My girlfriend alerted me that, after watching that, she MUST have a cute little piglet like that that will stay little forever.

Hee hee. That cat is SO not amused.

Too bad they don’t stay tiny and cute forever, though. ☹

Apparently they do! [http://www.royaldandie.com/pricing.htm](http://www.royaldandie.com/pricing.htm)

They are miniature and teacup potbellied pigs! Who knew?

That was pretty cute but I didn’t need the extreme close-up of it peeing.

That is one heartstopping little piggie!

I’ve stopped eating pork because porks are such lovely little critters. They’re smart & affectionate & the wag their tails and I just couldn’t do it anymore. I haven’t regretted. I’d like to get a little piglet but it won’t be until I get my own place.

Awwwwwwwww…

Even the mini-pigs get a little bit bigger once they’re full-grown, though. From what I see on the site, they’re roughly the size of a Maine Coon cat once full-grown.

Still smaller than your average pot-bellied pig, that’s for sure, but OMG… there aren’t enough squees to justify $2,500.00 to $3,400.00. :eek:

I don’t know about that. Maine Coons are large, but I certainly wouldn’t say they average from 29 to 39 lbs.

Hope these “Royal Dandie” people are legitimate. They sure didn’t spend any money on having their site proofread. “Parisites”?

It reads like a lot of dog breeder websites I’ve encountered. Thankfully it didn’t have any music. I didn’t see any reason for it to be fake, just homemade.

They are expensive per pound. 😃

Meezer is NOT AMUSED. I, on the other hand, was quite amused at the little legs blurring with motion, and the fact that the pig was smaller than the human’s foot.

Seconded. Seeing its little legs all ablur as it ran, and watching it unhesitatingly plunge into the surf to follow the man, were pretty adorable though.
