Crazy You Say?

We've all been there; babysitting that 4 year old that can't seem to leave anything alone, having the 6 year old get his toys out, even though you asked him to put them away, or when you're making dinner and the kid is hoarding around you like a vulture (guilty). Now picture Marlo (my pig). Everything listed above is one of the many battles I encounter with her.
Marlo is synonyms with crazy, wild, senseless, outlandish, and ridiculous. This phsycotic four-legged phsyco has more energy than one can imagine. Come feeding time, it looks as though she hasn't seen food in weeks! She'll run around the pen, jumping in the air and running into anything that gets in her way. Then, to make matters worse, she'll run over to you (or run over you) and begin chewing on your boots! And if you ask her to stop, it's like telling a brick wall to soften up! And don't even get me started on the water! Lets just say I leave the pen with more water on me then in the water bucket.....all because of little Miss Marlo.
I actually took the time to look up the meaining of Marlo's name and it just so happens to mean "Drained lake"......well by golly, that pig is draining her lake all over me!
