It is surprising what one's creations get up to once out of the studio and living with a new patron (my friend Jarold Sole managed to capture this unusual activity):

Dear Angela: Attached are some photos of our boar. For her, one day is about the same as the one before. Typically, she wakes up, uses the bathroom, has her morning coffee -- or two -- and goes outdoors to enjoy the sunshine and visit with her pals Fergus & Angus. Exhausted,  she comes back indoors for a nap. Once refreshed, she goes back outside to walk through the gardens and maybe munch on some snails. When she learns that evil Angus is distracted, she makes time for the more handsome Fergus. That arouses her appetite, so she comes inside for some lunch. When finished, she returns to her perch on the wall. And there she hangs, for the rest of the day for us all to enjoy.
