Journey's legs are looking so good! Her "short" one she's now walking on. She's doing so well! Lola seems like she's adjusting to being around the littles. She was an only child for a long time so getting used to being a sibling is hard. I agree with others that Lola and Journey would make great companions.

[@justinefeist1864]

Lester have you tried bringing Lola and Journey into the tinies yard when it's time to feed in the evening, leave them in there overnight, in the morning after you feed breakfast put them back with the littles for the day. It might help her settle in but I think it's going to take time it's a big change from being the only animal in a house ❤

Lester I am so amazed with Trudy how she's grown. She was born as a wild meat eater and ferocious beast who can kill and yet with your tender love and care for her she became a little and part of a family and doesn't try to kill to eat. You taught her how to love and trust. You sure did a great job with her. I had to laugh, seeing how she protected you from the swans who chase to bite you.

I hate to see Lola go, but I have even thought it might be better if someone would adopt Lola that could keep her as a house pig because clearly she is not adjusting well to farm life. It's so sad when Jamie talked about how many emails she gets for pot bellies needing homes. Makes me angry at the breeders because obviously they are not making sure the people buying them know what they are getting into.

Great video. You haven’t had Lola that long, she will eventually acclimate. She won’t starve, when she gets hungry she will eat.

[@suethompson9481]

Lester what about letting Lola be companions with Petunia. That way if she gets too hot she can use the piggy door in the barndominion. She could also spend time with Journey and Sissy. I know you have to do what's best for her, but I would so love to be able to watch her as she adjusts. From what I understand pigs can grieve for their previous owners. Plus it takes a while for them to adjust to being rehomed.

I just love lola!! She has the best personality, always positive. She will learn to adjust and figure out what being a pig actually feels like, she's never had a chance to be one. Unfortunately she is looking for someone or something to teach her and she's looking at you for that. You can't though because your not a pig. She reminds me allot of grey goose when she first came. Just on the outside looking in. She already loves you so much Lester, It's beautiful!! I'd sure hate to see her go. She is in the best place she could ever go. She will adjust, summer won't last forever.

I wonder how Lola would do if she went in with Chip and Roxie when they get big enough? Having friends with her may make her more comfortable in adapting. Just a thought.

[@deethompson2854]

Question: Could Lola have the same arrangement as Journey. Eats breakfast in the stall, pasture with the littles for the day, then eats in the stall, spends evening in the pasture and end the day sleeping in the stall with Journey? Please see this as a question not advice or criticism. I have tremendous respect for your family and know you will try everything.

[@chrissybloulam2585]

👍

[@mystiquemysteria685]

@ Dee Thompson. I think the issue is that nothing is wrong with Lola while Journey has life limiting disabilities. We also need to realise that Lola is still going to get much bigger and that the Sanctuary is geared more towards allowing the animals to lead as independent and social lives as possible in the company of the other animals. Long term plans for “pig rescues” being in Lester’s Living room, front porch or glued to his side is not necessarily desirable.

[@nancyandrews8891]

Well Said...

[@chrissybloulam2585]

Excellent! I agree with you as she needs to be safe & feel safe. Because of her background & upbringing, she just isn't going to blend in with the others & l think that needs to be recognized

Thats actually a good idea to pair up lola w journey

[@jeanetteiacovone1958]

Wow sissy listens like a little puppy.. so adorable! I love how she loves life!

[@alinagilbert9991]

Going from an only animal living inside with humans to being outside in a large herd of animals would be very daunting. You just need to take it slow introducing her to her new life as a little. Continue to take her to the pasture as often as possible so she can spend time with the other animals & feel comfortable around them. Once she feels comfortable she will start to eat.

[@alana5367]

Lola and Journey could be good companions.

Journey’s stub looks like it has grown out so it’s not as short as the other one. She doesn’t limp as much. Lester, I think the geese go after you because you always run from them. What happens if you just keep going forward and not retreat? Animals sense fear and feed off it

[@charliee578]

She was and indoor pig and the only pig so it’s a lot to adjust to, the outdoor, new home, new animals, pigs that already set the pecking order. She just need some time but she’s more a pet than an farm animal so she may need more human interactions and probably don’t care a lot about the other animals . She may be a good companion for Journey tho ☺️

She’ll get there, Lester. It’s just gonna take a bit longer than the other animals to get acclimated. It’s hard to go from hand fed, air conditioned luxury to the life of a farm pig. She will realize finally that there are great benefits to being with the Littles; namely the best being having free access to the pond when she realizes it is there for her to not to fear, but to revel in. 🌺🌸

I would hate to see you rehome Lola but you have to do whatever is best for her. Maybe consider fixing up the pool yard for her and Journey. Make it larger put a up little shed which is sitting flatter on the ground. Consider building her a ramp to get in and out of the house. I just know that I really like Lola and would hate to see her go. I know there is a solution but what exactly well that’s for you to decide. After all you have to live with whatever you decide. I know you and Jami will make the best decision.
