Rescued from a factory farm when he was just a tiny piglet, Andy narrowly avoided a sad fate and instead found refuge at Farm Sanctuary’s New York Shelter.

Years later, this dynamic young pig has made quite a different life for himself, making lots of good friends and reveling in even the simplest pleasures. Naturally, Farm Sanctuary couldn’t resist sharing this delightful photo of Andy munching on some leftover pumpkins from their Celebration FOR the Turkeys.

1. Take More Cat Naps. Cats sleeps eighteen hours a day and always look refreshed. Instead of exercising so much, give in and share a nap with your feline friend.
