here are some pics of our potbellied pig, Duckie. Duckie is our 4 YO DS pet. We went to a swap on his birthday last fall and my MIL said she would buy him whatever pet he wanted that we would allow. When he looked up at me with those sweet little eyes and said, 'Mommy, I want a pig for my birthday--THIS pig and I'm gonna name him DUCKIE!' I just could NOT tell him no. Yes, I am a sucker but I love my son! Truth be told, he is SO sweet and S-M-A-R-T!! he listens and behaves better than all three of our dogs most of the time. All three of the kidlet's adore him, even the neighbor kids love playing with him. He is currently inside (and housebroken) but will be moving to some new outside digs, soon as we get it all built. I'd love to give him a companion, specifically, a pygmy goat (male, wether) but in all of the research I've done I can't seem to figure out if they would be good companions, anyone out there have any suggestions/ideas?
this was from the day we got him, Oct 10. That's Jack (the birthday boy) in the pic, Duckie 'belongs' to him. note how TINY he is...
this was a few weeks later, duckie moves SO fast it was hard to get a pic.
this was sometimes during winter, ONLY in my house will you ever witness a dog, a pig and a 2 YO sharing a snack of petzels in total harmony!
and lastly, here's one 'up close and personal' taken by Jack...
