Our Mini Pig Family. In California Mini Pigs are Cutest!
Best Friends & 3 Little Pig Siblings
That's me, Chip, whispering sweet nothings in my best friend Morgan's ear. She really loves me most. And those are my two sisters, Delle (we are "chipmunks," or Brindles) and black and white Baby Bear. When she has piglets I think I'll call her Mamma Bear.
A family that eats hay together will stay together.
Hi, I'm Morgan. Kitty raised me from a pup to be family. I protect my family from intruders and predators. I'm quite a pig when it comes to fighting for my share of hay. My friend Chip is in front of me with Baby Bear (black and white). Gray and white striped Hamilton is behind me by my mom, Kitty.

Hey, got Hay?

Morgan and Kitty
Kitty raised Morgan, now her companion and shepherd dog. They love to snuggle, especially by the wood stove in cold weather and sleep together. Morgan went through Kitty withdrawal when Kitty had her first 3 little piglets when mama pig and piglets were separated in their own insulated, heated shed. Morgan protects her mom and other pigs and piglets. When Kitty has babies Morgan sleeps with them to make sure no piglets get squished. Not all dogs get along with pigs. Some can't be left alone.

Hi, I'm Panda!
I am undoubtedly the most mellow and friendly snuggler. I'm expecting babies tonight, so, gotta go back and tear things up just a little bit to make my nest. We just have to!
Scent Training
Pigs have more sensitive noses than dogs. They love learning new challenges to keep them active, hunting and ... getting treats for it.

Alvin, Dottie n 'Pachie snuggle in. This little litter got very used to being held, snuggled and talked to sleep even with bedtime stories. See them fall fast asleep on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaTLT-FiW-k&list=UUVL8KHUYIDwf693DmXrqnXQ&index=43

Mini Lap-Pigs
The only thing these piglets like better than their mama pig is snuggling each other and especially snuggling each other in your arms or lap. "Tell us a story and we'll go to sleep."
