Meet Our New Addition


The day finally came when it was time to bring home our baby, our baby pig that is. So, after work we drove to Cathy's Critters. Let me tell you, she has every kind of animal out there. From kangaroos, and lemurs to chickens, pigs and every other normal farm animal.

First, we build a fenced in area for the pig.


We had to make sure that pig could not escape!

Then, we made the drive out to Cathy's Critters to choose our pig.


They had a lot of cute animals. Including this tiny goat running around with the pigs.

We had a couple friends come with us on this big day. Here is Brad holding her!

Kelsey and Brad in the back taking care of the pig on the ride home.


When we got home we let her outside. That was a big mistake! She ran all over the backyard, and crawled under the fence into the side pasture. We were afraid she was going to escape! I bet it looked pretty funny with four adults chasing after a little pig. They are pretty fast, even with their small legs!

Finally we caught her!

Isn't she so cute?



She LOVES to have her belly scratched. When you start doing it she will just fall over on her side, close her eyes and make cute little sounds. It is pretty funny! She also will run around when she is playing. The dog and the pig actually get along pretty good too. 


Who knew having a pig would be so fun!

    1. Why would I get a kangaroo?? They were probably like $500 anyway.

  3. A Kangaroo would be pretty awesome! And I'll admit the little piglet is pretty cute! But I'm wondering how I'll feel when it's full grown!

  4. Thanks Ashley! She is pretty cute. And Jessica that's why you have to get them when they are babies... So you still think they are cute once they are full grown.
