So, being the animal lovers that we are, Mike and I were on the lookout for a nice indoor pet. I didn't want another dog (for many reasons-potty training, shedding, etc...). I really didn't want a cat-since I am allergic. However, I have always wanted a pig...since Charlotte's Web (the 1973 cartoon...and don't do the math because the movie is several years older than me...LOL!). The only problem was that little pigs...become big pigs...become gigantic pigs. I couldn't have a 200 lb. pig running around my house. Ewww...imagine the clean-up...gross! So, when I heard about a mini-pig, I was determined. After several weeks of research, I found the pig of my dreams...LOL.Meantime, Mike was on the look out for an exotic cat. He thought a hairless would be perfect for my allergies, and he stumbled upon the Bambino Sphinx. They are like the Sphinx, but they have short, thick, wide legs. Well, it just so happened that we were able to arrange for both pets to come home on the same day. (Cat (VooDoo) was coming from Florida, and Pig (Spartacus) was coming from Kentucky.) They have been growing up together ever since and are the best of friends. They snuggle up every day and night in their bed, play together, and endure the torturous love from the "little giants" (Maysie and Mylie). Both have great personalities and have made our farm...I mean home...complete. (Although I'd still like to have a pet wallaby...LOL)
I'm speechless!
ReplyDeleteThat picture of them is seriously adorable... I cannot wait to come see them both!
ReplyDeleteI just saw your story on Animal Planet and was trying to find a good picture to show my mother-in-law. She has a little piggy and her cat (part Siamese) and piggy are best friends. Although her piggy is a lot bigger than yours ;)
ReplyDeleteI kept thinking that your kitty and piggy are a cute unusual friends, you have to check out "Unlikely Friendships" on Facebook.
