Anyone have pigs? Pet pigs, I've been looking into micro/teacup/mini potbellied pigs. Just curious about thoughts.
And yes, I know they don't remain tiny.

Sadly true...my previous pot-belly ran afoul of the city I lived in's exotic pet law. Basically:
Exotics cannot be outside without a human in attendance. Zoey Pig-pig therefore couldn't use her "doggy door" to go outside to do her business unless one of us went outside with her.
Exotics cannot make any sound that any neighbor finds annoying.
If any neighbor takes umbrage about the exotic, the owner must get rid of it within 72 hours, or pay $100/day in fines.
One day, when my youngest had a few friends over, they decided to throw Zoey's ball, for her to chase, and the neighbors directly behind us were upset about the sounds of children laughter and mini-pig joy. The animal control officer was over in about 30 minutes, writing tickets.
This same neighbor forced our next door neighbor to remove their basketball hoop (children make too much noise at play) and their in-ground swimming pool (again, children make too much noise at play)...finally, these neighbors moved, as, eventually, did we.
Amusingly, the folks who bought our house were big, hairy Harley-Davidson fanatics...

I guess you don't live in NY. I would feel sorry for anyone who caused trouble like that for their neighbor's.
He was tight with North Richland Hill's major.
Well, the pigs are expecting on my son's farm. I can't imagine how small they are going to be. The father is so tiny, and adorable.
This is the father Wilbur...so cute. I love him.
