Finally, I have made some progress in the physical contact with piglets department. Yesterday, while pen cleaning, I managed to sneak a scratch in on Truffle's withers. Despite worming, he seems a little thin-coated there, and the skin is a bit thick (Note to self: Do a fecal and re-worm). In any case - he's *itchy* there - and boy, did he like being scratched. He went immobile and lapsed into an almost trance-like state as I scratched him all over. I tried to suggest a belly-rub, but he's not quite ready to let his guard down *that* much - yet!
