3. Spike is not allowed in the house.
4. Spike is not allowed in the chicken coop.
5. Spike is not allowed in the chicken pen.
6. Spike is not allowed in the car.
7. Spike eats pig chow, not: chicken feed, duck feed, rabbit feed or dog food. He may eat hay or scratch.
8. Lawn furniture should remain upright. Not on it's side, on it's back, front or end. Upright.
9. Spike is not allowed to use the dogdoor, even if it's just to look around.
10. Spike is not allowed to swim in the duck pond, only in his own piggy pool.

More to come!

Let me know how it goes, convincing him of these rules ... :D

Hehe. Pigs are ranked as being smarter/of higher intelligence than dogs (humans have trained pigs to sniff for drugs, as well as the dogs), so you probably could actually teach him all these things :D

Has Spike been apprised of this?

[tryst-inn.livejournal.com]

Yep, he was given a copy this morning printed out neatly on linen paper. He promptly ate it.

So I guess he's incorporated them?

the good thing is they are smart enough you can train him all this stuff :) we have to come visit sometime soon, I think stephen would have a ball with spike and he loves the doggies of course.

Absolutely!

I'll write up a little 'How to Meet a Pig" post for you. :)

Spike is not allowed to amend these rules.

Does this mean Spike is staying?

[tryst-inn.livejournal.com]

Looks like it. We're calling it a trial month, so Josh has an opportunity to meet him later this month and see what he thinks of the whole thing.

Um, I knew Spike wasn't going anywhere the moment you posted the first pic, lol.

[wild-heart.livejournal.com]

I wish I was making book on this.

[vicki-sine.livejournal.com]
