I not really a dog or cat person. This probably has to do with the fact that I was terrified of dogs for most of my childhood and even to this day, they sense my apprehension. When I get my own apartment one day, I still do want a pet and after hearing about this breed of domesticated miniature house pigs, I was dead set on getting one. I mean just look at them....too cute, right? I did some research on them and found they aren't more than 20 lbs when full grown, use a litter box, and are relatively clean (which is not a word I usually associate with pigs...). But then I saw the price tag - $5,000!!!! Of course that killed the dream right away - 5 grand for a mini pig? Sigh. Perhaps if I win the lottery this purchase would seem a bit more reasonable. The idea of having a miniature pig that you could take for walks and name it something grand like Isabella or Frankfurt (I would love to give a pig a royal, grandiose sounding name...it would be so ironic) just sounds too fun! Oh well, when pigs fly!Wednesday, January 13, 2010

Hullo there, I'm Suzy by the way. I stumbled across your lovely blog whilst researching my latest post - all about what Marie Antoinette would wear now.

I always think of the posts Agathe of Style Bytes did on her pet pig. It sounded like a challenging animal. Sort of like a border collie in its need to be entertained.
I have wanted a potbellied pig since I was 7-years-old. I have read books, done research, everything. Obviously, I still don't have one; but I love them SO much! Cutest. Picture. Ever!! :)
They are really cute, but sooo expensive!
Soooo cute. What a tiny little piggy. I want one.
Reminds me of the pig in Uptown Girls! Sounds like an adorable pet :)
This little pig was so endearing I didn't, at first, even think he was real!
awwwwww!
my uncle gave my aunt a pig for one of their anniversaries! but it did not stay little for long!
How adorable! too bad they are so expensive
AWWWW The little munschkin is so cute!!!!
Oh my goodness, so cute! I heard they were pricey, but I didn't know they were that expensive. My dog actually kind of looks like a pig though (she's a Pekingese), so close enough :)
