I had the privilege of reminiscing about some of my antics while being a pig parent last night. Here's a small photo dump. Ranging from June 2017 to January 2022.

There were a ton of ups and downs, but I wouldn't trade the memories, the photos, or lessons learned for anything in the world.

Did you know that pigs lack the "off" button in their stomach?

Imagine eating and your body never tells you you're full. That's exactly what happens in a pig's body. It's why most indoor pigs who have a set routine will throw temper tantrums when they're thrown off.

In the wild, a pig will spend 25-42% of their active time grazing, rooting, or grinding (seeds). Consistently moving, but almost always filling their mouths and subsequently their bellies with something.

If a porcine had the "off" button they wouldn't be as active. Lack of activity would mean packing on the weight. Packing on the weight then affects the joints and tendons of pigs.

As an agile prey mammal, they need to maintain a "fit" physique. The fit physique is a balance of their activity, nutrition, and environment. An environment that lacks proper nutritional value requires movement to a new area.

Pigs will go for roots, grubs, fruits, veggies, and forage (grass) until their space is cleared. Moving on to a new area to do the same until they cycle back to the first spot after it's had time to reestablish. While wild pigs can be destructive, what they're doing is a natural cycle of environmental management.

Three of my goats. Left is Quasi, middle (brown) is Petey, and right (black and white) is Ollie with his single horn.

Ollie was disbudded as a kid and after grew only the single horn to that length. That didn't stop him. He was the main contributor to the head butting of others.

Petey Pete and Ollie spent the first three months indoors. Wearing diapers. Being bottle raised. Enjoying cuddles on both bed and couch.

Thinking about adding another piggy to your established herd? Here is something you'll need to prepare yourself for.

Fight for top hog.

A kind of fight that is crucial for a healthy herd. Not only does this determine where someone sits in the herd hierarchy, but it also reassures the pigs that the one at the top spot is the best for the herd.

I know this looks brutal, but I can assure you that it's not as rough as it looks. Especially if you add Vaseline to ears and tails, little scrapes and scratches are most common to see after a top hog spat.

No matter how much you might want to, do not separate after this has been started or finished. This sets the tone for the herd until something changes. If separated, this starts all over again.

Herd hierarchy can change at any time. More often, if any of the members think that they can establish themselves as a better leader or if new members are added.

The first pig to walk away is the lower member. They concede to the stronger, better suited member of the herd to lead or differ to.

It's common that once the herd is of a larger size that a newbie would only have to test their ability against the top few pigs. Many times, lower members are content with their position in the herd and won't want to engage with a new member.

Pigs create lifelong bonds. Some will bond with only one other pig, and others will bond with four or more other pigs. Though, it's unlikely that two dominant personalities will stay in their same roles long-term in their bonded groups.

It was incredibly common for a group of four to pair off into the shelters at night in the general population herd I had. In that herd, we had a fluctuating number of 18-20 pigs dependent on adoptions, caloric needs, and health needs.

It depends on the individual pigs' personalities, but it was my experience that if a top hog or dominant personality was removed that they didn't usually have to reestablish their rank. Though, lower members had to establish where they sat. The higher ranking pigs usually have more say in who gets what space, food, bed spot, etc. that the rest get.

It's our "birthday"! June 22nd 2022 is our founding day.

Born solo as TK's Mobile Hoof Care, we are now a team with Her Animals Hoof Care.

The name chosen is a play on where I began with animals. Her Animals Sanctuary + Rescue is what I called my place.

That's where I cared for all of my personal critters and those that needed a safe landing. It still devastates me to this day that I wasn't in the position to start over with everyone.

Its the contributing factor as to why I refuse to walk away from this. I don't want anyone to have to start all over with their pigs care.

Her Animals Hoof Care was born out of resilience. We will continue for as long as we can. 🥰

We are disappointed we even have to make a post like this.

After too many outstanding invoices for work already completed, we will now require fees to be paid at the time of completed service or while services are being rendered.

We were leaving once services were completed and letting clients pay at their convenience, but we can no longer allow for that.

For those needing an invoice to be sent for services rendered, we will be sending it the morning of the scheduled services. To be paid before we leave the property.

** Those on a discussed payment plan will not be affected by this policy. **

Automated post.

There is something special about watching a pig who is high-stepping due to long toes quickly figure out that it isn't necessary anymore post trim.

This lovely lady even decided to wallow while her sister was being trimmed. It makes our job a wee bit harder on more agile pigs, but she was so patient while we trimmed her up.

We shared a short clip of her trim on FB and the full video on our TikTok. One of her toes has noticeable hoof rot and another toe has noticeable white line disease.

What is white line disease (WLD)? Most often studied in equine, here’s a quick breakdown:

White Line Disease is caused by a spore-forming bacterium. The condition occurs when pathogens invade a weak or compromised hoof wall. They begin deteriorating the horn wall.

Treatment includes removal of the diseased hoof wall, allowing oxygen to reach and kill the bacteria.

WLD is often associated with laminitis.

Laminitis is a painful condition of the white line of the hoof wall when it becomes inflamed. It often occurs from excess sugar intake in the form of fruits, corn, bread, potatoes, table scraps, and even consistent use of sweet feeds.

The trim itself was the first step toward optimal hoof health. We look forward to tracking her progress as we keep her on a regular trim schedule. The homework her caretakers were given will also aid in her hoof recovery.

Hi there!

Michael and I are technology-free as of 11 PM last night. We are taking today into Sunday at noon to reset. All inquiries will be addressed on Sunday.

We hope you stay safe and reconnect with those who matter to you. While we love fireworks, keeping animals safe is priority number one. Indoor animals should be indoors by nightfall. No outdoor breaks without a leash until after the fireworks end.

We realize that not everyone feels the same and will do what they do. Respect your neighbors with livestock. You know what you've done to desensitize your critters. You have no idea if your neighbor has a rescue who isn't.
