Emma the Trustworthy Girl


So - we had a jail break.  While we were out this afternoon little Mr. broke out of his pen.  He and Emma were in our bedroom together with no other critters.  Thankfully my girl was trustworthy and patient and didn't get angry with the piglet when I am sure he was a pain in the butt nipping at her toes and trying to jump on her.  There are MANY horror stories about bad interactions between pigs and dogs so we have been trying to keep them separated when we are not home to monitor things.  Normally we would have left the piglet in our room by himself but it was stormy out so Emma wanted to be under the bed...

We will need to figure out how to ensure that the piglet not break out of his pen because even though Emma was great today - I don't want to push it.  They were both happy to see us this evening - Emma was ready to be out of the bedroom and Winston was hungry.  Before he ate he had to meet the neighbors - he was a good boy - friendly and social and he did his tricks for an audience - can't ask for more than that...

They are both snoozing now with full bellies...
