Because DH didn't know that he was bringing home a pig that day, he was not prepared with something to bring him home in and ended up bringing him home in a large, plastic garbage can. Wilbur was destined to die as he was the runt of the litter and I guess runts are put down. (I didn't realize this.) So, garbage can or not, that was his lucky day as he got a stay of execution but not for long as we fully intend to put him on our table some day!
Wilbur says hello! This is what he looked like until yesterday. His pig pen got cleaned out last night so he looks cleaner now (below) but actually the pen was warmer for him before. The extra manure and straw gives him a place to burrow down under (hence the dirty nose!) which pigs love to do so we'll have to get a lot more straw in there with winter coming.
