I had to stop writing at that point as Porquetta was having a bad night. Poor little piggy. ßhe really cares about her brother, and she is really worried about his safety. She kept on having nightmares and i had to sit up and keep her company most of the night, But , round about 4 am , she had a brain wave! She is going to write a letter to her Congressman about it. Having made that decision she turned over and went to sleep, snoring away merrily, and leaving me to try and find out who her congressman is. It seems to me we have a couple of choices in Northern Va. I know we don't fall in Jim Moran's district, so it must be either Ton Davies or Frank Wolf. I'm not sure who would be more sympathetic to this piggy plight. I have heard rumours that Mr Davies's father was a piper! And that Mr Wolf had some family members involved in house demolition!. Anyway, the important thing is Porky. How is he doing?. This is the first time he has been away from home, totally alone, and among strangers - no offense and i know you all care about him - but he really doesn't know you guys, and it must be pretty scary. And then to have an attempt made on his LIFE! It must be one brave pig who can take that in his stride. I wont embarrass him by asking you to give him our love - but just tell him we asked how he is doing, and hope he has recovered from yesterday's incident.
