I only hope that as he grows, they'll be able to build a harness/wheelie system big enough to support him.

I was wondering how the little guy sleeps at night. Maybe they take him out of the cart, but then what happens when nature calls?

ChrisPBacon was featured. He is now a full grown pig and has new wheels and gets around very well.

but hubby couldn't cope with it. He heard they root and tear up the yard. Plus when we visited a breeder, the piglet he picked up screamed bloody murder until he put it down! Did not exactly endear itself to hubby.

And in the barn yard there was a 3 legged hog. The farmer was out and I asked him about the hog.

He said that pig saved my life! I assumed the hog lost the leg in the process and asked the farmer about it.

And he replied hell no, it had nothing to do with his saving me. Seeing my confusion, he went on saying well, once a pig saves your life, you can't eat him all at once.
