I have planned to call this young gentleman Mr. P aka Mr. Piggy, we arrived at the pig farm, and I got to see a new litter of 3 day old piglets, (o My GOD cute), some expecting females, and some of the rest of the pigs. Finally I was directed to the trailer and told he was in the back and he was mad..

So I got my first look at my new boy and he looks back at me with a glint in the eye and snort of the head, now Miss Piggy has not been raised with other pigs and in truth I don’t remember this with her mother, or the other two female’s with her dad but many of the pigs had their ears bite (I can’t help but wonder if more space is needed at the feeding trays) but needless to say, he had been raised in a little boy pack herd of intact up an coming males, and he looked like a toughy from the street compared to my little lady Miss Piggy.. So there went the name of Mr. P and in came a tough boy name of Angelo, aka Angie when he is good boy and Angelo when he is a smuck..

Now the loading was eye popping at the work done to get him in, I could not see, but there was thumping, squealing and finally he was loaded and just sat down as the door was closed.. Quick, Quick shut the door was the order so we did..

Offer we headed home, and he was a perfect gentleman, a soft snort now and again, he took a little snack, and when we got home, we unloaded him from the truck and put him on the sled and hauled him down the path to the barn with one pulling and one keeping the crate steady, he just watched the world go by, at the barn door, we picked up the crate and carried him to his pen door, no issues, openned the pen, opened the door, he walked in, and walked over to water area, looked around and stuck his head into his fresh straw bedding and started rooting around..

So far, so good, he might look like an Angelo but he has been an angel since we got him home 🙂 He is just coming six months of age and will need to grow a little before I will consider introducing him to Miss Piggy, right now he is in his own pen for a few weeks to make sure that he is healthy and to give him time to settle in and get use to our routine.

He will need to learn to like treats, and I think it will take some time for me to get him used to being touched and given some back rubs, but he will have to look to me or Dh for the next while if he wanted contact so that will help he come round nice and fast.  Miss Piggy watched with interest and they are keeping up a talking contest back and forth across the barn alley.
