Happy Birthday to ME: H.Finn Turns 3!

Today I’m officially a toddler!

Yep, this mini pig is three years old folks & it’s time to celebrate

Hard to believe it has been three whole years since I came into the world. Feels like yesterday….I was arriving at SFO & beginning my adventure in the city

developing my impeccable fashion sense

perfecting my snout pout

and discovering new nooks to nap in

This little piggy has some cake to attend to. How do you celebrate your special day?

Mini Pig: After Dark

Mini pig’s do not adhere to bedtimes. At least that’s what I tell my human when I get a burst of energy late night that only a walk around the block will cure.

Squealing with delight on my night walk

As much as I adore the sunshine, the moonlight has it perks too.

Uninterrupted exploring.

Rooting undetected in flowerbeds.

sniffing around

And WALKING with no leash!!!

Look Ma, No Leash. Catch me if you can

Being an urban city pig, the streetlights illuminate my path and are like giant nightlights so I don’t get scared of the dark. Do you ever dare to dance (or prance, or walk) in the moonlight?

Mini Pig x2: Introducing Tom Sawyer

All of my mini pig wishing, hoping and praying has paid off; this little piggy is getting a mini pig sibling!

Introducing my little pig brother, Tom Sawyer. I haven’t met the oinker yet but I’m already head over hooves in love with him. I’m excited to show him the ropes around San Francisco and to have someone to cuddle with every night. The whole sharing thing is not my strong suit but mom keeps telling me “sharing is caring.” Now you all will get to see the new adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn!!

P.S. 

Friday Finn: Blinded By The Light

This little piggy is having a sunshine day! I’m so happy I’m positively glowing.

Raising a Mini Pig: It Takes a Village

My favorite sling

My mini pig friend Cocco recent post about needing a pigsitter and it got me thinking about all of mine.

Me and my Aunt Julia (one of my favorite pigsitters)

I’m a lucky fella who lives a life of luxury while my Mom works hard to bring home the bacon.

Mommy and me at brunch

Traveling is part of her job so I get the piggy privilege of having my human friends take care of me while she is away.

Love my pigsitter Aunt Caitlin

I like to think of them as mini vacations, where I get super spoiled, eat all the treats I can and get to be the center of attention.

Strolling on one of my mini pigsitter vacations

In fact, I make sure to be an ultra-good, mini pig for my pigsitters, so they will want to come back again soon.

Sometimes my madre will go on vacations that aren’t pig friendly so I get to go stay with my grandpig parent!!!

Me and my Grandpig parent!

He is soo cool. Once he let me eat (on accident)  an entire box of cheerios in one afternoon. When I’m there I get to play with my dalmatian cousin Riley. And by play I mean I take over his backyard and he doesn’t give me any barks about it.

I also absolutely adore my cousin Peyton who is the best at translating what my oinks mean.

Those are a few of the phenomenal humans I have in my life who have warmed this mini pig’s heart (and belly). Who takes care of you when your humans are away?

Getting My Grub On

Feeding time is the best!

I like to eat, eat, eat, tomatoes and lettuce!!

I like to eat, eat, eat, cucumbers and spinach!!

Here’s a video of my specially prepared meal (thanks mom!)

What’t on your plate?

Friday Finn: Mini Pig Park Perfection

Discovering a park that’s  mini pig friendly is a rare find.

Alta Plaza Park (also known as my backyard) is my favorite park on the planet.

It’s spacious enough that the dogs stay on their turf and don’t bother me when I’m picking dandelions.

Plenty of sunshine, the kiddles stay in the big cage (jungle gym) so they can look but not touch, which is just the way I like it.

Here’s a little taste of my paradise. Where do you like to play?

Mini Pig Feeding Time

Mealtime is the most favorite part of this mini pig’s day.

As soon as I hear the stirring of my mini pig chow my hooves start to dance in delight.

My tail wags so fast it looks like a pinwheel spinning round and round. This makes my mom smile.

I try really, really, really hard to sit with all of my hooves planted on the ground but the exuberance inside me creates a motion beyond my control. This results in a happy dance of sorts.

Seven Facts About Me!

1. I’m a drama queen and will make as much noise as it takes to get my way and have people pay attention to me
2. My favorite TV show is Downton Abbey; it’s the only show that grabs my full attention and I’ll sit patiently to watch
3. I prefer being carried to walking (my hooves are quite dainty). Being carried means I can experience the world and nuzzle away in the nook when I want to go hide/take a nap
   

   Nuzzling away in the nook

4. That said, if I am walking I sure hope it’s uphill. I motor and am the ultimate mini pig speed walker.
5. My snout can lift objects 2x my body weight
6. I love the sound velcro makes
7. Like my friend Bacon, I also think I’m human and don’t know any different. I insert myself into conversations, always try to get a seat at the table during mealtime and a kiss goodnight.
