Kids are such hams these days...

Now, I know that the craze of having pigs as house pets has died down again but I am really a fan of having a little piece of bacon running around the house. I joke, I really don't view our house pig as a tasty piece of meat, mainly because he will never go big enough for me to enjoy tasty meat. Really, He is a part of the family as much as any pet.

Domesticated pigs really do make good family animals and also help you with any trash problems because their stomachs can handle almost anything and they actually can be house trained.

Dog facts for your pleasure

As man's best friend, Dogs have a special place in our hearts. For many people, they are a member of the family and are treated as such. It is estimated 1 million dogs in the United States have been named as the primary beneficiary of their owner's will. There is a funny fact that Americans spend more money of dog food each year then they do on baby food.

I love my dog as much as the next guy but I wonder if our priorities are a little askew. I am with the other 18% of dog owners that allow my pets to sleep in my bed with me but I am not part of the 33% of dog owners that admit that they talk to their dogs on the phone or leave them a message while they are away. I have my limitations. It is nice to see that people can get so attached to their pets and it means that there is hope for the future.
