PIGS
MY PIGS
During 2004,my family went to the Akron Zoo. There I got my first stuffed pig,his name was Snorty. He was white with light brown spots. He started my pig collection. That Christmas, I got my second pig. His name was Bobtail. He was light pink and when you squeezed him he would snort "O Christmas tree".He was my second pig. During the next year I went to a store near our house where I got two stuffed pigs, their names were Babe and Santa Babe. They were my third and fourth pigs. My collection was well under way. On my birthday the next year I got my fifth pig, his name was Gordy. He was pink and you could stick your hand in his back and move his mouth like a puppet to make him snort one note at a time of "Old MacDonald", "Frere Jaques", or "London Bridge". My collection was almost complete. Near the end of June,2007,I got my sixth pig. His name was Eddy after Eddy Rickenbacker,World War1 flying ace. I named him that because he could fly.Eddy was peach with a pink cape.
