Poor Hammy, He is actually a very gentle pig. He loves his life on our yard and usually nobody bothers him. He stays away from any conflict and plays constantly with the goat Pepper. I have to approach him very slowly because he is so shy. Once he feels I'm not a threat, He will enjoy my attention and pats. Bubba on the other hand has been spoiled all his life. He has an attitude and is very stubborn. Why he wants to constantly bother Hammy is beyond me. We keep them separate but today Bubba wore a hole threw the board that separates them and made an opening wide enough to get his head through. That was enough. They locked onto each other and had a ferocious battle. With guys on each side of the board, we finally pried them apart but it looked like Bubba's lower lip was ripped right off. I called the vet who immediately arrived. After a few shots in the butt,
Bubba finally fell deep enough under that the Doctor could get a good idea what was going on with his injury's. A tusk was ripped off. That's all. Lots of blood from the loss of a tooth. Bubba is sound asleep and will probably have a toothache for a few days. I think I will suffer longer when I get the bill.
