Paul Mitchell, the Pig by Sandy West, 99 year old resident on Ossabaw Island:


One bright, crisp and heavenly morning I walked down the long back hall of my beautiful old house  and started down steps to the road. At the bottom of the steps was a ruffley black puddle.  As I watched, the black puddle   unfolded and became  a small black piglet  who in time became  Paul Mitchell.  He was named for the famous hair dresser who was badly needed by Paul.

 

Just like our beloved Lucky Pig ,  Paul grew up in the house and accompanied me on every adventure.

 

You know animals will grow up to be what THE ANIMALS  are supposed to be if humans will let them.  I never  tried to make Paul what I thought pigs should be.   He is definately a pig that is himself.

 

He dearly loves a man that works on the island called Richard.  When Richard comes in the morning Paul follows his truck a mile up to my house.  They immediately go under my window and Paul gives Richard's pocket a healthy snout  whack.   Richard then takes his cell phone out of his pocket and  sticks it under Paul's nose.   Paul snorts and growls and chats until Richard removes the phone.    Upstairs, on my cell phone  I hear the operator say “Message finished.  It will be saved for twenty-one days”.

 

Paul scares the shirts off of strangers.  He is so glad to see someone new on the scene that he crashes out of the woods and runs at them.   He really just wants to be kissed.

 

The last story about Paul is my favorite!!!!!!!     A young lady has  recently been living on the island.  She came  quite  a while ago straight from Alaska  with the most  marvelous huge Alaskan dog named Sarah Palin!.

 

One day a total stranger appeared ,walked up to the Club House where our blessed Jim Bitler was sweeping off the porch. 

 

The stranger said  “Oh Sir I've been told that Paul Mitchell and Sarah Palin are here on the island!!!!!!”

 

Jim never looked up from his sweeping and said over his shoulder  “Yeah they are together most of the time.  Just now they are  out  playing  in the marsh.”
