Cape Cod: Day 1

A pig heading off to Cape Cod is a rare sight. But what's even more rare is a pig heading to Cape Cod that's named Perky...with another pig, Don Don, and a hippo named Billy Bob. Not to mention a duck named Skittle.


"Perky, I think you're sitting on my head..."- Billy Bob

The trio started off the day by hitting the shipyard, in awe of all of its fishing boats. Billy Bob was too scared of the water, so Perky and Don Don braved the rock alone.

"Don't worry, Don Don, I've got you,"

Back on dry land, Perky and Billy Bob had a snack of fried bean mix. Needless to say, it was clear who was going to later have the runs.

"Billy Bob, I think I smell your farts already....this isn't supposed to give you gas!!!!"

The gang headed to Veterans Park Beach, where the sand was slightly rocky. Perky chose to walk on the rocks instead, where the sound of the surf was quite comforting.

"Whew, this wind is cold..."

As a joke, Don Don, Billy Bob and Skittle decided to bury Perky up to his head in the sand. They'd hadn't had any fun all day, and burying Perky was one of the funniest things they'd done by far.

"This isn't funny, guys. I'd like to get out of here. Guys..? Billy Bob? Skittle?? HEY! NO! YOU COME BACK HERE..."

With a few threats, Perky managed to convince Billy Bob to dig him out of the hole. He then started looking for seashells, picking up only the shiny ones. After a half hour, he plopped down, tired as a pighog.

"Ooh....I think this one's still alive..."

What better way to burn more energy than to go to a playground? Better yet, the playground was only a few years away. With a giant jungle gym, no less. But Perky wasn't counting on Don Don being afraid of heights. This made it pretty hard to get him off.

"Don't look down, Don Don!"

It took a few tries (not to mention an hour and a half) to coax the poor teacup pig from his spot. When he got down, Perky vowed never to take Don Don to Mount Everest. Not on his watch. After a quick lunch, Perky and Don Don went biking at Nickerson State Park while Skittle and Billy Bob went kyaking.

"I can't reach the handle!" Perky
"I can't reach the pedals!!!" -Don Don

The swampland behind them seemed very tempting to Perky, and Don Don had to remind him that he was a sophisticated pig. So Perky had to make do with taking a picture.

But all was forgotten when Perky saw the dinosaur horn. He just HAD to squeeze it, whether it was his or not.

"*SQUEAK* Teehee!"

At this point, Perky was in a trying mood. So of course, he had to try on multiple helmets. Even though this wasn't a store.

"Does anyone think this makes my head look fat?"

Don Don , of course, did anything that Perky did-he'd become Perky's little shadow. It turns out he didn't fit the helmet so well, though.

"Oh my gosh! It's the Grand Canyon!"

What a tiring day for Perky it was. He was so tired, he ended up falling asleep right in the helmet. Don Don, the wonderful little (literally) pig he was, decided not to disturb him, leaving him for the next day.
