Throwback to my Tater in his fat & spoiled days. His bum cheeks are the cutest 🥰

I am pretty sure I can thank either Big Red or Moe for this 😂 You know breakfast took too long when they leave you p**p at your front door. Pigs are so dramatic!

In August 2017 I purchased my first pig from a breeder. (Shame on me!) I drove out on a whim and bought myself a birthday gift that would forever change my life.

Raising a pig inside the house is similar to raising a 2 year old toddler in their terrible two’s stage. Only a pig was much more work. More work than raising 2 year old twin boys 😂

I was fooled with the promise of “she will only be 60lbs,” although at that time I didn’t care what I was promised. I held Kohkos for a few minutes and knew I was taking her home. She doesn’t know it, but Kohkos saved me in one the hardest times of my life. I had just become a single mom with 3 young children, so why not add another toddler to the picture?! 😜 Especially one who would rip up my grass, p*el up my floor, p*e on my carpet, eat my walls and rip everyone’s bedding. (True story!) I made a lot of mistakes along the way, but I sure did learn a lot and my love for her is something fierce.

My whole goal of starting the Tickled Pig was to help pigs in need. After seeing the lack of care pigs are given and how they are often only seen as bacon, I just fell into teaching others about pigs and how intelligent they really are. It started small with me taking Kohkos to visit my daughter’s school to teach a few classes about pigs.

My dream over the last few years has been to move to acreage and allow visitors. I love to meet people, I love working with children and I absolutely love talking about pigs. We have had a few visitors every month since we moved in August and all I ask is that you bring some goodies to feed the pigs while you are here.

We have been given a generous offer to pay for lawyer fees to get help with paperwork to become a registered non-profit. We have also met another kind soul who has offered to help do up the paperwork to apply for grants. It is hard to say yes because I am a terrible “do it all on my own” type of person. It is also hard to say no because it’s a step in the direction I think I want to go. It scares me a little bit because I don’t think I want to know how much I spend on pigs eat month 😬 I am also not sure how much time I want to put into fundraising. Do I want to have to do paperwork instead of laying out in the grass with my pigs?

What do you think? What would you do?

Today’s feeding. Big Red stole a whole bag of food from the first kiddo I sent out, he took it behind the shed and ate it all. So I send the second kiddo out with a bag of buns to feed the rest, and here is Red, being a pig! 😂

It’s been a hard week. Our Pug ended up with pneumonia and is finally feeling better thanks to antibiotics, and inflammatory/pain meds. We spent over a week just laying in bed making sure he has had the rest he needs

On the plus side, all the pigs are doing well sleeping 22 hours a day. They mainly come out to eat during the winter and go back to the warm straw

Happy New Year from the pig-sicles. It’s cold today, but the sun makes it feel so much better. We have reached our day time high of -14 celcius / 6 Fahrenheit

Just as we headed out the door tonight, before midnight, Rupert’s song came on (Please Don’t Go- Stephanie Rainey) Shortly after that, the Northern Lights carried on for over an hour. It was a beautiful night to say goodbye to 2024 and ring in 2025.

2024 was a hard year for us. It started with the loss of Rupert in January and then euthanizing Tater in the summer to relieve him of chronic pain that affected him for the whole 5 years of his life. The first pig loss is definitely the hardest. I am conflicted moving into the new year. Part of me feels like I am losing my babies by leaving them back in 2024. Part of me thinks they just let me know they are carrying on into 2025 by my side. Either way, my love for pigs will carry on to any other pigs in need of a loving home

Happy World Junior’s! Did you know that there is a player on Team Canada named Bonk? He has the same name as our famous blind & deaf piggy. This gorgeous face would like to remind you that he is the original Bonk 🤣

Big Red is a big trouble maker! The pigs have been out back in the “pig acres” for quite some time now. Stink head Red can always find a way to come up to the house. Yesterday he taught Ellie Mae and Lil Guy how to get up here too. Momma doesn’t want pig p**p in her driveway anymore 😂 Momma also doesn’t need Fat Head Red snouty marks on her pants when she goes into town.

Big Turd 1, Momma 0 😂😂😂

We hit Walmart at the right time yesterday and grabbed 5-6 of bags of the marked down bananas. So when we came home with a treat, the pigs were stoked. Moe couldn’t stay still long enough for me to snap a pigture. Clearly he is starving 😜 Give him another couple months and he will be fat and happy like the rest of the piggies.

A couple hours late. It’s been a day!

Just saw this on Kijiji. I could easily spend the $150 and bring him home. It’s the vet bill we can’t afford 🥹 We are still trying to catch up on previous bills.

The hardest part of rescuing is wanting to save every single pig that is being used by humans for profit or food. Let’s face it, our world is known for exploiting pigs. We hope to bring awareness, educate the public and increase the bond between humans and swine

For anyone who may not enjoy this time of year, or anyone who feels sad, stressed, or alone…. we have you covered. Come pet pigs!

Seriously, any day, any time. Don’t be shy. The pigs will be your company for 10 minutes or 2 hours. All you have to do is let us know you want to come by for a visit

Winter is a very hard time. The expenses go up astronomically. We spend a minimum of $200 a month on straw to keep the pigs warm. Without grass to graze, our pig feed bill more than doubles. A $25 bag lasts 3 days at the most. Let’s face it…..Big Red eats it all, he has a name to live up to 😉

Enquiring minds want to know…. Did we get that new pig yet? No. We did not. The owner found Charlotte a home closer to where he lives. Since we lost Rupert and Tater this year, I thought 2 more additions before the new year would be a great way to carry on into 2025. So, if you know a piggy needing a home, we may be considering another addition to our herd

This fella came to us almost 2 years ago. We do not know how old he is, or how many homes he cruised through before ending up here. We have noticed a slow decline in his health lately and he lacks the ability to catch his superworms. He has to be fed bugs one by one. It’s safe to say he is an old fella, who sadly, is on the decline. We went through this with Waffles (another hedgehog) at her end of life. For now, he will be pampered and loved, until it is his time to go

I know, it’s not pig related, but we take in so many animals who need a home. I just have to share with you how silly this house is.

Just thought everyone would like to hear these piggies squealing like as if they hadn’t eaten in days. This is the noise they make every single feeding time They also make this noise when it isn’t feeding time. Big Red is a massive instigator of this behaviour. The Kunekune’s always join in. Now that you have heard them squealing for food, what will you feed them? 😆

We don’t stop at pigs. We have many other critters who needed a forever home. This is Salt and his buddy is named Pepper. Gerbils are so curious and friendly. I wonder what Salt would do if he actually escaped his home

This is what it’s like going out our door. Every. Single. Time. I can’t get to the hockey rink without running the gauntlet of dirty pig snouts 😜 I have resorted to permanently wearing Tickled Pig hoodies so that people can understand why my pants are always dirty 😂

Petunia was not happy about the rain either. Her and Ellie are so dramatic
