Tumbleweed

We were most pleased to welcome Tumbleweed -- and his friend, Sunshine (RIP) -- into our home in August of 2004. Tumbleweed was a rescue piggie, so his exact age wasn't known, but we estimated that he was about six months old. He was a bit underweight but otherwise in good health.

Tumbleweed's name came from his wild hair, which never looks the same twice. He can shake his head or come out of his cozy with his hair slicked back and look like an entirely different pig! He is a sweetheart, always good-natured. He was a wonderful friend to Sunshine and, now, to Friday.
In 2008, Tumbleweed had many health issues, including a hard-to-treat abscess under his chin and a tooth that had to be removed, but with lots of care, he made it through the hard times. A tech at our vet's called him a brave guy, and she was right. His courage has been an inspiration to us. He has also continued to reveal more layers of his personality through the years. In the past few months he has become more adventurous, exploring a wider range of the house when he gets floortime each day.




Tumbleweed could easily have left us in the summer of 2008, and we are so thankful he didn't. Each day we spend with him is an honor.
