Hogs?

I was fixing breakfast this morning when I noticed Bear and Dove (Airedales) staring out the window. Something outside obviously had their attention. My old eyes aren’t what they used to be, and it took me awhile to find it. Two animals were out in the field behind my house, and I couldn’t get a good clear look as there were a few bare tree limbs in the way. My first thought was that they were either dogs or deer, but they didn’t move just right for either. Their heads were down like they were grazing, which left dogs out, but they didn’t move just right for deer either. They remained in one area for several minutes, but I never could get a good look at them, and they were to far away for the old eyes anyway. They finally began to move off in a trotting kind of gait. PIGS! I don’t know of any of my neighbors who have pigs, and there aren’t any wild ones around here either that I know of; but I sure think that is what they were.
