No regrets!!! We are so happy to have Rusty. We had no idea how much of a good boy he was going to be. He does well with the kids, chickens, and our dog Rosie.

This shows Rosie’s first time meeting him. She doesn’t leave him alone. I was worried at first with her size and how rough she is when she wants to play. But now they are besties and she is so gently with him. He gives her nibbles on her legs sometimes, so funny.

The kids loveee him so much as do we. The belly rubs are a plus for sure!😂😂

The garden has been so wet from all the rain last week. My marigolds couldn’t wait to sprout!

I’ve been trying to collect the dried seed pods for next year, but a lot have already sprouted while still on the plant😂

I throw them around the garden like glitter so we’ll see what happens🌞🌼

Here’s more clips of us welcoming home our Rusty boy!!

Our oldest was super excited, the baby was confused, the chickens were weary, but now they all love him!!

The chickens kept their distance (other than bluey and bingo). Now they eat the food he drops!

He is a very happy boy and very loved!! Can’t wait to share more!!

Just another project completed!!
Getting another animal meant building a new shelter, and then sprucing up the area with some fresh paint 💙

Proud of my husband, Alex, for building Rusty this amazing pig pen. Even though the whole time he was saying he didnt know what he was doing… I think he does!! Everything looks amazing, and our animals are happy!! 🐥🐓🐖🐽

Rusty fell asleep on my boots🤣

Bringing home our pig part one. I took so many videos of our pig warming up to his new home.

Everyone meet 🧡RUSTY🧡

Rusty is a kune kune male pig!! We picked him up from our local feed store on Friday. It is lil mans new favorite place to visit because he likes to run around their little farm and see all of the other animals. Shoutout to Kings Cove in Moncks Corner!!

We were so excited to pick him up and bring him home, and thankfully he warmed up to us and the other animals so well!! The chickens were a little weary at first, but they both keep a respectful distance from each other now and go about their day.

We are obsessed with Rusty, and I can’t wait to show you more videos of him being the sweetest boy!

🐷 Part Three: the pig pen is finished!! We added the last walls, the roof, and the gate, and now it’s officially home to our little kune kune!! We also added some blue paint to the gate and the chicken coops ramp and nesting box to match our logo! I’m loving the bright colors!!

Our piggie is right at home and loves his pen. Up next we will show us welcoming him home!!
