Hi everyone! I recently became a piggy mom on Sept. 11th. I adopted my very first pig, Don Vito Santino (usually just Santino, unless he's in the mood to be addressed formally) from a guy on Craigslist that was so desperate to get rid of him that he brought Santino all the way to me (car problems...can't go and "fetch" my own)!!
Santino is around 2 years old and, as far as I know, has never had a cage mate. I posted a question about his behavior on craigslist and a very wonderful girl answered my question and we became friends! She directed me to this site, so I made an account and totally forgot that I never introduced myself, so I am now AngieKay is the girl, and I made sure to let them know that she brought me here.
Not only is she a wealth of information, she also gave Santino his first buddy!!! Barney came to us a few weeks ago and he is around 8 months old. He's an American breed and Santino is what we believe to be a Silkie, so these two together make a darling pair.
Thanks to Angie, my Santino has a great friend, I have a great friend and she always knows the answers to everything I ask, so you all have a great forum member!
I do have some questions that I will be posting here, but not in this area, as I know they don't belong here. Once I find the appropriate area, be on the lookout!
I really look forward to getting to know everyone here and I look forward to reading more and as much as I can. I really should say that out of all the animals I've ever owned and all the research I have done on said animals, this forum has to be the most extensive one I've ever seen for any animal. Truly! It's brilliant and I'm so glad she brought me here!
