I must be crazy! I want one of these tea-cup pigs!

[Shell Beau]

How cute is that? Awwwww!!!

[EstimatedProphet]

1. They don't stay that size...

[Shell Beau]

2. These poor little pigs have been bred down to stay very small!

I don't remember how big they do get, but they are called tea-cup pigs! Plus I like big fat pigs too!

[EstimatedProphet]

3. You say that now...

Will yopu still feel that way when you have a 1,000 lb pig in your living room?

[Shell Beau]

7. As long as he shares the couch, I am good to go!

:P

[SteppingRazor]

11. micro-mini pigs actually get no bigger than about 65 lbs, and full-size potbellies...

weigh in at about 300, tops.

Still, owning a pig, even a small one, is definitely a commitment.

[Shell Beau]

13. My husband wouldn't allow it I am sure. With 3 dogs already and a

baby on the way, the last thing I need is another pet. But one day, I will have a pig. I have always wanted one.

20. "owning a pig, even a small one, is definitely a commitment."

21. I've had worse room mates. n/t

4. I'm dying of "cuteness" overload!

How adorable.

[Shell Beau]

8. Too cute for words!

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. Single-sized bacon!

:rofl:

6. Ooooohhhh!!! Leave Porky, Jr. alone!

9. My mother in law got a pygymy pig as a pet. It lasted a few months.

To be fair to the pig, it was supposed to be a pygmy, but at a few months old it was already 25 pounds. I don't know what her kids were thinking.

[Shell Beau]

12. What happened to it?

[mondo joe]

14. They got the seller to take it back. It was a crazy idea they got after their dad died that she'd

like a pig to keep her company. In fairness, she had SAID she always wanted one. But she said it conversationally, not like she was declaring a strongly held lifetime desire.

[Connonym]

16. 25 lb is still pretty small

heh, in my family a 25 lb dog is still considered a lap dog.

[mondo joe]

18. Yeah but he was starting at 25 pounds. And she was elderly, and alone, and

quite frankly really didn't want a pet - so ever pound counted against the beast.

[Shell Beau]

19. Haha!! Mine too!

Hell my 110 lb dog is a lap dog!

[GoneOffShore]

10. Yum

Crunchy ham sandwich!!

15. oooh too cute

after seeing the photos last week of the dog nursing the piglet I've been thinking that I would love to have a little piggy. If I ever get my own house again I may consider one of the smaller breeds. I've got two big dogs so I'm used to bigger animals but I don't know that I'd want one that got bigger than me. It's my dream to some day have a little plot of land out in the middle of nowhere and have a bunch of dogs, a pet pig, a couple of hens for eggs, a big kitchen garden and try to live as much of a self-sustained lifestyle as I could (knowing full well I'd have to become vegetarian because I wouldn't be able to butcher an animal). That's the happy place I imagine when I'm having an anxiety attack. I hope someday it comes true.

Although, if anyone wants to start a commune I would seriously be interested in that too (in 6 years after my kids become adults).

[Shell Beau]

17. Your dream sounds a lot like mine! I want some land for

horses, cows, my dogs, and some piggies! Of course I too would have to become vegetarian because I could no longer eat meat that came from animals that I keep as pets!

22. Awwwwwww!

Too cute! :D
