Grunts to you! My name is Snowball and...Hi Penny! Grunts to you! My name is Snowball and I live in the USA on a farm with my mommy. When I was a piglet, mommy used to get unbuttered, unsalted popcorn (air popped is best)and put it in a paper bag. This is a fun new toy, but we pigs are so smart, we figure out how to get to the corn pretty fast. Initially, though, the paper bag can just be rolled up at the end.<br /><br />When Snowball was a growing piggie, he had a time of almost blindness due to his ingrowing eyelashes. When I wanted to call his attention to a certain thing he didn't know where it was, I would tap so he could hear it. Using something like that might make Penny feel less shut in a dark little place.<br /><br />Try teaching her things using ONE piece of cereal or popcorn as the reward. She is getting the treat without the trouble! <br /><br />Lots of bellyrubs, grunts & snouties from Snowball & mommy-LauraSnowball & Lauranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7357415595622318705.post-2126909279386301072009-06-14T11:50:24.802-07:002009-06-14T11:50:24.802-07:00It is the epitome of arrogance to only value those...It is the epitome of arrogance to only value those who are like us.<br /><br /> So true!!!!!!!!!!!Janice Gilletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02997741046742192330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7357415595622318705.post-43544304532247148852009-06-14T07:45:22.867-07:002009-06-14T07:45:22.867-07:00P.s.

I think that I probably would have tried the "tough love" thing as well. I think that a manna ball would probably help a lot.

And there has been days where ...I felt aweful!! And there has been days where she walked on that gravel driveway but like us some days are better then other days. Still, i need her to get more excercise and thought a little tough love was acceptible here. <br /> Pot bellied pigs as adults unlike the big pigs are totally only motivated by food. "play' would involve food somehow. Digging a hole to china to find a nut deeply buried by a blue jay is there kind of play. But your right, i will devise something that will give her more excercise for her dinner . Such as putting it in a paper bag where she will have to find a way to get it out of there. Or an empty cereal box much like a dogs " manna ball". I could make one out of a milk container..will let you know tonight. Thanks for planting that seed! <br /> I will deliver your hugs stat!Janice Gilletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02997741046742192330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7357415595622318705.post-42775206258463185342009-06-11T23:21:11.467-07:002009-06-11T23:21:11.467-07:00oh poor Penny!

Tell momma not to do that again and then you promise that you will try and walk a bit more, but maybe with momma right there.<br /><br />Hey Janice, would Penny like to play? Is there anything that she'd love to play with that would get her moving a bit?<br />Just a thought!<br /><br />((((((((((((Penny))))))))))<br /><br />from Carolinesobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12984426561976197585noreply@blogger.com
