Please welcome Frodo to our prestigious piggy club. This two and half year old weighs a whopping 3lbs and 1oz. As many of you know, Frodo is a member of the infamous Piggyfriends just like our President, Daisy. Daisy recently interviewed Frodo and here is his story.Daisy: All of us here at Piggyfriends know your story but would you mind retelling it for our readers?
Frodo: I'd be honoured but I think that we should tell everyone that mine is a scary story and might not be suitable for little piglets to read.
Daisy: So, how did you come to be a Piggyfriend?
Frodo: When I was a piglet, I was in a horrible place called a Pet Shop. I was going to be put to sleep because I have an extra toe on a hind foot but a kind lady heard about me and called her friend, Chris, who happens to be the Piggyfriends' rodentologist. She asked her if she knew of someone who could take in an extra piggy.
Luckily for me, our slave was at Chris's house at the time that she made the call and she said that there was always room for another Piggyfriend. So this kind lady bought me and took me to her home. I stayed with her until she could drive me to Chris's house. After I was given a thorough health check and lots of cuddles, our slave came and brought me home. That was in October 2005.
Our slave named me after the hero of her favourite ever book. He also escaped certain death through the intervention of a good friend.
I am not the only piggy here that has an extra toe as our matriarch, Pansy, is the same.
When I first arrived here I lived with my friend, Maple, but sadly he has gone to the Bridge so my best friend now is Halloween, who also came from a nasty home. I used to run around a lot with Maple but Halloween is an older piggy and we tend to sit around eating a lot of the time, which has probably caused me to reach LAPS weight.
My favourite food is grass and I also enjoy tomatoes, apple, romaine, melon and cucumbers. I like it in the summer when our slave forages for fresh tasty weeds and I just love chickweed and sow thistle. I also love the contents of the dry food bowl and wheek loudly at the slave when it needs refilling.
Daisy: Thank you Frodo. Keep munching and welcome to LAPS.
