Tuesday's show and Tail...Remembering Oliver

Today I am joining Tuesday Show and Tail over at West Virgina Treasures, be sure and click on the link and check out all the other great animal pictures.
This week I'd like to introduce you to Oliver our late Pot Bellied Pig. We got him in 1993 and we lost him to a form of cancer in 1995.... He was such a little darling, I think he actually thought he was a cat or maybe a dog. He had to have a litter box to poop in at night and let me tell you, you better empty it immediately or he would take his snot and try to dump it out. He would go to the back door during the day and scratch to get out. Pot Bellies are actually neater and cleaner to keep than a dog or cat. Oliver was potty trained time he was born, no kidding we never had to train him, He eventually got to big for the house and the last 6 mos. he was confined to a large pen and was very happy cause he got to rut up the ground, when we'd try to bring him in he's run back to the pen....

He loved playing with Keifer and BB just like a puppy would.....

He loved playing with his blankie...

He loved to play and by now he was too big to sleep in the bed. He loved to play at night....

He loved his little white stuffed kitty cat with a bell on it's collar. And that is what he usually slept on, I would wake up at night and hear that little bell tinkling, I'd look down the hall to the den where Ollie slept and he would have the cat in his mouth, he would shake it and then throw it across the room, then he'd run to it, pick it up and shake it like a dog would and threw it back to the other side of the room, he would play like this for hours,..lol...then he'd sleep all day.

He was so tiny when we got him, that he would sleep on a pillow in bed with Baby Boy.

Of course this is me laying beside him, lol..I looked a mess had just got home from work, and took a shower no make up and wet head...but he didn't care, he loved his Momma and would squeal until I rubbed his back

and then he's go to sleep. He was so bad. I had some pictures of him and baby boy sleeping but haven't located then yet. We sure miss Oliver he was so sweet and loved to cuddle like a dog.
