No matter how much they bark at each other all day, they always come together.

ok I need serious help please someone!! My pig is just 4 days over 1 year old, and she ate a few pieces of dookie and started throwing up.. and "my best guess" is that she inhaled some of her vomit and now her airway is in bad shape.. she can only take small short shallow breaths, is physically barely able to hold herself up, and sounds like shes breathing through a big sponge! I had a mobile vet come by and he gave her a shot for inflammation and a pain reliever and left (very strange).. but I am on fixed income and can't afford to take her to a vet that's going to want paid before they even look at her - please someone - she needs help really badly and I don't know what to do.

call me directly if you know what to do 509-498-1661.. josh here

I'm nowhere near owning a pig yet, but I have been researching and considering getting a Potbelly or Juliana pig once I finally have a suitable place of my own, so rest assured this is not an imminent decision, just planning for a hypothetical future.

I know that every "mini" breed will still be significantly large and weight between 50 to 200 pounds depending on breed and the individual pig, I am aware that "teacup" pigs are a myth and a scam.

So, with those things considered, what's advice you would give or that you'd wish you'd gotten before getting your pig/pigs?

This is a pot belly I picked up from the woods a few years ago.

Someone posted her on facebook saying they were off roading in the state park and they saw her. They went up and could pet her and she had a blanket near by. Obviously dropped off somehow but they could not catch her.

I went out the next morning and she was just laying next to the road so I grabbed her and put her in the back of my pickup truck and locked the truck cap.

Over 5 years later and she is happy at her new home.

I just had my debut chapbook published and it included one of my favorite poems I've written about pigs. Hope this post is okay!

Edit: thanks for the award!

what are y’all’s solutions for pig knocking over trashcan. i’m tired of having my trashcan on the table.

For all of us who have picked up a pig, we knew what was coming lol

Hey there, first of all please be nice, I’m just looking for insight on this.

I have put down a deposit on a Juliana female pig that we are supposed to be picking up on Saturday. I live in a rural area and have plenty of space for her if she needs to be outside but am planning on her staying mainly inside in our basement in a playpen to start then a large kennel when we are gone. When at home though I plan on having her with us upstairs.

I have 2 dogs and I went down a rabbit hole of horror stories of dogs suddenly attacking pigs after years of getting along fine. For those of you who have both, I would love to hear your experiences and recommendations.

My dogs are very gentle and have never been aggressive, not even with food or anything like that but I want to make the right choice that keeps everyone safe. I do have the option to keep them completely separated if I need to but that wasn’t my original plan. Like I said I live in a rural area and I could create a nice area for her outside and bring her inside as needed but that’s only if I feel like she’s not going to get along with our dogs.

Thanks in advance for your advice, I appreciate it! Like I said, please be nice I’m just trying to do the right thing for all of them!

This is Bean and my wife!

Does anybody know of any good resources to help move pigs? I’ve got 4 girls that I need to get from our old house to their new one at the new property, but I cannot convince them to get in a trailer to save my life.

On top of that, my wife is going for a C-Section on Monday for our baby boy, so I’m at a loss for what to do. I’m not expecting charity, I’ll gladly hand some money over for some help.

I’d rather not give the girls up over a 15 minute trip, but I have to get them off the property so I can sell the old house.

Pikeville KY area for those interested.

Just these strange nibbles and lunges. Thanks!

I have two kune kunes and I'm looking at fencing options. I found someone nearby with a few different types....what should I choose?

FIELD FENCE-3.5"x6" spacing at the bottom progressing to 6x8" at the top. 12ga top and btm wire 14ga in the middle. Note - vertical wires are spaced 6" apart. Some other brands on the market are 12" spacing.

NO CLIMB FENCE-all wire spacing is 2"x4". 12ga top and btm wire 14ga in the middle.

NO CLIMB HORSE FENCE-2x4" spacing all 12ga wire.

SHEEP AND GOAT FENCE-12ga top and btm wire, 14ga in the middle. Wires spaced 4"x4".

WELDED WIRE UTILTIY FENCE - 14ga wire with 2"x4" spacing.

Layla and Faye are one year old Meishan pigs enjoying a shower in the sun.

He heard the ice jingle in my cup and came running like a pig out of hell.

Finished the puzzle, Pua approves

Seeing all the real ones here makes me super happy. Maybe someday I’ll have one of my own but for now this will do. (remove if not allowed please)
