I want one that I will either name Wilbur or Arthur if it's a boy and either Mathilda or Fancy if it's a girl.

yes and yes , I have a friend she have a pig as a pet . His name was Henry . She used to live in Atlanta , but moved away due to her ill mother . It was male and a great pet . I agree there is a big misconception about pigs , they are clean and loyal .

He was really big and when she have to go first time out of town to see her mom , I was taking care of pig . I have to admit, I was intimidated by his size and not knowing me as well I didn't know how he will react to me especially without presence of his mom . She wrote for me his feeding schedule , time he suppose to be outside and I faithfully followed her orders . She was gone for a week only , we really never become a friends , but he never hurt me or acted aggressive to me .

Since I always been a city girl it was experience for me , but Henry and I made it quiet well .

I respect sharks. I respect any animal that can rip me in two with one good bite and twist. As a show of my respect, I do not go into the ocean and pretend that I am a human turtle on a board and, in return, I have not been eaten.

Carry on.

It's like a giant hamster.

Interesting side note for catholics - papal dispensation has made the capybara a fish. So this lent don't forget the capybara burgers.

OMG I love these. There are videos on YouTube of people scratching them and the capybara squealing with joy. I'll try to post one:
