Post #31 - March 20th, 2008, 9:55 pmSo here’s how the Presentation of the Pig went down.
First, the card, including a pic of Dee Dee, Ermine's mom, rooting about amidst corn cobs.
Then, the palpable, unalloyed joy as The Wife understands the full import of the gift:
The announcement card was actually a kind of View-Master that provided a 3-D image of a piggy.
Overall, a huge success, thanks to the recommendations of all here. Ladies, note pearls (silk purse and vehicle not visible)."Don't you ever underestimate the power of a female." Bootsy Collins

ME: It's name is Ermine. We're going to love and care for it. Then eat it.
THEM: Oh.

What if she loves the pig gift so much that she doesn't want to eat it and wants to raise it for the rest of its natural life? In your house? And garden?

You're an attorney, right? Perhaps we will call upon you to help us rezone our property for agriculture...GWiv has been trying to convince me to raise chickens...

Sounds like a legal specialty worth developing . . .

I'm pretty sure I'd need someone of aschie30's legal acumen to start a farm in my backyard.

Fabulous photos, and as if the gifts weren't enough, you also produce a custom viewmaster to see the little porker. What a guy!
But what restaurant were you at?

Hammond,
Terrific pictures!
Could the fact you are lavishing your bride, not that she does not deserve it, with gifts have anything to do with your recent evening at Mike O'Donnell's Pub ?
Inquiring minds and all that.
Enjoy,
Gary

Our anniversary is in a few weeks. I'd make a point of showing this thread to the Husband Who Gave His Wife a Garbage Disposal, but it'd more likely result in a pig in a poke.
Oh, well, he has other redeeming qualities. We'll be hitting #23.
