I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter Day!!

Hi, my name is Wilbur. I'm the new Juliana pig in town. I am looking for a lovely lady to be my forever wife. I just got some property in Arizona and I am having my house built here at Lil Goat Town. I like to take long walks on the farm, I'm not into yoga( leave that to the goats), like getting caught in the rain, like romantic dinners during the sunset, love to take mud baths, and I have my own private pool. I am almost a year old and looking for "Some Pig" to share this with. I am unable to have children so it would be just you and I. If there are any young lady pigs that are interested in me, please give me a call. My number is 480 861 9431.
