How it all Began..
Welcome to my world as life with pigs unfolded around me and in such a short time I realized these animal were being exploited just like all exotic animals brought into this country.
Misconceptions from backyard breeders about size and the lack of education on the part of most folks who get an animal left them abandoned or surrendered to the local shelters. I try and explain my quest to help these kindred spirits to my family, " it's like the birds who migrate every year, they don't know why they do it they just know they have to!"
Hearts On Noses came about when I looked at the shape of Willy's nose; clearly its shape was that of an upside down heart, my heart is on that nose!
Please let me share with you my love for these incredibly smart animals on these few pages.
