And then found out it wasn't going to be as easy as they thought, especially when they weren't little and cute anymore. There's always tons of them up for adoption.

Glad this girl found a good home.

Reminds me of an episode of "All Creatures Great & Small" when Mrs. Pumphrey got a baby pig as company for her Pekingese, Tricky Woo.
When James Heriot told her the pig couldn't live in the house, she was devastated.
"He can't live outside," she said. "He'll get pneumonia.'
Herriot's reply: "He's more likely to get pneumonia living inside."
He advised her to have her handyman, Hodgekin, build the pig a "nice pig sty with a long run."

Thanks, catbyte
