A short bio about Rosey’s family:
My name is Joanna and I am married to my husband, Nathaniel. We live 10 minutes north of Boston,MA. We have one dog, one pig and two cats. When we first got Rosey (when she was 8 weeks old) we had 2 dogs and one cat, but sadly one of our dogs passed away last November.
I am a school adjustment counselor and I am a licensed mental health counselor. Luckily I have the summers off :)
My husband is in graduate school on the path to becoming a school counselor.
What happens when your spouse surprises you with a pig — without warning, without research, and without any idea what comes next? For Joanna, that unexpected day marked the beginning of a two-year journey with Rosey, a spirited, affectionate, and occasionally bossy pet pig. In this episode, Joanna shares the ups and downs of learning pig care on the fly: from diet and enrichment challenges to navigating pig moods and managing behavior changes.
We talk about the importance of early training (harness work, car rides, and even painting tricks!), how Rosey's relationships with other pets have evolved, and why consistency between family members is key for good pig behavior. Joanna also offers a realistic look at the joys and challenges of living with a highly intelligent animal — one who keeps her on her toes and fills her home with personality.
Whether you’re an experienced pig owner, a hopeful future pig parent, or simply curious about these amazing animals, this episode will make you laugh, nod in agreement, and maybe even rethink how you see pigs.
Highlights:
• How Joanna’s husband brought home a piglet without telling her
• Adjusting expectations from “dog-like” to “pig-realistic”
• Harness and ramp training a pig from a young age
• Managing behavior changes and avoiding “good cop, bad cop” dynamics
• Why cats can make great pig companions
• Rosey's list of tricks — including painting!
