Hi everyone:
FI has decided that he is interested in adopting a Royal Dandie mini pig. At first I thought he was joking. When I realized he wasn''t I though surely he was insane. It seems these little fellows have captured his heart. When I first realized the typical pot belly can grow to be almost 200 lbs. I had to start to question not only the logistics of having a pig of that size roaming through the house but also what town ordinences could come into effect. After doing his dilligent research FI found Royal Dandie pigs are bread to stay under 50lbs - a tad bit larger than our cocker spanial (who crossed over the rainbow bridge several months ago).
At this point I have asked for a minimum of 6 months to research the pigs and decide if we think this could even work for the pig (and for us). We have spoken to our veterinarian who cares for such an addition and they were not hesitant to suggest them in the least. I am just wondering if any of you have any experience keeping pig as a pet. Everything I have read has made them seem like an absolute delight to own so I have to admit, my curiosity is getting the better of me!
