Making New Friends and Speading a Message of Compassion

I love visiting Yankee Candle.  Not only do I get to walk around and meet all kinds of wonderful people.  But I also get to make lots of new friends who do me the huge favor of reading my buttons.  This little girl was quick to point out that my button on my piggy outfit said 'Pigs are friends not food.'  And so did a lot of other people.  Some people asked about having a pig in their family, so my dad gave them a pamphlet on the challenges and joys of a pig family member and also explains the benefits of adopting one of the many adult pigs who need homes.    And for many people, I'm the first pig they've met in person.  Hopefully I make a good impression and they'll keep me in mind when making the decision to love pigs and not eat them.  That's my piggy dream!
