    About this ebook

    Chuck Taylor was born in 2013 and moved in with his new family weighing just 6 pounds. Passing himself off as a “micro mini” pig that would only grow to be 25-30 pounds, his family was shocked as Chuck Taylor hit 250 pounds by age three. He spends most days sleeping or begging for food. He’s a little scared of strangers (unless they have food) and hides when company visits. Chuck is very clean, calm, and smart. He will sit for food and go to bed when asked, but is very stubborn, feeling he is above performing silly tricks to amuse humans. He loves to snuggle and get his belly scratched, but his real love is food...any and all food, especially chips.
    In his spare time, Chuck Taylor participates in “Kiss the Pig” events to help raise money for local elementary schools. He has been a great addition to the Carvajal family.
    In this book, Chuck Taylor and the little ant play a game loved by generations. Hold still and no laughing...no matter how much it tickles!
