National Pig Day!

My mom informed me that today is National Pig Day! When she said this there was only one pig that came to mind. Borris. Borris is the pet of my friends Erin and Tj. In this picture he was only 6 months old and now he’s around 3. They’ve taught him all sorts of tricks. I never realised how much character a pig really has until I met Borris. Everyone use to scare me with horror stories of how he’d bite me and stuff. But when I finally got the guts to get near him he was actually the one who came to me. He sat down right next to me as I played “Lord of the Rings” video game with Erin. I think Pig Pets can be fun. They are also a lot of hard work though. This piggy lives inside so Erin and Tj’s house is kid proofed. They have blocked off the kitchen with boards at the bottom so that Borris won’t go in. Also when he wakes up making his little pig noises in the morning they have to get up and feed him and let him out. Borris has also had problems with one of his back legs. They took him to a vet to fix it and the vet messed it up even worse. The wood floors that he might slip on when he misses the carpet cause his leg to do this sliding thing and it scares me every time. This pig certainly is awesome. Pot Belly Pigs are hard to take care of but they are well worth it.
