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.

Yes, buy a pig! And then post pictures of it here! (Yes, pigs ARE my favourite animal)

I don't think that a pig would be a good idea in our one bedroom rented flat with a no pets policy. It was more something we were thinking about for in the distant future if we ever live somewhere with a reasonable sized garden where we're allowed pets.
