Hi Kathleen!
 Thought you would enjoy this photo of Annie B's 1st birthday!! She is so precious, and such a good girl! She weighs 50 pounds, and looks to have a such a "show pig" figure!! There isn't a day that goes by that we don't laugh over one of her stunts! You told us the day we adopted her that she had quite a personality, and that was a big understatement!! Her life here seems to totally agree with her, and the daily routine is working well! Her days are spent outside in her very large "big girl pen" where Blake has built her a pigdominium, and after her dinner she comes inside the house for our quality time with her. At bedtime she sleeps in our bedroom in her bed right next to our Border Collie who's in her bed, and she doesn't make a sound until it's time for all of us to wake up! She's really adapted well to being an indoor and outdoor girl! Thank you again for this great addition to our family. You are truly the BEST of breeders! One day we might even consider adopting a little sister for her! Hope all is well with you and your family! We will stay in touch! Annie B sends you BIG kisses (she LOVES to kiss)....
Our best regards,
Kathy and Blake

Kathleen,
Well, guess what? SHE'S GROWING!!! This will give you an idea on our/her progress!!!
Definitely got some damn osmosis influence from the atmosphere, 'cause we're not feeding her as much as she is putting on the pounds..................hhhmmmmmmmm, guess that's what's going on with us middle-age folks too.

Hi Kathleen....
Hope you all had a great Christmas! Blake and I sure did with our little Annie B! What a doll, and oh yes, she's VERY smart and has a darling personality! We've had her for 9 days now, and cannot believe how well she's settled into her new home!! So far, she's NEVER pottied in the house, and was never interested in her litter box. She let's us know if it's time to potty with an obvious grunt, or otherwise we take her out every few hours. She has slept completely through the night since her first night, and that's really nice because we have her set up in our bedroom!! Within 24 hours we had her giving kisses (she's VERY affectionate), and understanding "come"..Her starter pig feed from Heartland has been a HUGE hit! She wasn't interested in eating her first meal here, but that soon changed! She eats all 3 meals right on schedule every day, and certainly lets us know if we're a little late feeding her by grunting to get our attention. She LOVES cabbage, and would eat a whole head if we let her, but we're trying different green veggies so we can rotate her vegetables. The harness has been so easy too because Blake is our pig whisper! He really has a magic touch with putting it on her, and he was able to try it out on her on day 3. Our border collie is getting along really well with her, and Annie B seems to love having her around. Thank goodness! Kathleen, we are truly amazed at this VERY unique little creature! She is so VERY special in many ways!! We had prepared ourselves for a tough time, and sleepless nights, but from the moment she came out of her crate (immediately) upon our arrival at home with her, she's been a little angel!! Never have we known of an animal that is so adaptable to ANY situation, and so easy to train!! She is extremely mild-mannered, and calm for such a young little piggy! Congratulations, we give you ALL the credit! She certainly has wonderful genes too!! We cannot thank you enough for our special little gal!! We feel truly blessed to have her!! We'll stay in touch, and will be sending you pictures!! We adored meeting you, and having our special time with you! Also, your book is fabulous, and answers all questions this far!! We thank you so much for everything! Take care.....
Big hugs,
Kathy and Blake
