Six years ago I fostered a pig. 😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰

Six years ago I fostered a pig.  😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰

This is her dreaming in my lap.  Gah, she was a mess.

I wish I could have kept her but when I took her to the vet they told me that she was a 4-week-old farm pig, meaning that she was going to grow BIG.  I did not expect that; I assumed she was someone's lost pet, because why else would there be a pig in my area?  Unfortunately, there was no way I could provide for a pig that would be her size, so I sent her (with the help of quite a few rescue friends) to a sanctuary.  I still think about her often.  In the short time I had her, I got her almost completely house-trained.  She was hilarious.  Touch her any kind of way she didn't like and she squealed like she was being murdered.  What a drama queen.  🤣  I still hope to visit her at the sanctuary one day.  ❤️❤️❤️

I am SO GLAD that this is where Piggy ended up.

I am SO GLAD that this is where Piggy ended up.  Looks like their residents couldn't be any happier.  PIGS Animal Sanctuary is amazing!  ❤

Piggy got into a sanctuary!  I am so happy for her, but I'm missing her already.  ❤❤❤

Heading to bed.

Heading to bed.  Didn't get nearly as much done today as I'd planned.  Was too busy cuddling a pig.  That's ok - housework will always be there.  Piggy won't.  🙁

Had an alright day aside from the dog room flooding some and the dogs freaking out.

The gate worked and though Piggy got her head stuck for a bit - I have no regrets.  She pooped turds again today.  Never thought I'd be so excited to see poop.  😂😂😂  I'm just happy that it was in more of a solid form.

I'm so sleepy and I'm about to get in my bed, but it's hard to sleep with a little Piggy snout pushed up under your door, grunting, trying to call you out of the room.  I'm sure she misses her real mommy and all of the cuddling that came with that, but she's dirty already, I've showered, my room is clean, and I really sleep better alone.  It makes me sad, though.  I wish I could just cuddle her up all the time.  I know she's a pig, but she's a baby pig and all babies need love.  She's bringing out the mothering instinct in me.  💗

Goodnight.  ❤

Boys are home.

Boys are home. Me and Piggy are up. That was nice. 🙂

"Could someone turn out the lights? No? Fine. I'll hide my face under this arm."

Aaand... She's awake.

Aaand... She's awake. First order of business? Scratch dirty little butt on my jeans. Second order of business? Get comfy again. 😂

Sorry, not sorry. I can't stop.

OHMYGOSH!

OHMYGOSH - SHE'S DREAMING!!!

Storm is over. My butt is asleep.

Storm is over. My butt is asleep. And someone doesn't want to wake up. 😃

Pardon the crappy cell pic.

Pardon the crappy cell pic. Storms came up and it was cuddle time.

Piggy is passed out. Warm laps are good. 🙂

I just walked a pig. 🙂

I just walked a pig. 🙂 We had a nice root around in the dirt. She also started eating my grass. Kind of makes me really want to keep her around. 😂😂😂

Shadow called as I was getting off work. Apparently, I fixed the cat gate alright. Piggy couldn't push it down, but she did get her head stuck! She was screaming bloody murder. She was un-stuck by the time I got home, though. THANK GOODNESS. Maybe she'll learn to leave that gate alone.

For now we're just hanging out. Storm just rolled up so she's draped across my lap again - muddy nose and all. I'm gonna need a shower tonight. 😃

Piggy still has diarrhea.

Piggy still has diarrhea.  I'm starting to think it's not what she's eating, but that's she's sick.  Although, she did bust down the cat gate AGAIN last night.

I wised up and attempted repairs on the gate so she HOPEFULLY cannot push it down again.  It's up pretty tight.

If she's not better by this weekend we're heading back to the vet to be checked out.  I can't clean it up as fast as she can let it loose when she's got diarrhea.  🙁  Any other time she's great, but this is horrible.

I'm picking up some canned pumpkin on the way home from work today.  Maybe that will help.  Anyone with other suggestions, please let me know.

Crating her is out - she would most likely still poop in the floor.  They back up to things to do their business.  Putting her outside isn't an option at the moment, either.  My fence isn't super secure and I hate leaving animals outside unattended because people can be terrible.  I'm more concerned with making her feel better.  ❤

Man, everyone must have stressed out when the storms came through today. 😕

There was some destruction in the dogs' room.  Nothing I care about, thank goodness - which is the whole point of that room.  Piggy knocked the cat gate down again, but thankfully did NOT eat ALL of the cat food.  I'm sure she did eat some, though.

When I got home the whole house was quiet.  No greetings from anyone.  Piggy snorted at me from under her coffee table cave.  She eventually came out and sneezed a giant glob of snot onto my shirt.  😂😂😂  I guess that's what I get for not being here to hold her.

Poor ani-pals.  This weather is so rough on them.  🙁

Piggy Pics!; She became of Resident of PIGS Animal Sanctuary on 07/28/14

Foster Piggy.  Yes, seriously.  LOL

Da feetses.  😳

She was totally passed out right here.  Storms are scary.  She needed some lap time.

How she slept through the storms the other night.

This is how she slept through the storms.  She doesn't quite fit, but that didn't stop her from napping.  LOL
