FINALLY! I finally caught (kind of… not really, but close enough) Julian’s party trick! 🎉
Have you ever seen a pig that can camouflage?! Well, now you have! 🤣🐷🙈 “Now you see me, now you don’t” - The Magic Man (If you know, you know… 🤷🏼♀️)
Ever since Julian first joined us, he’s ALWAYS walked around with a mouthful of straw. Kind of like a teddy bear. We’ve always said he was hiding from us and as time has gone on, I truly believe that this was his intentions. For the longest time, he would only drop his straw if he was running away from us or if we spooked him. Now, he only holds it long enough to identify the threat and once he realizes that it’s just us, he drops it without hesitation. 🥰
Now if only I would have caught him hollering today… 🙄 He gives us some “leave me alone” grunts and groans when he’s done socializing, but that’s really about it. Let me just tell you, this one has a set of lungs on him! I had a situation I had to tend to in the middle of feeding right when I was getting to his turn. He was not too fond of me leaving the rotation unfinished and he certainly let me know. I had to go check who it was because it definitely wasn’t any of our usual mouthy members, so I of course automatically assumed something was wrong. I rushed out of the barn to practically trip over Julian who was RIGHT there at the door SCREECHING as loud and as obnoxiously as he could. 🙄🤦🏼♀️🐷😂
