Happy Charlie

When we rescued Charlie, Cheyenne and Charlie instantly became best friends. Charlie followed Cheyenne wherever she went and did everything Cheyenne did. This photo is them having their first picnic outside together. Charlie was fascinated when we brought their food bowls outside and set them in the area of the yard where they didn't do their duties. When Cheyenne really wanted to teach Charlie something new she would look at him, give him his "teaching" grunt and proceed to show him something new. Because pigs are extremely intelligent, Charlie learned his new lessons instantly. Watching Cheyenne and Charlie interact together was both heartwarming and entertaining 🥰

When we brought Charlie home he was 3 months old, he only weighed 5 pounds. He was too small to to sleep in bed with us. He loved sleeping in his crib. This is how he stood in his crib in the morning when he was ready to get up and start his day 🥰

Thank you for all of the kind messages about Charlie passing away. Many of you asked me to keep this page active as a memorial to Charlie. I have decided to keep this page active. I will post memories of stories, photos and videos of Charlie and some will include his adventures with Cheyenne. When we rescued Charlie, we had our potbelly pig, Cheyenne, living in our house as a pet. What a wonderful pair Charlie and Cheyenne made. Charlie lived with a rabbit at his previous home. When Charlie came to live with us, he hopped like a rabbit. After 2 days of living with us, Cheyenne taught him how to walk like a pig instead of hopping like a rabbit. There were strict instructions that took place in our living room. My husband was home when this took place. We laughed together, Charlie paid close attention to his instruction. After class concluded, Charlie no longer hopped like a rabbit, he proudly walked like a perfect pig 🥰

This is Penny, Charlie's mom. It is with extreme sadness to tell you that Charlie passed away peacefully today at 2:14 p.m. We would like to thank Dr. Tom Young with High Cliff Veterinary Services, Hilbert, WI, for the compassionate and wonderful care he gave our wonderful Charlie.

I will be closing this page on January 1, 2025. This will give everyone time to connect with other members, to send friend requests, etc.

Thank you so very much for the wonderful support you gave Charlie for the past five years. He was our baby, he took over our hearts the moment we met him.

Rest easy Charlie

Hi Everyone 😊 I received a Valentine's package from my pot belly pig lady friend Bitty. Bitty and I met during the Christmas holiday season in 2022, Oliver the Awesome Pig introduced us during a pot belly pig Christmas gift exchange ❤ Bitty sent me a pillow case with a King's crown, a gray throne with pink decorations, a back scratcher (Bitty knows how I love to have my back scratched), peppermint candies, a Pig Lady Survival Kit for my mom, some really moisturizing lotion for my skin and the most romantic Valentine's day card from Bitty asking me to be her Valentine. Thank you to Melissa Gregory for mailing this wonderful Valentine's package, Bitty isn't allowed to drive the family vehicle to the post office ❤❤❤

Many times Eric and I are asked what it's like having a potbelly pig as a house pet. This is the best answer we have. Charlie doesn't oink, he has many different grunts to let us know what he wants. Pigs love belly rubs. Charlie has a specific "fall down button " . When we rub the button while he's playing, walking, etc he lays down and enjoys his belly rub. Charlie loves it when I braid his bo**ie tussle. Charlie has selective hearing similar to an old married man. When Charlie cuddles and pushes with his bruise makers, we occasionally have bruises in the shape of Charlie's hooves. Charlie has has such a sweet devoted heart. Charlie will do anything for us, he always wants to be with us and he literally appreciates every part of being the center of our world. We love Charlie to the moon 🌙 and back ♥️
