Just have to share this w/ you guys, as its pretty funny! I live in southwest La, 80 miles from the Texas state line. We are flat, rice country, nothing more, nothing less. Our people are great, and I live in a neighborhood that was once rice fields, just 30 years ago. We are surrounded on 3 sides by at huge farming operation, that are friends of mine. Each homestead in on approximatley 1 acre and it is comprised of brickhomes, with a nice family environment. Now, that I have painted that picture for you, you can imagine that I am the only hog hunter in the neighborhood. But people love my cooking, and now that at anytime you can see me skinning a hog/deer, or cleaning fish.
Well, this past week I set a big trap on the farm and caught 11, 3 going over 100#'s, and 8 shoats. I roped and removed the big ones on Saturday w/ the help of my 2 boys, and left the 8 shoats in the trap to get them on Sunday when my two step sons would be able to help. I went home and cleaned 2, giving one to a friend I had promised one. The next morning we had a big breakfast and then loaded everyone up for the trip to the trap. We even had my little 3 y/o nephew in tow. It was great watching the kids catch the little ones, and quite comical, had a blast! We loaded all 8 into a large dog box I had and returned home to begin processing. The whole time we are heading home, the 3 y/o is saying he wanted to catch one. So, we get home, get a 25 lb shoat out the box and put the smallest pair of hobbles I had on the pig for him to chase it in the yard and grab it. That's where the plan went to crap!
We no sooner cut the pig loose and I see a hobble has slipped off one leg, then another, then another, then the chase was on! I hollered at my boys to cut the Jags loose as I sprinted around the front of my house. At this time, I need to let you guys know that I like to eat, and as much as I would like to sprint, I am not sure you can call my running a true "sprint". Anyway, luckily the dogs either saw me or the pig running and made quick work passing me on the way to stop the pig. We crossed two blacktop streets in the neighborhood and I can see clearly that this pig is heading for a large brick home with lots of cars parked there. It also had a huge group of people attending a family cookout complete with little kids on a trampoline!
You guessed it - the dogs stop the pig under the trampoline complete w/ 20 spectators. So now I have a squealing pig, and two dogs that look like they have rabies on some man's yard in broad daylight. All I could do was - "Excuse me,......sorry....excuse me.....I will be outta here in a minute sir...sorry!" type conversations while his guest screamed, thought it was going to be bad, but they laughed and they were all city slickers who thought it was cool seeing the little dogs catch the pig. Thought the law was going to come for a second, then realized they liked the show.
I immediaely went home and cleaned that little booger last night and he was so tender in that black iron pot!

The story is hailarious, but what really makes it is the comment about the Jags - "two dogs that look like they have rabies" You are right. To people who would not know any better, thats a good description and makes the story that much funnier!
