Melvin the Long-nosed Potbellied Pig, age 16

I may not look it now, but back in my heyday, I was quite the party animal. I snuck out a time or two. I’ve lived all over the country. I’ve had some run-ins with the cops, and even got arrested once. Good times.

Now that I’m sweet 16, I’d rather be pigging out than sneaking out. But I keep on having fun, and I’m as happy as a pig in… a blanket.

It’s all thanks to my human. She’s cared for me since I was a wiggly piglet, and she’s never stopped loving me. Even when I peed at her wedding.
