Hi hi, Rosie and I properly do belong to potbelly pigs forever, I should hope you think. I’m ashamed that we don’t stop in more often, as I always tell my friends that the pig people are my favorite people. All of the potbelly groups have a unique essence (not odor). I really mean that… Whenever I drop in, which is way not enough, I enjoy myself and seriously feel friendship, as well as the daffiness that I so often am. No no, even though I don’t appear to, I love the pig groups, and can sign myself in, or you can, I forget what you said. I’ve been list owner of 3 groups, and I know the problems that can come up. Bird people are much more temperamental than pig people, hehe.
There is another reason that I should drop in more than I do. Rosie is a real character, and I know two mistakes (among thousands) that I have made. One is to get her at two weeks, she was taken from her mother at 1 week. She was so darn cute and so darn tiny, that I didn’t notice that she would prefer to give me the commands and orders. Mostly “feed me right now, or I will do my best to make you miserable”. No doubt that I spoiled her, and I think I will catch the early signs, that her mama would have corrected on. Rosie is my first pig, and they really are very different from the shepherds I had.
My other problem I bet you can also guess…. Treating her for being nice and going potty, etc. I honestly think the doesn’t know she is good unless I treat her. Both problems are under control, thanks to the pig groups. Summer is easier, because she can eat grass and other diet food and putz around outside 3 times a day for several hours. In winter I think she genuinely gets bored, and I don’t think I can get her to like the cold, although I do feed her outside, then the does her duties and comes immediately inside, to get bored.
When Rosie is bored, everyone definitely knows it. Thank the lord that she is my daughter, as I love her even when she is a pain in the neck. In fact, she’s kind of funny. I should make a video of it.
I won’t say she has never threatened me, but I can say that I treat that very seriously, and I will back her down if she becomes a little extortionist. Some if it is really sneaky, like running past me with a little swing of the head that pigs can do. She has never touched me, but I won’t let her “swing” past me. Also, when she is in her great misery, much worse in winter, she’s very vocal, so I know, I either ignore her or keep her backed at a distance. No treats anymore to keep her happy. I’m thinking of car rides next winter. I always did for my shepherds.
No, Rosie is spoiled and can be a pain in the butt, but I love her dearly, and she is a good pig, even if she can be a pain in the butt. She’s kind of especially funny when she’s grumpy, but I’ll never tell her that!
With that, I surely hope you will keep me around, I’ll grovel if need be J. Just tell me if I should start groveling, hehe. If you have time, maybe let me know if you add me, or if I should rejoin. Either way is fine with me.
Finally, I should like to show you her studio picture. She’s had extensive facial surgery, plastic surgery, or whatever y ou call that which rich women get, plastic surgery, I did it to make her look like me. I’m sure you can tell by the picture that not only is she a real beaut, but she also looks almost exactly like me. And her nose came out just fine, not like poor poor Michael Jackson. She’s a real dish, don’t you think?
After writing all this, I think I should send it to the group, after that gets squared away J Regards, hi to all the creatures, is seems the when people like the creatures, they so often get more than one kind. I’ve had just about everything J
Here’s……………….Rosie. Oh… and Ibet you can see how papered she is J
