Ft Worth we have a problem

It looks like we will not be getting a guaranteed ribbon. Bella is showing signs of stress. We thought she was just stiff from laying around and it being cold, but we were informed by the people beside us that she was stressing. Evidently, this is a hereditary defect and can be brought on traveling and noise. Looking back, I remember her acting strange Friday after we clipped them. Only we have never had a pig strss on us. We have only had one other set of pigs (Picklez & Shelby) and they never had any problems. I am thinking she needs some medicine to get over this and from reading the rules many times, I know we can not give any sort of medication and still show or risk being barred from competition. As disappoining as it is, we will pull Bella from this show and get her ready for Houston. She will not be ready for San Antonio. So, hopefully, she can be shown. Madison is not too disappointed, she really does not like to be in front of a crowd. Now, I just need to make sure she stays calm so we can bring her home.
