LISTING REMOVED Blackbeard and Pinky arrived at the shelter because they weren't allowed at their previous owner's college dorm. This is always a big worry when big pet stores spring up near colleges (not to assume these pigs came from a store). They're loads of fun and very bonded. I'm assuming Blackbeard is the one on the right, and if so, best name (and one of the best pigs) ever. I bet her owner was majoring in Pirate Studies. They're both girls.
