arnold is snoozing in the shade, obviously dreaming about something sweet!

I think Porkahontas is my favorite.

i guess if i you offered me a million dollars and told me i had to pick a favorite, i would say arnold. they all have such different personalities but he is the most outgoing, not a bit afraid to walk right up to strangers and he's been known to cop an attitude if he doesn't get his way. if i run out of cookies, he will root at my ankles and when i push him away, he horks at me and then flops over for a belly rub. LOL

i have always heard pigs were smart, maybe even smarter than most dogs and i'm really beginning to be a believer. arnold has learned several tricks, his latest being "go up". i have a big log i sit on out in the pig pen. one day, he walked over to me and put his front feet up on the log. i put him back on the ground and told him "go up" (holding a cookie just out of reach) and he put 2 and 2 together instantly. now he does it every time i'm sitting out there, whether i ask him to or not. there are several chunks of wood out there and he will "go up" on command at any of them. it's unbelievably cute how he learns so quickly!!
