Their pens are also nice and big - the twelve I fostered have a pen bigger than my back yard at Crofton. <br />Potbellied pigs can be trained to walk on harness, so some pig owners with single indoor pigs do take them for walks. Usually when they have a herd, the pigs keep themselves amused pretty well. One of Janice's pigs sometimes goes to schools and other educational events - and even plays a toy piano!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08231007979360748217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041437999194031830.post-66216710373699720132012-03-08T21:06:05.234-08:002012-03-08T21:06:05.234-08:00Thank you for the piggy story!

Poor babies to get dumped but at least they're not bacon (though I love my bacon too.)<br /><br />Interesting that they recognise and remember you. I know that pigs are supposed to be heaps smarter than dogs but I never thought much about their emotional lives. Do they get walks and such at the shelter? Or do they just eat and sleep? <br /><br />Good stuff. Thanks again xgeorgia little peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01388133043071314431noreply@blogger.com
