Hi friend!!

Hi Deb OK quick how many fingers am I holding up

Well, my mom is now thinking she might send Sephora back to the breeder, sigh. We've only had her five days and already she wants to give up because last night she was upset when she got put to bed and she keeps getting out of her room because they didn't buy actual gates to keep her in. So now the gates for her came in today but they don't want to open them and set them up because they might send them back if they're not keeping her.

I think it's too soon to be throwing in the towel, especially over something so little as her crying a little at bedtime and her getting out because she's not properly contained. But it's not my decision.

Anyway, that's just my rant of the evening. Now I have to try not to get too attached to her because they might send her back but they also want me training her, so I just don't know. Since pigs are so smart her target training has been coming along great, too, sigh.

How come you can take a nap but Not GIVE a nap....

Up here, we call giving someone a nap "hitting them over the head with a club". Don't know what you'd call it down there.

Baby throws a tantrum at bedtime and doesn't want to stay in bed... hmmm....

Sorry, had to laugh... interesting how some people like the IDEA but not the REALITY of a new responsibility...

She may be lonely. Try putting a stuffed animal in with her to snuggle. A stuffed pig would be ideal.

Good looking dogs!
Mom, Riley. Dad, Leo, and Aslan.
The pick of mom is after her last litter so she's a bit on the thin side.
