Meet Ellie (and Daisy) *located in Redding, CA

Daisy and Ellie May are six years old. They are the same age, sisters from another mother. I've had them since they were babies. They were spayed when they were very young. They're a bit overweight but we are changing their diet as of today, and hopefully they will lose some of their excess weight.
They're outside pigs and have been raised with dogs and cats. They like the cats but avoid the dogs and the dogs avoid them.
They're basically yard pigs, and I feel we don't interact with them near as much as we should. They're social and love belly rubs, especially Ellie. Neither has issues with being aggressive, although Ellie will act like she is when she encounters strangers or people who are afraid of her. She listens when told "no."
Ellie is quite a bit smaller than Daisy. I'm not sure what they weigh.
They have not been to a vet in about four years. They have both recently developed a limp in their front leg. I'm not sure if it's because of their weight, or if maybe they sprained the leg. I just contacted a vet who does home visits for mini pigs. I will be scheduling them an appointment in the next week or two, when the weather gets cooler. They will clip their hooves, deworm them, and give them an exam at that time.
