift
Standing at a register
In a farm store in the Midwest.
She has no idea-
How she made my day.
