Charlotte's Web - Home with mum dad and my film star pigs

No food today - I am at home with my parents for a night or two and so I thought that I would like you to meet Rosie and Zoe - two of the pigs who starred as Wilbur's from the movie Charlotte's Web.


Mum and dad run their own business and they support a lot of organisations - especially animal welfare/rights groups. About 3 1/2 years ago Animals Australia contacted mum and dad and asked them if they would like to look after two pigs that had been used in the film Charlotte's Web (the one with Dakota Fanning). The producers were looking for good homes for the pigs and so we ended up with 2 of the numerous pigs that played Wilbur in the movie.
Here is dad in front of Mt Roland with Rosie and Zoe.

I love coming home. My parents live on 125 acres of land (a lot of it is bush) and so I enjoy just being able to go for wonderful walks whenever I want.

Here are Rosie and Zoe going for a walk with Playful, the canine member of our family who sadly passed away earlier this year from old age.

when they were little, Playful would watch over them in the paddock.

Rosie and Zoe are now MASSIVE - they are lovely but big and I guess our beautiful girls can sometimes forget how big they are. Mum and Dad feed them food scraps that are given to them by local businesses and friends and family.
