Growing up on a farm, I always enjoyed bottle feeding and playing with the runts that we brought in the house!! The first runt that became mine all mine was “Mary Jane” – she visited school, played chase, and lived in a doghouse in the backyard and at 600 plus pounds she still was very much my gentle pet. When I was teenager, I won “Earlene” in a greased pig contest. I trained her to sit, lay down, and do other tricks with her favorite food – bananas! She loved belly rubs! As she approached 500 plus pounds, I brushed and wished my “pet” could be smaller. That’s about the time potbellied pigs entered the news and I dreamed of the day I could have a pig in my house! That day came when I was in vet school at Auburn. I got Prissy! She lived in my duplex and became famous at Auburn Vet School! Since then I have had Ellie, Annie, Pixie, Pepe, Nelly, Petunia, Dottie, and George – all raised in the house and spoiled rotten. Besides being cute – pigs are so smart! You would be amazed what they can learn to do! Pixie even went to work at my veterinary clinic everyday with me. She learned to go to the door with her canine “sisters” and ask to go out to the bathroom.
George is the newest addition to our piggy family. He came from Texas and is named after George Strait who also is from Texas. George comes from very tiny genetics and he is so sweet, but is a Momma's boy.
I plan to breed George with the girls and will have tiny babies in the next year to sell – unless I decide to keep them all!!!
