Labor Day and the Pigs Become Hogs

Funny.  These small, lively agile piglets arrive in spring.  They dig, eat and romp.  As they get bigger they become "the pigs."

But then, sometime around Labor Day and 200 pounds, they become hogs. 

 Hog is not bad; it is big.

They still run (especially when startled or when there is a feed bucket approaching) and romp and play, but they are large and imposing animals that have come into their own and demand respect
