The residents of the Annex have a very eclectic style of landscaping and decorating their homes but one of the oddest things to be found in a front yard is this stone pig who has been in place as long as I can remember. I have never seen anyone coming or going from the house so I have no idea what his story is. A farmer who moved to town and missed his animals? Any ideas?

It's certainly different to having a garden gnome!
No..but i am intrigued now!
I have no idea... I wouldn't choose a stone big for my front yard, but I wouldn't remove it either. Didn't you smile when you saw him?! ;-)
He is rather cute, perhaps the owner collects pot pigs rather like some people collect all sorts of owls and cats.
I don't know the story either, but isn't it kind of funny?
A true pork lover! He likes to eat and thus makes a hog of himself!
A very strange "decoration."
Pigs are amongst the most intelligent of farm animals. Many people have them as pets now, especially the miniature or "pygmy" breed of pigs.
Maybe this is a memorial to a beloved pet, that has departed to pig heaven?
Well-spotted!
At least he doesn't have to fear becoming bacon.
I was thinking along the same lines as Nick, pigs were and maybe still are pretty popular as pets, doesn't George Clooney have one. So maybe this is a tribute to a porky pal!
You have just reminded me of a house I found some time ago with Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs on the front yard. It's beyond kitsch, actually it's the the tackiest thing I've seen, but I think it deserves a photo! LOL!
I can't imagine why this little piggy is living here. I think your former farmer idea is a possibility.
I have no idea, but he's pretty cute!
Dunno, but it sure is a conversation piece. :)
I like it... he could come live in my front yard anytime!
I have that same little creature in my back yard. I just liked him, and it was just different enough to be a cliche garden ornament, and yet not cliche.
