Is this your pig?
Here's something to ponder this Friday afternoon. Martin emails today:
My wife and I woke up this morning to find a giant, stuffed-animal pig in our backyard. We have absolutely no idea where it came from, how it got there, or why it suddenly arrived in our yard.
We live in Pine Hills, so there's always some kind of shenanigans going on... but this?!
Martin says the pig is about three feet tall. He and his wife are looking for suggestions about what they should do with it.
We vote for adoption.
Say Something!
We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up.

Teach it to hunt for stuffed truffles!

I believe that under certain rare weather conditions, gnomes turn into pigs.
Those conditions involve unseasonably warm weather, snow squalls, and Kirsten Gillibrand's tears, so this development is unsurprising.

That's awesome! I'd say donate it to the children's hospital, but you don't know where it's been, so that may not be a good idea. It may be carrying scabies.

I am trying to decide if this pig is cute or creepy. Either way, I would stay away from ham and bacon for awhile if I were you!

The swine needs a quest. Send him in search of Red Pants & Blue Pants.

It's funny, I used to live in Pittsburgh (that's not the funny part, that was actually kind of tragic) and there was a house in the North Hills area that used to have 8-10 of these large county fair sized stuffed animals sitting in chairs in their front yard. Rain or shine, they were there all year long. I can only imagine how bad they must smell! YUCK!

I was hoping for some REAL ideas... looks like this little piggy is going to make his way into someone else's backyard...
