My newest magazine article is out!

Hi,

Just wanted to let you all know that my newest article is out in the Jan/Feb issue of Back Home magazine. It is called "Bacon, With a Little Sausage" and tells of our adventures in raising pigs. You will find it in the magazine starting on page 48. They have the magazine on sale now in bookstores and where other magazines are sold.

Check it out and let me know what you think.

I thought your article was really cool! I learned all sorts of stuff about pig-raising like that crazy dog/pig watering spigot contraption thing. Who comes up with these things?

I'm glad that you liked the article, Hauntfox.

Using the nozzle for our pigs was a bit different from other pig raisers. Most pigs drink water from a trough.

Actually the "nozzle idea" has turned out to be a great invention for many kinds of animals and has been used for many years now. When used a little differently, say with a hanging bottle in a cage, it is great for rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, mice, and many other creatures. It provides them with a supply of clean water that they would not have in a bowl. And they all learn quickly to use them.
