Esther the Wonder Pig - Catherine - 12-31-2013
Esther is a pretty pig. She is also not the tiny little micro pig she was supposed to be. She is still pretty special. I can see why the love her.

She has a better Facebook Page than I do.
She is one smart pig.

Esther is lovely, but definitely not a micro pig!!
A lot of people seem to think they are buying "Micro" pigs when what they are getting are young pigs that just keep growing. It's a relief to see that they wanted to keep her anyway.

Esther must be pretty special. Once they had grown to love her they could not part with her. Otherwise they could have rehomed her to the country.
They do make good points about being sure you actually have a micro pig when you buy one. I guess you could learn to tell the age of a pig enough to tell the difference between a 6 month old Micro and a 6 weeks old big pig. I guess the teeth would tell you if you knew what to look for.
So yes you should look a gift pig in the mouth.
