My son Jimmy Dean
I am the mother to an absolutely adorable yet sometimes feisty and moody mini pig. My son's name is Jimmy Dean. He is my first pet pig. When I initially got him I was extremely overwhelmed, not going to lie. I have been accustomed to being a "dog mom" throughout the years. I do not have any children so when they say that pigs display the personality of a toddler, they weren't kidding. My portly pink son likes to be a "Nosey Ned" and gets into … [Read More...]

Mini Pig Books: Reviews
Pet Pig Books Reviewed
I finally finished reading all three of the book that I have found about pet pigs. Even though some people refer to pet pigs by different names, like teacup pigs, micro pigs, mini pot bellied pigs and so on, they are ultimately the same thing, a pet pig. The first book, and I have to say my favorite is by Priscilla Valentine. You may also know her as the mom to Nellie,who she claims was the World's smartest pig. I have to admit, she is one of the reason that I wanted a pet pig to begin with. Watching her videos on YouTube ( which you can see by clicking here), made me want to run right out and get my own so that I could train it to be just like Nellie.
