I admit - it's not much of an adventure - but everything's relative, right? This is a pig that spent the last couple of years of her life in an x-pen in a laundry room, on linoleum.
My pigs - past & present
... which began as a journal of one rescued pot-bellied pig's weight loss, and evolved into a compilation of all things porcine!

In Memoriam: Daisy
Daisy was the inspiration for this blog, which was started to document her progress after arriving at our farm in May 2007. At the time, she weighed 275 lbs, had badly overgrown feet, and was not able to walk without difficulty.
In her seven months with us, Daisy lost 75 lbs, and was enjoying new-found mobility.
Following a sudden, severe illness, Daisy was euthanized Sunday, December 23, 2007. Post-mortem revealed septicaemia of unknown origin.
Many thanks to all who supported us on her journey ...
