Recently, I caught a bit of a segment on TV about Teacup Pigs. It seems that while science still struggles to find cures to fatal diseases plaguing our nation and world...we have made tremendous strides in breeding a better domesticated pig.
And not just ANY domesticated pig. A smaller, sleeker and infinitely more portable mini version. No joke. Watching these piggies on TV actually made me think I wanted one for about 5 minutes. What do you think our landlord would say? Hmmmmm.......
simply MUST get yourself a Teacup Pig...
1. They're cute. Anything small is cute. Add a pink frock and we have rocketed to Super-Cute status.
2. Potbellied Portability. At under 35 pounds, these little piggies can be carried around like yesterday's chic, Hollywood socialite, Toy Chihuahua.
3. They're not above being made into humiliating photo props. Imagine these on a Hallmark calendar with the words "Hang in There!" and "You deserve a break, Mom!"
4. The Weasly guy from the Harry Potter movies has one.
5. You neighbors never realized just how mundane and inferior their once prized cat was, until now. Ohhhh...snap!
6. They help you make important decorating decisions like which vinyl wall art to buy. I mean...this one is a no brainer, people.
7. You hopped on the "I love Cupcakes" bandwagon and now that it has played out you need a new trend to relish in that can be categorized as "all the rage in Britain".
In all seriousness. They are smarter than dogs, can be house trained, are very clean and affectionate.
Would you ever think about replacing Fido with a Teacup pig?

I think I'd have a moral dilemma of eating bacon after buying a teacup pig. So, no. I love bacon.
Sorry, I'm a carnivor!
They sure are cute. But, really? No, to many pork products consumed in this house. Do you think that the little guy would know when the bacon was cookin' in the fry pan?
Um no, thank you. No piggie for me. I'll stick to my furry dog who likes to destroy my flat. He's lucky I love him so much.
Hey, and you hear about dog and cat allergies, but very rarely do you hear about pig allergies!! It's the perfect pet for people with allergies to furry animals!
Yes, but it has less to do with the pig than the exciting prospect of getting rid of Fido.
yuck, pigs are GROSS. have you ever seen them at the state fair? YUCK.
I've always wanted a popbelly pig and I would name her piggy sue. She would run to the door and snort when someone came...like a guard pig.
Oh those are SO cute! Mini versions are always my favorite!
How cute are those. Would I get one? Yup..if I were in the market for a new pet. I've had just about one of everything over the years, so the little pig would fit right in.
Wanna see something even funnier? Google 'Skinny Pig' and you'll see a picture of a hairless guinea pig. So ugly that it's cute.
I figure if I wouldn't have any problem eating a dog than I would have any problem with a pig as a pet. I don't really see any reason why you can't still eat bacon and teach a pig to go in the litter box. You don't actually have to eat your little friend, if you don't want to.
DUDE....my college roomie came home one night with a pot belly...and it was a nightmare. Just thinking about it makes me want to blog! Dude...It was horrific. I say "No to the porker!"
ok i want a tea cup so bad. i would give up all pork and bacon for one of the piggys. i think that they r way cutter than doggs and cats.
look i love pork but if i got one of the tea cup pigs i could give it up . i dont know how u couldnt i am gonna buy one :)
