🐽 A little Coco update!

We’ve been working on giving Coco more freedom without me holding the other end of his leash. After walking the property together so many times, he’s been learning his boundaries and getting familiar with where he can and can’t go.

As much as I love taking him for walks, we have a ton of projects going on around here. I didn’t want him to lose his afternoon routine, so our walks have turned into supervised free time!

Does Coco like to test those boundaries? 100%! But every day gets better and better. I’ve even managed to get some work done outside while he moseys around doing his own thing.

Of course, I still have to keep a close eye on him because, like any toddler, it only takes two seconds of looking away for them to decide the road looks like a great place to explore. 🙄😂

What amazes me is how much he’s learned. I open his gate and he follows the same little path every day. When he’s finished exploring, he heads right back to his pen without me showing him the way. If he realizes he can’t see me, he comes looking for me, and he regularly checks in to see where I am. 🥹

I just love this dude. He’s got quite the personality, a stubborn streak, and he’s so incredibly smart. Watching him learn and gain confidence has been such a joy. ❤️

And please enjoy this video of Coco taking off the second I open his gate. Apparently, he had a hot date with the chicken feed tin. He still hasn’t mastered flipping that thing over, but you have to admire his dedication! 😂

Wilbur enjoying his pumpkin. He’s learned that when you live with a snack thief named Hank, you take your food somewhere safe!

Pumpkin day at the sanctuary! 🎃🐷🍂

A big thank you to Uncle Eric for treating the piggies to some pumpkins! Everyone was pretty excited to dig in, except Coco, of course.

Our picky little guy isn’t a fan of pumpkin, so he got his beloved blueberry muffins instead. We even tried sneaking a piece of pumpkin in with his muffin, but there was no fooling him. He ate the muffin and left the pumpkin behind.😅

3 month transformation!
Feather by feather, our girl Loretta is becoming the beautiful, fluffy little lady she deserves to be. These are the moments that make it all worth it. 🥹

Apparently Onyx and Pierre have expanded their quality control department.

Usually it’s straw. Today we brought home building materials for the house and these two immediately hopped in to see what WE bought.

At this point I’m expecting them to show up with hard hats and start asking about building permits. 🤣

The quality control crew was ready and waiting for today’s straw delivery.

Onyx and Pierre wasted no time hopping aboard to inspect the goods. Just another straw day at the sanctuary!🌾🐓

He looks like he’s about to pack his bags and find himself a new sanctuary where it DOESN’T rain. 😂

And honestly, buddy, I’m about ready to come with you!!🌧️
