Eddie, I enjoyed your pig story immensly.
I think the pet pig is one of the best pets a person can have. If they ever tick you off you can just eat'em. People tend to frown on others eating cat or dawg but don't think nothing about a pig. {igs across America should stand up and be counted... We do need after all a total of how many strips of bacon there will be for the party...
Your story made me think about my dad's pig. My sister had a gotten a potbellied pig and likded him so much she decided to raise them to sell. She got another one from some where. The first pot belly pig she had was about 16 weeks and weighed about 2 ish pounds and was solid black. She got the second piglet at about 6 weeks and it weighed about 6 pounds. She kept trying to pawn it off as a pot bellied pick to one of her siblings (me and our 4 other brothers or sisters).
My dad came by one night and he felt sorry for the P-I-G-hawg (as Justin Wilson would say) he left with "Arnold". He kept arnold in the house along with his other cats and dawgs. They too played together. Well in a couple of years Arnold grew to well over 500# (just a guess, but he was about 6-7 foot long and huge). We think he was a Poland China... I kept offering to take Arnold out for an extended walk down to the BBQ pit but never got the ok. Dad just loves animals. I do too but especially with taters and carrots. :licking:
Arnold became very sick and couldn't get up. They put him to sleep and buried him in the yard.
He was a generous source of entertainment for him and my step mom. I hope he will be the same for you.
PS... If you ever wanted to do a pig picking... I'm wid ya....

Ha ha ha ha. I love the video. That pig is some entertaining. 354lbs is huge too, imagine a dog that size.
Cool, thanks Eddie.
