Preston from IN

Our pet pig for the month of June is Preston.
Preston is nearly five years old, born on August 11, 2020—just a day before his human mom’s birthday! As the only pig in the household, he lives indoors but enjoys spending time outside in his spacious fenced yard. There, he happily grazes, roots, scratches by the picnic table, and even stretches into his own adorable yoga poses.
Preston is a true cuddle-bug, always eager to snuggle up next to Mom for belly rubs. He also has a quirky habit of sitting patiently by the oven whenever he suspects there’s food inside, as if he’s waiting for a delicious surprise. While he’s been both a joy and a handful, he has strong opinions about the weather—he absolutely despises water, wind, rain, and cold!
