So this is Piglet. He’s pink like a piggy and he snorts exactly like a baby pig but not nearly as loudly or insistently lol. He’s been with my husband and I for a couple of weeks. We were told he’s deaf. He came to us through a friend of a friend. He was basically abandoned at the home of our friend who was keeping him for someone he knew for a couple of days while she moved. Something like that. Details were sketchy. Long story short, lady says she can’t come back for her dog, can my friend find him a home? He calls us, we go pick him up, even though we said we weren’t going to get another dog for awhile, after losing our last pittie in November. 

So far he’s pretty awesome. He’s immaculately house broken, fully crate trained, and he doesn’t bark. At all. Ever. Aside from the very tiniest of something like a bark, one single, solitary time, when my husband was roughhousing and playing with him pretty intensely. My husband got him really wound up and he very quietly let out a little bark. Other than that, totally silent except for his little snorting and an occasional whimper if he’s excited or wants to eat or go for a walk and I don’t fulfill his requests in what he considers a timely fashion. Both my husband and I have always had dogs. Never had one of that didn’t bark, at least at some point. I’m not 100% sure whether he’s actually deaf. I don’t know where his former people got that from. Assumption or from a vet. 75% of the time, I’m sure he is, the rest, I’m not sure but maybe he’s reacting to vibrations. He rarely reacts to loud noises or other dogs barking. Until he sees them. Or a person walking or working in their yard. Even passing vehicles. He becomes very focused but totally silent. Just persistent, intense staring. He has to be redirected, usually a couple of times or else he’d never go to the bathroom or finish his walk. We’d just stand there so he can be nosy. But he’s super friendly and sweet, wants to meet everyone we encounter, always wagging and smiling. He’s so sweet and well mannered. 

Anybody that has any kind advice or comments, I’d love to hear them. He’s a different type of dog than any I’ve ever had before. Definitely not in a negative way at all. Just a personality type I’m not familiar with. We’re working on training as much as possible but I honestly just don’t know where to start. I’ve watched a lot of videos and done some reading. I do love to research 😂😂

Meet Piglet. The most adorable of swine ❤️🥰😍
