My next dilemma is whether to get a dog or a pig – not for Christmas – for life. A dog is furry but it does not have the comedy value of a pig. A pig however, would not be so nice to cuddle and might try to eat me if I inadvertently tripped over and had a funny turn in the kitchen. However, in the event of it rolling in something pungent, I would be able to wack it in the bath and towel dry it comparatively easy. I would not need to employ a hair dryer or special metallic implements to tackle tag-nuts and the like as I would with a canine. And what about pig poo? Does it come out curly-wurly? Do pigs go on heat? And will they dry-hump Aunty Bea’s plaster-case Venus De Milo? A pig could be for this Christmas but come next, it might be sausages. Watch this space!�

Beware. Grudge pig.
Delighted as i am to read about your interest in our porcine cousins, a note of caution. I aquired a piglet last christmas (much to the delight of my 4 small children) called Dave, all was well and we revelled in his snuffles and squeals and hilarious derring-do behaviour. We dressed him up often and took him around croydon on saturdays (hitler was his best one) and had a jolly good laugh!. This however was the agent of our downfall. Dave started getting increasingly aggressive and demanding, he tired of performing for the children and ended up hiding in his stye. We found poor dave dead a week later, we dont know how he died but we think he took his own life. If you have any heart be kind and gentle with your pig they may be a little more intelligent than the average person, thinks.
wrong wrong wrong! Why do we treat animals such as pigs (who are very intelligent) like us,? hitler indeed ! You should be shot Ted whoever you are. We have had to endure acting pigs and even treated to a minor celebrity wanking off one of these proud beasts. What next ?
