Luke is Now an Official LAPS Member

Please welcome our newest member, Luke, weighing in at exactly 3lbs.

Here's what his mom, Janet, had to say about Luke:

"Luke is 1 year, 4 months old and is proud to be a LAPS pig. He has lived in his forever home since June 2008. Before that, Luke was in a pet store and lived with his brother. I was sure that he would be adopted with his brother, but the months came and went. His brother was purchased, leaving Luke rehomed with a boar who bullied him. He had numerous bite marks and frayed ears, and was scared to death. When Luke came home, we took him to the vet for various medications/treatments, and we gave him "spa treatments" consisting of oatmeal baths to soothe his wounds. His fur was very thin and non-existent in places and he wasn't very big. This is why we're exceptionally excited that he is a LAPS pig. He loves to run and play hide-and-go-seek in his playpen and enjoys eating carrots and apples more than anything. He used to jump on top of his pigloo, but now he seems to be too heavy to do that. Come to think of it, he barely fits in his pigloo and now needs a bigger one. Even though he is a big boy, he still acts like a baby and loves to be picked up and carried about the house. He enjoys cuddling with Mommy Slave, watching TV with Daddy Slave, and monitoring the activities of his sisters, Lily and Isabel, with whom he shares the "piggie nursery." "
