The woman lives in this area who is plugging them on tv news, she has them sleeping in her bed and all over the house. They were cute but not sure I would want one or several as she has all over the house and furniture, I don't even like dogs on sofas etc.

They cost around £700 I think it said, so not cheap which is good as it means not too many people will be able to afford them so people who aren't very good or responsible owners probably can't afford them anyway.

Ooh,mini,cocktail chops.

No,really,I don't eat meat and I do think pigs have had it rough.I suppose cats would have done too had they tasted good.

Won't be having one but would love to.There was a pot bellied pig in our local RSPCA which had been found wandering the streets in London.She was very intelligent.

Hope the people who have these little chaps do look after them and don't abandon them when the novelty wears off.
