I've had my pet pig Kimmy for nearly 4 years. We have a German shepherd and a blue heeler. I also have 3 beautiful girls and 2 step sons.  I wanted a pet pig since I was a little girl. Their cute snorts and adorable noses made me happy.  I work in retail and have fostered for various rescues for the past 7 years. I enjoy being around my animals and getting them ready for their forever homes! I also am attending school for veterinary medicine, and I sell makeup on the side. I like to keep myself busy, but my most important job is a human and pet mom. Brittany shares her experience of having her first pig and what they learned from that experience to prepare them for getting Kimmy. She tells us what it was like to bring Kimmy home and how she fit into the family and then how it was to bring a puppy into the house and how Kimmy reacted to that. Being a home that fosters dogs they bring in about 20-30 dogs a year that stay with them until they get adopted. They had 1 incident when a dog got out of the crate in her room and Kimmy was in her own crate in her room. The foster dog broke into Kimmy’s crate and 2 dogs ended up attacking Kimmy and hurt her ear badly. She ended up losing the ear from the damage but was fine other than that. The foster dog was then transferred to a new foster house and her dog that also was involved in the attack was rehomed as well to keep Kimmy safe. They are no longer fostering white dogs because Kimmy did not forget that it was a white dog that attacked her. Brittany is now trying to only foster small dogs or puppies to be sure to keep Kimmy safe.   Brittany wants to remind us that dogs and pigs do not speak the same language and do not think the same. She wants everyone to do your research and be prepared for bringing a pig into your home so you can keep your pig safe.   Autumn’s Links:  Website: https://www.autumnacresminipetpigs.com/ Email: Autumn@autumnacresminipetpigs.com Educational Membership Group: https://www.autumnacresminipetpigs.com/support-group-subscription/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/autumnacresminipetpigs/ Facebook:  HTTP://Facebook.com/autumnacresminipetpigs Mighty Networks: https://autumn-acres-mini-pet-pigs.mn.co/share/EPW2Ie5isMX4T0Ve YouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UCGue5Kp5AwOXkReCGPUyImA Newsletter: http://eepurl.com/hDNizT
