Kasleigh and her husband have been married almost 12 years and we have four kids. They are a family of animal lovers. And that love has carried over into their home because they have a rotating door of rescues and rehabs and a couple special needs pets of their own. Kasleigh has wanted a pig since McDonald’s put “Charlotte’s Web” on VHS in its limited edition happy meal in 1993. Their first piglet Persimmon came home with them in December of 2020 and she felt wholly unprepared despite the intense amount of research she did. She stumbled across my page while doing lots of research and looking for help on how to care for their new pig and the rest is history. Now she is the happy pig parent of two piggies that she wouldn't trade for the world.  Kasleigh tells us the story of how she ended up getting Persimmon and the lie she was told from the breeder about her size. She also tells us about why they decided to get a second pig and how they ended up with Fig and the challenges they have faced with her after rescuing her from a very bad situation. She explains some of the obstacles they overcame with training Fig to trust their family.  She explains how their personalities have blossomed in the family and some of the things they love to do. We learn what it is like having a Kune in the house, with Persimmon being a larger pig, and what some of the biggest challenges have been with allowing them in the house.  The way her family has been able to overcome some of the challenges they faced with their pigs, is by changing their own mindset.  They know that the needs of their pigs and their personalities are not something that they can necessarily change. They focused on keeping things consistent and training them so the pigs could be happy and know where they stand in their pack.
