We just adopted a pig.
We named her Janeway, and she's in the living room in her huge crate oinking and tearing up newspaper. She's cool, even if she's not quite warmed up to us yet. It's only day three, but she's progressed to eating apple pieces from our hands and Caleb says that she let him rub her tummy this morning (which is hugely unfair because I get home first in the afternoons, so I've been the one cleaning up her poops but okay, Janeway, I see how it is).
Our spitz Gatsby (my dog) is interested and stares at her while wagging his tail and making weird whiney noises. Janeway oinks and also wags her tail.
Our chihuahua Q*Bert (Caleb's dog) thinks this pig is some bullshit (surprise).
I let Gatsby and Janeway touch noses today. That was cute.
Anyway, as we're adjusting to this new creature in the house, I started wondering about everyone else's experience with unusual pets (looking at you, Australia). Also I'm all of a sudden way less busy (yay) and thought I'd try being active here again.
What's the weirdest animal you've ever kept as a pet? And if you haven't had a very weird pet, what's the weirdest thing your pet has ever done?
I could write for pages about Gatsby. I'll just let you guys get started instead.
