| THE FREEWHEELIN' NEIL |
| "This is some cold shit!" |
| Older sister, Amiria, with little brother Neil. |
| This is Neil, potbelly pig, and Dylan fan. Other favorites seem to include John Lee Hooker, Beatles, and Willie Nelson? He's been known to shake his hips a bit while wagging his tail to the beat. What a ham, no pun intended!!! |

| PROFILE OF A PIGSTER |
| Favorite Color: Green |
| Favorite Foods: Dried ears of corn, yogurt, tootie rolls or anything he's not supposed to have. |
| Sex: Neutered Male |
| Hobbies: His most current "fun thing to do" is taking all the sheets off of my bed. He then carries them off to his corner and personalizes them by chewing and rooting them. Needless to say, I've went through many sets of sheets lately and am trying to get him to find a different hobby! |
| Learned tricks: Sit, shake, circle, kiss, and hold a basket on his nose and carry it, "roll out the red carpet", "playing" his piano. |
| How many roads must a pig walk down, Before you can call him a pig?... |

| 1/24/04: Yea! Updating finally, and have tons more stuff to put up. A second pig has now joined our ranks. A "handicappable" one at that! PeeWee aka "Bullit". He's built like a drag race car and is a definate drama king. Sometimes I wonder what the neighbors must think- loud shrieks from having to go out in the cold at 5:30am! If I have to be up- they have to be up! Neil and PeeWee are still working on striking up a friendship. Neil had been an only pig for so long he's not about to give his title up easily. So within the next several weeks this website will be revamped to include many new photos and an archive. I will go into howpotty training the little one went and what I've learned from living with these two wonderful animals. I'll also tell the world about Neil's SHEETY situations. He has a serious sheet fetish which makes me wonder sometimes who actually runs the show around here! |

| Family Fun Night!! |
| Neil came to us at about 4 months of age (with ALL parts still intact). He caused much excitement around the house, and our lack of education on potbellies proved too much for Neil not to take advantage of! Everyday, I'd come home to a welcome surprise such as: the pantry literally emptied out, trashcans knocked over, a pig that closed himself in the bathroom and pooped (poop hoofprints everywhere), holes chewed in my new lampshade. These are just a few! Point being: learn as much as possible before taking in a pig and be ready for the commitment. Neil has turned out to be a wonderful addition to our family, and we are much better about picking up after ourselves- nobody will DARE leave a can of soda on the table or a magazine we hadn't read yet on the couch! And I will say that since he ate all my plants, that it IS saving me time! He's so thoughtful! This site will be updated regularly with his going's on's, a few new pictures every month, and some pig- related links (this only started as a place to keep a Dylan trade list!). Thank you for visiting and we hope you enjoy Neil as much as we do... |
