New addition!! (different kind)
Ok, so Rachel and I are pet people. We have 3 dogs, a POS cat, 3 fish tanks, and a large turtle bin set up. Some of the household, some of the sea, some of the lake, and .....Well...... here is our newest addition!
We just got him today. He's only 4 days old, but the girl who had him was already bottle feeding him anyhow. Rachel had one when she was younger, so she wanted another one.

Thanks guys. I was up all night worried about the little guy. And fortunately he doesnt have to worry bout being meat since me and Rachel dont eat meat lol. Im not quite sure how to train them either, but people say a mature pb pig is as intelligent as a 5 year old child.
This should be fun. He will be wearing a small (or not so) eagles jersey for his entire existance lol.

tell him to do something, if he doesnt do it, show him a pound of bacon, he'll get the idea pretty quick.

I dont eat meat, so I dont have any in the house. And I doubt he'd be threatened...

Lol. Now we just need to name him. I almost got the name "mac" to stick. We were driving in the car, and he had his thizz face on. And I like Mac Dre, and Rachel likes Mac make up, so I thought i could double up the useage. But I guess it didnt stick... Now for a good name.

One of my aunts had a pet pig (regular porker kind) back in the 50's. He was housetrained just like a dog. She named him "Lige" after one of her great-uncles she didn't like.
