Anyone else have a pet pig?

[Blackcobra]

Hahaha - quite used to the begging:




She's bigger than Charlie, but I think he is gaining. I need to weigh him - he might be closer to 70# than 60# now.

Some years back my sister had a really nice Vietnamese Potbelly pig because she's allergic to cats and dogs. Great pet, clean, gentle, friendly and quiet. Neighbor found out somehow and launched a non-stop attack on her via the City, something about residential Salem not being zoned for farming. "Sam" is no longer with us. But I thought I'd mention that it makes sense to research local rules regarding unique pets, especially if you live next door to a dickhead.

Wow - that sucks. Pigs are pretty easygoing animals. Unless he was next door rooting up their yard, I don't see how it would be offensive to be a pig's neighbor.

That's the thing. He never did that. And they picked up his turds daily. He was like a dog - but quiet.

Some people just make it their mission in life to f__ with others.

Nobody ever sees the loving side of our pig. Don't get me wrong she's very aggressive but not with us. It's actually interesting, she's aggressive in our house but in other environments she's cool as a clam. If I took her to your house she'd attack anyone whose smell wasn't normal except for your fam. It's weird. We used to leave her with my gmaw and she'd attack my pops and aunt, even though she knew them... But it wasn't their house.... Pigs are very smart weird animals.....She doesn't like the dogs though and their scared sh! Tless of her....I wouldn't trade her for the world!!!

Looks like yours loves to snuggle into blankets, as well. My pig will burrow in to whatever he can with just his snout holes sticking out

He scooted two of the dog beds together on the porch and climbed in:

So you are saying that I need to tie a slab of bacon around my neck to get miss piggy to talk to me?

Thinking that looks like a weight reduction program with a good workout in the process. I would die of a heart attack just running after her, so much for wind sprints

Own a pig?
No.. BUT I WANT ONE NOW!

I have to say, my piggy (Koral) passed away today. We're devastated. Words can't even explain our feelings...I'm soooooo sad...here's the last pic I took a couple hours before....

 

[Blackcobra]

Man that breaks my heart. I'm so sorry about your pig. I know she was family. It will hurt for a while.

Feel good you gave that pig a great life and loving home. Even though she will never be replaced, I hope you get a new piglet someday and give him/her a great life, too.

Sorry to hear that, pets are family as far as I am concerned. I don't think I would ever have a pig, but to each their own. I will save the joke I was going to make for a better time. Stay strong. It was once said the time for a man to cry is when he loses a good dog. I am sure it goes for pigs as well.
