Lexi now has a new friend, Porkchops. Porkchops is Hayllee's pig that Jeremy (and I) inherited from her mother's house. Since her mom could no longer keep Porkchops, Hayllee was very devesated and asked Jeremy if Porkchops could move to his house. We decieded to give it a try. So far, Porkchops is proving to be a very sweet piggy. She wasn't potty trained, or trained at all for that matter, so we are using animal crackers as her training treat. So far she is doing quite well. Of course Lexi is loving this. The dog that never gets anything except dog food and dog treats, is now munching down on animal crackers. I have learned it is hard to train a pig and give treats without giving one to Lexi. Lexi hears "sit" or "come" and thinks she has earned herself a treat! It has helped though. Porkchops follows Lexi everywhere, even out to the grass to take care of business. The only time Lexi gets upset with her is when she eats her dog food or tries to take her toys. We had to get Porkchops her own doggy toys to roll around on the floor!
