Close Human-pig Bond

PopcornPigs · Dec 13, 2015

Does anyone have a piggy which they have a particularly close bond with? I rescued little wills when he was young and v unwell. . Unable to walk, malnourished, no teeth etc and through making him better/bringing him up we have always had a good connection. I love our special bond, I can always count on him for a good cuddle and kisses. I love this picture of us together relaxing.

Aww that's so lovely!

I have a particularly close bond with my Roddy. I guess because 1 my dads name is Rodney and 2, he has an op a few weeks after I got him, and 3, he's lost several friends so had lots more attention during the time he's been on his own.

He's come out for walks with us, camping, trips out in the car, film nights, meals at the table lol. I'll find a nice picture of us together!

My closest bond was with Nigel, and I had a close bond with Rosie too. Of my current pigs I would say I have the closest bond with Tim.

My two guinea pigs are my children and we have such a special, amazing bond. I think a lot of people on this forum may understand that bond but my family and friends think I'm nuts!

I totally understand Sian25. My pigs have their own bedroom and people often think I'm crazy.. It's all neat and tidy and clean, I don't see what the problem is! They can be a lot nicer than children as they don't complain :p

@PopcornPigs my guinea pigs have their own bedroom too. The master bedroom with an ensuite bathroom hahaha

Haha well that's a lot more luxurious than my pigs' single bedroom!

My closest bond was with Noodles who passed back in August - since then Bumble has taken oven and is now my cuddliest pig - he has become more cuddly since all his operations.

Oh god I completely forgot Millie Moo, we have a wonderful bond, she doesn't do cuddles (would rather take my arm off) but she is so tame in every other way and comes up to me and put her paw on my foot when I was upset, so I have her pawprint tattooed on the exact spot.

@helen105281 that is absolutely adorable. Have you got a picture of your tattoo?

It is an exact print so didn't come out that well as she is a fidget bum so only has 3 toes ha ha. I like it though as I know it is her exact foot.
