Games to Play with Your Pig
These are some games that I have invented to play with Dixie inside.

Smash
Materials: 1 soft pillow. 1 standing piggie.
Place the pillow on your piggie's back and roll it around her back. Chances are, the pig will grunt and walk away. Follow the pig and repeat the motion with the pillow. Eventually, the pig will think it is great fun to run by you, and as he runs by you, put the pillow on his back and roll it around. My pig thinks this game is lots of fun. She will run around me while I touch her with the pillow. However, make a "safe" zone (like in tag) that you will not follow your piggy into. I don't touch my pig when she runs into the kitchen. Therefore, if she wants to end the game, she can go into the kitchen for a minute, and I will take the hint.

Find the goodies
Materials: dried pig goodies (cereal, etc.), objects your pig can move around (frisbee, pillows, etc.).
This is a modified version of hide-and-go-seek for your pig. Test out the power of her snout! Hide treats in places where the pig can't see them. Hide a treat under a frisbee, or under a pillow. Hide a treat behind the bottom frillie part of the couch. See how many of the treats your pig finds. To get her started, hide some treats in visible areas, and she will go off looking. Be creative! I hid a treat in a shoe that was lying around.
