Pigs are survivors. Which means they are complete assholes. True story.

How'd the little guy tear his snout up Trail?
we found it in a cellar at "beelitz heilstätten*" which is really scary place nearby:
*Beelitz-Heilstätten,
a district of the town, is home to a large hospital complex of about 60 buildings including a cogeneration plant erected from 1898 on according to plans of architect Heino Schmieden. Originally designed as a sanatorium by the Berlin workers' health insurance corporation, the complex from the beginning of World War I on was a military hospital of the Imperial German Army.In 1945, Beelitz-Heilstätten was occupied by Red Army forces, and the complex remained a Soviet military hospital until 1995, well after the German reunification. In December 1990 Erich Honecker was admitted to Beelitz-Heilstätten after being forced to resign as the head of the East German government.
Following the Soviet withdrawal, attempts were made to privatize the complex, but they were not entirely successful. Some sections of the hospital remain in operation as a neurological rehabilitation center and as a center for research and care for victims of Parkinsons disease. The remainder of the complex, including the surgery, the psychiatric ward, and a rifle range, was abandoned in 2000. As of 2007, none of the abandoned hospital buildings or the surrounding area were secured, giving the area the feel of a ghost town. This has made Beelitz-Heilstätten a destination for curious visitors and a film set for movies.

Please excuse the delayed response, this parenthood thing is pretty time consuming! The three of us wanted to thank you all for the lovely messages we're having a blast getting to know each other and couldn't be happier.
Congrats Winchy!

Despite how often I watch it, I don't really like children's television. That said, I rather enjoy peg + cat. The theme song is catchy, too. Not quite up there with Phineas and Ferb, but I don't get to do the choosing.

Nothing's ever even come close to the old Warner Brothers cartoons IMO.

Shaun the Sheep is fantastic, but the kids don't seem to want it, and as I said, I don't get to pick.
Benjamin used to like it, but he's really into trains (Thomas, Chuggington) and dinosaurs (Dinosaur Train- dinos and trains, bonus!) right now. Caroline is into Dora the Explorer and anything with a princess in it. I count myself lucky to get peg + cat at breakfast.
