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.

I actually thought about having a pet pig. Asked a she'elah from a Masorti rav. Apparently, it's a no-no because it's a pig and a pig symbolises the Ultimate Treif. Now, I don't know if there are more lenient opinions out there or if you care altogether but I was bummed.

I had looked forward to being a rabbi strutting down the street with her pet pig on a leash, wearing a a t-shirt saying, "Love 'm, don't eat 'm".

That's a great idea for a hypo-allergenic pet!

Hi, I'm adding you, hope you don't mind. Your most recent post on political activism and the Gaza situation is exactly the sort of thing that angers me about the Left. Found you on feminist

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

Hi

I am Rabbi Sheldon Wayne Moss D.D. Ph.D. Thanks for the giggle.
I was interested in your pet project showing up tagged marital bliss.
I have done research on thoughtfully generated humor that is graciously received between couples. It provides a fast track into emotional openness with physical closeness which is the heart of intimacy. Check out my book on this matter.
