An encounter with the "swine" kind!!

[Elizabeth, Bailey & Bruin]

I found a really pretty park for Bailey and I to walk in the mornings.  A city park with paved walk ways under beautiful shaded trees that is only about 2 miles from my house.

So off we go to explore my new find...walking up the trail and we come around the bend ..I see two shadows on the edge of the woods...I take off my sunglasses and what do we have facing us but two wild pigs...

It scared the crap out of me...Bailey was sitting and she thought she had some new friends that had come to play with her hehe...Then I realized....  the one time that I don't bring my camera hehe...Thankfully I had my cell phone with me to capture the moment before I made a run for it ...

I am a city girl...didn't know if these guys were more afraid of me or the other way around...And I wasn't sticking around to find out !!

 

 

[Anna and Achilles]

OMG! I would have been scared!

[Bonnie and Kona]

OMD! Wild boar are not afraid of you. Glad you got away! Two of them.... EEEEK!

[Jennifer and Jack]

Oh my gosh I have never heard if city pigs before! So glad all is well!

[Carol and Banjo]

OMD....I'd have been too scared to even get a cell phone photo!   You're very brave Elizabeth!   

[Jarka, Monty & Auggie]

Wow, crazy! Good thing Bailey was on leash. Those things can be mean.

[Camilla and Darwin]

Wow, crazy. They look cute in the photo..

[Elizabeth, Bailey & Bruin]

F...you are to funny!!

Jane, Guinness and Murph...she did suprisingly well.  I don't know if she really got a good look at them

Jane, Rooney & Stuart..I live up in Jacksonville. I live in a regular subdivision...Crazy you have wild pigs too!!  Laurie tells me you are for hire.  I'll let the parks service know you are coming to wrangle some wild pork chops

I mean pigs hehe

 

[F, Calla & Luca]

At least life is not "boaring". Glad you escaped and all was well.

I saw a wild pig in one of the Everglades parks down here but the ranger seemed to think it was an abandoned pet and not really wild. :( He was also surprised a gator hadn't gotten it yet.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

OMD, I had no idea there were wild pigs running loose in cities! I'm not sure what JD would do if we ran across this pair, but I think you were very wise not to stick around!

Joanne, LOL:

"I'd also call the city parks department and report that you could not enjoy the public park because of the pigs."

I've had trouble enjoying parks due to pigs, too...but the human variety!
