Most people get a dog when they want a pet. Or maybe a cat.We got a pig. An indoor pig named Moonpie. And she is absolutely convinced she runs this household.
Step one in our mornings: don’t wake Moonpie. Step two: hope she doesn’t run you over to get to the breakfast bowl. Step three: survive until coffee.
Moonpie is charming, smart, and terrifyingly fast. She can sniff out a snack from three rooms away, and if you look at her the wrong way, she’ll loudly voice her opinion — usually in the middle of a Zoom call with her usual “UMPH”.
Honestly, the pointer Maggie is starting to look at her like, “I used to be in charge… what happened?”
Chaos & Comedy
Pigs are surprisingly sneaky. Toys disappear, shoes vanish, and last week Moonpie somehow figured out how to unlock the childproof gate.
The best part? Her timing is impeccable. Just when Mark starts a lecture on “why we don’t have indoor pigs,” Moonpie parades in like she owns the place.
We’ve decided arguing with her is futile — she wins. Every. Single. Time.
Why We Love Moonpie
Sure, she’s a chaos agent. Sure, she’s a little… dramatic.
But she’s also a heartbreaker. One snuffle, one snort, one perfectly-timed head nuzzle, and suddenly all the mess is worth it.
Life is louder, funnier, and way more interesting with Moonpie — our pig who thinks she’s the boss.
Lessons learned: Never underestimate Moonpie, always hide the toast, and embrace the chaos.
