Should I get another pot belly pig?

[bayyjayy]

So, I got the cutest dang pig a couple of months ago.....I feel so sad for him, sometimes to the point of tears because I feel that he is lonely. He is outside but we go out numerous times a day to spend time with him. My dogs hate him, even though he thinks it is all in good fun! (they are shih tzus). He runs with the ducks and geese but they are running from him not with him. I have a ball and a tote out in the yard that he pushes around, but I really feel like he is lonely. He comes to my backyard quite often and squeals.... sometimes he is squealing out in the pasture. My heart hurts for him when he is just walking around. I have thought of getting a chicken for him.....,my neighbor just lost her PBP and she has two chickens that used to like to lay with her pig......was thinking of asking her if she would give me one or both of them, but not sure. And then I wonder if I should rescue a pig to give him a playmate. Do I really want two pigs? Is it that much more of a bother than just having one??

Comments? I appreciate any and all opinions.

Thanks so much.

If you have the room and money to feed another, why not? But I would try to get one equal in age, size and temperament.

My girl was happier when it was just her. They fight at meal time and my first pig was a lot friendlier before I got the second pig. The two I have sleep together but that is it. They are hardly ever near each other in the pasture. Hard to say which is better.

Thanks for your replies.......I appreciate it.

I think I have decided to just stay with the one......I need to not worry so much and give him all the attention we can during the day.

Thanks again for the replies.
