A couple of days ago Alec and I were chatting about the future and came up with an idea of how we could one day have a family pet despite Alec being allergic to fur and feathers. Pigs! As intelligent and sociable as a dog but without the allergy inducing fur and either way, they live outside. Also good because they can be fed a vegetarian diet. It's illegal to feed pigs food which could have been in contact with any meat, so kitchen scraps from a diary kosher kitchen are almost perfect to supplement their diet. Another plus is that it would probably ensure that our children never ate pork.

Ah, that's no fun. Most pets are treif. Alec was more looking forward to taking the pigs to church with him for morning prayer. I suggested we could have guest the weight of the pig competitions at the parish fair and he could use the pigs as inappropriate visual aids for children's talks.
