X 2 !!!!! It was one thing preparing for hurricanes when we were on the east Florida coast, but it was just us and one little dog then. Having livestock is another thing!!!!! Hope the storm is gentle with you and yours and everyone in its path

Thanks for all your well wishes everyone! Well, we've taken care of business this morning and moved all the animals around to safer places. We filled all the water troughs we could find and picked up all the loose debris. Everybody has hay under shelter. Now we have to go shopping to get some last minute items before the storm hits. I am hoping we don't get hit too bad.
Here are some piggy pictures for your enjoyment! I watched one of them poop in the cat litter box this morning. They are potty trained!

I love it, they are really cute.
How big will they get? How are they different than pot bellied pigs? (Just a different breed?)

I'm not quite sure, but I think they "might" be considered miniature pot bellied pigs. Tim saw their parents and they were close the size of my miniature schnauzer in the pic, maybe a little smaller. These little girls are about 8 weeks old. They are sooo cute! But scaredies. When Tim went to pick one up so I could hold it, it squealed bloody murder! lol It was sooo loud, ha ha.

OMG, yes when we did anything except pick our PB Bailey Ann up she was good... but pick her up and she screamed like we were killing her!!
Awesome news about Ruth & the farm!! I hope you can get it so you can 'own' it and then make all the farm decisions -- I bet you'd enjoy that!!
But OMG I know what you mean about the squealing. We have seven 3-4 week old pigs at the farm I work at and we move them from the farrowing crate to a stall every Sunday night and they SQUEAL like no other, so what my boss does (and now what we do) is hold them by their back legs so their heads face the ground and it works like a charm to get them to be quiet!

I'm glad some of you guys can relate to the pig squeals, lol, it's about the loudest most wretched shriek I've ever heard! 
I will have to try picking them up by the back legs Sheepgirl, that should be very amusing!
