A Pig Saved My Life! Janeth’s Story

My name is Janeth Painchaud. Mother of 3 humans and 2 piggies. Having a pig was always a dream that I never thought would come true but here we are living the dream! Olive, our first pig is 4 and Luna is around 11 months old.

When they had their daughter she had health issues and needed a multi-organ transplant so she was in the hospital until she passed at 7 months old. Janeth struggled with her death for a couple years and one day told her husband that she was done with all of it. Her husband wasn’t sure what to do but started to do research for emotional support animals. He found out that pigs are great emotional support animals and decided to surprise her with one for Christmas. Unfortunately, they were given no information on how to care for their new pig and it did not go well. They ended up taking him back to the breeder the next day and then got Olive. Janeth did research on how to care for her and they bonded and Janeth feels that Olive saved her life because she gave her purpose again. They love having Olive so much they decided to volunteer at a pig rescue and ended up getting a second pig, Luna, from the rescue.

In this episode we discuss how Janeth and her husband decided to get a second pig, Luna, and how they adjusted to life with 2 pigs and helped them bond and become friends. Janeth also discusses what it was like bringing a new baby into the home with the 2 pigs. Janeth discusses the biggest challenges they have come across as a family with pet pigs and the different bonds and personalities each pig has with them.

Key Takeaway: It is a pig owner’s job to inform people of the true sizes of a mini pig and the reality of owning a pig.
