Tales from Pigtopia.

I recently visited SoCal Mini Pigs. It’s a magical place where you can buy “mini pigs.” Or if you already have one they also do pig sitting. I went there for a farm tour. When they let us in the pigs had just finished their food so they were relatively active. Upon entry, I was greeted by 2 energized goats. We were on a porch surrounded by a fence and within the fence were a dozen or more pigs. I enthusiastically went in. There were pigs roaming eating hay. Others were asleep. Then I went inside a smaller pig pen with one of the cutest pigs I’ve ever seen. His name is Tristian. I walked slowly up to him. I could tell he liked me because he wasn’t running and his fur/spines (depending on which angle you pet them) were raising. I pet him first on the back and when he got more comfortable with my presence I scratched his ears and he flopped over. It was the cutest thing ever! I left him to pet some other pigs while other guests came to pet him. I saw a litter of three piglets running around. When people tried to approach them they ran away. So I observed from afar. They were doing “zoomies” through some mud. Then at the speed of sound, they went over to their tired mother for lunch. I turned around and saw a pig pile! Carefully I went to see 3 pigs sleeping on each other! So I stroked their fur. The pigs smiled. Which was adorable. Then my time with the pigs was up. I went home with a smile on my face and a story to tell.

The definition of zoomies is when piglets just run around for no reason other than to have fun.
