Meet My Piggies

[Exxiilem]

So as many of you may already know, I am mommy to three little pigs. <3 Well, one of them isn't so little, but you get my point. I thought I would share some pictures of my little lovlies.

First up is my big boy Pigmy, he is three and a half years old, and is the biggest cuddle buddy in the entire world. He unfortunately was not able to make the move with me when I left my mother's house, so he stays with her and Skypes me every night. Pigmy is an American Satin, he was bought from PetSmart in 2011. He has been wonderfully cared for and is spoiled rotten beyond all belief.

The second appearance to be made is by one of my newest additions, Ikaros. She is a one year old Sheltie, and was rescued from a home in which she wasn't properly cared for. Her previous owners seemed pretty unaware of all the special care piggies need, so she came to live with me about three days ago. She is happy as can be here, and even popcorned this morning!

Finally, we have little miss Nymph. She is a six month old American Satin, and like Ikaros was rescued from the same home. This little girl is sweet, but she has a rotten streak through her. She is the obvious dominant of my two sows, but she will not hesitate to come running for some of her favorite snacks.

Your pigs sound lovely. Don't think your photos have worked. You should be able to post them using photobucket or the drag and drop facility on here.

Sounds like Nymph may have ideas of being top sow.

That's better, I can see them now. They are beautiful pigs.

Gorgeous! Glad the girls are with you! And getting plenty of loving!

The big boy.... What a handsome fella!

Thank you, so much. I love my little ones.

I was wondering though, is Pigmy a normal size? His length is from my fingertip to my elbow with some room left to measure. That puts him at over a foot long, and he weighs so much, too.

I am also proud to report that in two days the girls have been with me, they also aren't running into their houses as often. Ikaros will even let you pet her on occasion.
