I adopted a piggy!

This is Riley, a little rescued piggy. When I saw his cute little face on FarmSanctuary.org I couldn't resist. He needed my help! I hope one day I can go visit him and romp around the farm. Click below for his story.

Buddy progress update

 

When we first brought him home he was afraid of most things and very unsure of the house. The backyard and the kitchen were the only places he wanted to go. He also didn't want to be bothered by the 2 dogs and 6 mo old kitten. With a lot of patience and letting him explore at his own pace, he now roams the house freely and happily. He now also gets along with all the other animals in the house. I am so proud of the accomplishments he has made. He went from growling at the kitten to allowing him to attack his wagging tail. He either ignores it or plays with him by gently pushing him around the floor with his nose. It's the cutest!

Buddy is a low-medium energy dog. He's perfectly content with just hanging out with the family most of the time. But if you take him for a walk, he will be overjoyed! We've done a little leash training. Once the walk gets started, the leash is fairly loose. He responds to the slightest correction if he starts to pull. He knows the commands to sit and lay down.

All in all, Buddy is a gentle soul and a joy to have in my home. He is incredibly well behaved and will learn whatever you want for just some human affection. He is an absolute people lover and would make a great companion for anyone.
