On our way back we went to Pomaire, the little town mentioned in previous blogs for their pottery (mostly for cooking, but some decorations and planters, too). I bought 28 pigs to be sold to benefit the Galveston Humane Society. Pigs will be up for adoption when either I get back or Margie gets back in November, if we can figure out a way for them to ship without breaking. Pigs can be bought, and then we hope you will all save your change and put the change in the pig and give it back to either Margie or take it to Galveston yourselves to benefit cats and dogs (mostly cats, of course!). If any of you want a pig and cannot bear the thought of it being smashed for the money inside (they ARE cute!) we ask that you donate $50.00 so you can keep your pig and help out. All money is tax deductible, of course, and you will receive a receipt. We are taking reservations. Each pig will be named, comes with FEEDING instructions (they like mostly quarters) and will be adorned with a little scarf. These are authentic Chilean pottery hand made and fired pigs, and are really a wonderful gift.
Let me or Margie know if anyone wants one, and I will send you a picture of your pig with a little biography of that pig. They tell me their story, you know, so I can tell all of you!
