That's one big 'ol boy for a "house" pet! Great story! Thanks, Charis!

I knew some folks that had a blind hog as a house pet...he was a house hog. The first time I saw him, he was stretched out in front of the fireplace, sound asleep and snoring. He was 1000 lb, I was told. He was just fascinating.Even thought he was blind, he navigated the farm yard just fine. When he wanted in the house, he scratched on the back door to be let inside. This story reminded of him...just a bit!

Wow, that's amazing! Nick's story is very sweet. Somehow it doesn't seem strange at all to me to have a full grown ram (or 1000 pig) in the house. I don't know if I'd even notice!

Wonderful story Charis Reminds me of growing up on the farm when my pa would bring in orphaned or sick baby animals.

yeah i dont think id notice either, id probly walk in, and step over it before i even thought, oh look theres a huge sheep, in the lounge room. i think its funny when i let my 7ft diamond python out, to bask in the morning rays in the lounge room. and my little sister comes home with friends. she walks right over her, and then wonders why her friends are running down the driveway screeming.

Thanks for sharing that Charis was a good read
