PixQuote:
"Unless a picture shocks, it is nothing."
-Marcel Duchamp

PixNote:
The pot-bellied pig is a breed of domestic pig originating in Vietnam. Considerably smaller than standard American or European farm pigs, most adult pot-bellied pigs are about the size of a medium- or large-breed dog, though their bodies are denser at a weight of around 200 lb (90 kg). Pot-bellied pigs can be easily discerned from other pig breeds by their size, their short snout, and their large pot belly. (ref:Wikipedia)

They were very popular here as house pets in the 1980's, but not so much now, as it was a "fad."
They are easily housebroken & trained, and are clean.

They happen to be one of the most inteligent species..it is hard for me to see them as bacon now.
