Benjamin, Amelia & JD

JD:   I came to PM in August of 2004.  At only one year old I was stray pig living in Foster.  I did my best to take care of myself but unfortuantely I often upset many people in the neighborhood by rummaging through their yard.  It took over a month to  catch me but with patience and the help of ACO Pat Howarth I was brought to Potbelly Manor.   I love my life at Potbelly Manor, sharing a barn with Benjamin, Amelia and a new young'un Petunia aka Rachel, one of Paige's piglets born in December 2009.  I have secretly taken a liking to this young rascal and can often be found laying around in the piggy yard watching her antics.  I do however find her unrestrained yelling around feeding time very annoying and undignified, especially at 4 am.  We are all very happy and appreciate our good food twice a day, a pool to dip in when it's hot and treats.  Thank you Tracey for our tarts on the weekend!

Amelia & Benjamin: My brother Benjamin and I came to Potbelly Manor in October of 2005 at the age of two.  Prior to us moving into the Manor we were neglected  and it was not uncommon for us to go days without eating.  Now we know we will never miss a meal again; we even get two in one day plus treats!!   We are thrilled to know we will be living at Potbelly Manor for the rest of our lives and enjoy every minute in our blessed home. Well, to be honest we are not impressed by Petunia aka Rachel who joined us recently and find her level of energy irritating, especially when she comes and jumps on us when we're sleeping!  We can't figure out why JD associates with her.  It's ok to be in touch with one's happy place but she is a bit excessive!  We here in the front barn are very happy but in a sleeping-24-hours-a-day kind of way.

Ziggy:  I joined the gang at Potbelly Manor in the fall of 2009 when my owner and I moved to Rhode Island from down south.  My owner is looking for a permanent home where she can barter for my housing.  If you have room for a piggy and are interested in a barter arrangement let us know and we will put you in touch with Ziggy's mom!

Buddha:  I came to Potbelly Manor in January 2008.  My original owners had me for six years and then decided that they didn’t want me any more.  I stayed in the kitchen on my bed all day long.  Because I don’t like walking on hardwood floors, my owners were able to prevent me from moving around the house by not having my bed near any carpeted area.  I was not really socialized so I was hesitant (and sometimes cranky) when it came to meeting new people but at Potbelly Manor I had a bed in the living room where I get loads of attention, food, treats and am able to walk around!  Good news!  I made such progress that I have gone to live with my forever parents Katie and Jeff who live in Rehoboth.  Look at the picture of the house they made me!  Wow!   I am soooo happy!  In the summer of 2010 I got two playmates-Skittles and Pickles, who were Pearl's babies born in February 2010!

Olive & Hannah:  We are two of Paige's babies, born June 10, 2009.  We lived with Paige, our sister Pearl and a whole bunch of different animals at a place that closed.  We came to Potbelly Manor in August 2009 and learned how to eat out of dishes-we each had our own (although Olive wanted both)!  We had quite a different diet-special food made just for pigs like us, along with vegetables and some hay to chow on.  We were so happy our little tails wagged so much they never stopped!  Plus we had our very own house with straw and blankies!  We didn't like getting "spayed" and having shots but we got over it quickly.  We have gone to our forever home-here we are sleeping with out snouties together.
