In this heartfelt episode, Autumn welcomes Payton from Alabama, to share the story of her pig, Mabel, and the winding, emotional path that led her to becoming a confident and dedicated pig parent.
Payton opens up about her love for pigs and how her first pig ownership experience didn't go as planned. After bringing home her first pig during a difficult time in her life, she quickly realized she wasn't fully prepared, and her life circumstances made proper care nearly impossible. Making the responsible decision to re-home that pig was heartbreaking—but it also reshaped her understanding of what pigs truly need and prepared her to do things right in the future.
Years later, with stable housing, a supportive husband, and a clearer understanding of pig behavior, Payton felt ready to try again. That's when Mabel entered her life. Payton shares how she researched carefully, prepared her home, and committed to doing everything with intention—this time making sure her new pig would have the environment, enrichment, structure, and family she deserved.
Listeners will hear about Mabel's sassy personality, the joy she brings to Payton's home, and how the slow, thoughtful bonding process helped build a deep, trusting relationship.
This episode is a beautiful reminder that being a good pig parent sometimes means learning hard lessons, trying again with more knowledge, and giving a pig a loving forever home when the time is truly right.
