Its 2007, the Year of the Pig! Top 10 reasons why pigs make great pets
It’s the Year of the Pig, so of course the first thing that springs to mind is a pet pig right? This site has some info I didn’t know about why pigs (specifically Vietnamese Pot Belly pigs) make great pets.
Top 10 Reasons Pigs Make Great Pets
- Price is around the same amount as a pedigree dog or cat
- Non-allergenic in most cases
- Clean and odor-free
- No fleas
- They are about the size of a medium sized dog
- Long life span (12-20 years)
- Non-destructive, unlike a puppy
- Quickly trained: litterbox, tricks, walking harness, etc.
- Low maintenance: annual vet visit, generally stronger immune system than a dog or cat
- Intelligent, Social, and Communicative
Hm. For some reason, I would still prefer a dog or cat..
Remember, a pig is for life, not just for new year…
Look! Ahh.. Year of the Dog hands over to Year of the Pig!

Malý Buddha in Prague - excellent veggie cuisine, exotic juices and teas
In case you’re in Prague (the exchange rate against the pound is a great reason!), one place you have to visit is Malý Buddha, which is just up the hill from the castle.
Malý Buddha is a buddhist tea room that serves excellent vietnamese vegetarian cuisine, exotic juices and of course, a wide range of herbal, fruit and other teas, all within an intimate, relaxing atmosphere. Portions are large and the prices are good. With a Buddhist temple at one end, and martial art classes taught there during the day, its an interesting oriental haven, least expected in Prague. Malý Buddha is the one place I always recommend to friends and we’ll be back there for more!
