Mother love

Raised in a city I am always softened to see animals I don't see so often. At the city-farm de Kemphaan in Almere I saw this mother sow feeding her piglets.. Unfortunately I stood at the wrong side to have a good look.

When I arrived at the other side, the feeding was over already and the piglets were walking away.

But one piglet kept close to her mom to have a nap together.

  1. Very odd to see a pig on concrete rather than wallowing in mud

  2. We need to learn many things from the animals. It is nice to see the piglets love over their mother!

  3. I have always seen pigs raised in a field and only in barn during storms or winter. Pigs on pavement you say - the pavement certainly would retain the heat of the sun......aah, perhaps I'll just take a wee nap. he,he

  6. Dearest Marianne,
    Any baby animals with their mother is such an endearing sight!
    Too bad you could not freely approach them for taking your wished for photos but this is sweet enough.
    Hugs,
    Mariette
