Lol, It's not just you....I love when they let the odd 'woof' out of them, at the sight of food, or if they get startled.

That of course doesn't mean that you're not barking mad though  ;D .... I know I am!

when i first noticed it, i had to listen again after
i gave them their feed!!!!
i couldnt believe it really sounds like a small bark from a dog.
and in the process of listening and laughing away to myself(i thought it was fab)
my wellies got stuck in the mud!!!!!
they do it all the time, every feed i still think its amusing,but i make sure me
wellies dont get stuck.
my  :pig: dont do it though! ;D :pig:

Ours squeal really loudly at feeding times. I love the noises our sow makes when she's in with her piglets  :love:

Mine did too  ;D
That's why I alway's tell people (who look at me like I'm mad when I tell them I've got pigs) that they're just like big dogs - they come running tails wagging, barking away  ;)
