My pot bellied pig is sick, need help

[chilling in muscadine]

Stormy hasn't kicked her addiction to the pepsi yet but we are working on it. I only cave a couple of times a day and the amount is limited that she gets. I know I am the enabler. Does any one know of a 12 step program for this?

I have raised my coffee table for the time being, it looks tacky but Stormy can no longer get up there and wreck havick.

I wish I had it on video the look on her face the fisrt time she tried to get on the table after I raised it. It was priceless.

I am working on teaching Stormy what the word "no" means. I never had to do this with her older sister Petunia b/c she never does anything to be told no. What a sweetie she is.

I wish I didn't have dial up b/c I would post some video of Stormy in a pepsi begging frenzy. Is that funniest video show still around? I beleive we could win that.

I'd love to see that video!

Got anyone else that could upload it for you? Toof unny about the coffee table, I wonder if you could make the pepsi taste bitter or something so she loses interest.


Thanks for the update

I wish I did know someone who could upload it for me. We are in rural Alabama and most folks are on that dirt road type living. Kinda redneck hillbilly I guess. Everybody has a shotgun on there gun rack in there pick up though lol.

I'm a writer and I am putting together a short story to send to pepsi. Maybe it will brighten someones day and make them laugh. I know I sure have.

The news of Stormys AKA Bountys addiction has spread through the area. This seems to be the topic of conversation for the week. lol

People we don't know are asking us about it at the local country store. Now to me since I am origanally from the city is funnier than what my quicker slupier upper is doing.

ONLY because you have already received helpful responses I will not continue to suppress my urge to say

"could it be swine flu?"

Thanks for your concern. The vet said it could be the swine flu and that Stormy may get it to but she didn't. The vet also didn't hear about the salad dressing party the pigs and dogs had while I was sleeping. The more I think about it and the more I have researched illnesses for pigs the sudden change in diet could have made sweet Petunia sick. I can only imagine the amount of sodium she had eaten. I'm just grateful she pulled through.

Well Stormy is still hard at work trying to make me give her a dose of pepsi. It has become a battle with her. Why can't she be sweet like Petunia is?

Yesterday Stormy changed her stragedies{sp} on her pepsi getting abilities. She started rooting my feet. During her sessions she will have both my feet so wet that a sham wow wouldn't dry it up.

IDK what I'm gonna do with this girl.

She is also pitching a fit now because she can no longer get on my cofee table. She is learning what the word "no" means, something I never had to do with Petunia because she never does anything wrong.

I feel like I have a baby in the house because when Stormy is asleep I do everything I can to keep from waking her up.

Between her foot fetish/rooting sessions and begging for pepsi she is wearing me out.

Well I thought I would update ya'll on Miss Stormy. She still does get Pepsi but it is in moderation. She gets around 2 ounces maybe a couple of time a day. Thats like a couple of shot glasses full. This seems to apease her or atleast keep her from pitching a fit that no 2 years old has ever pitched. I know I should have stopped it all together but......

Anyway she has finally figured out that I can out last her fit pitching and I have also taught her what the word "no" means and she does know this word and will stop whatever it is she is doing.

My Petunia doesn't have a clue what the word means. I guess I will have to wait until she does something wrong to teach it to her.
She is still just as sweet as the day I got her.

Last night my SO was telling Stormy "stop, stop, stop, stop." Stormy was rooting his foot. He finally said to me "I thought you taught her what this means. I had to inform him I taught her what "no" means, not stop. He then said "stop" and she did right away.

Stormy has definately been an adventure in my house. Lets just say with her around its never boring. I have decided to teach my girls a new word ever few days. My girls are so smart and I think it will be alot of fun doing it.

I gotta get some new pic posted soon.
