When u drive past a pig farm, take a notice at how big a hog is....this is how big Molly was only her belly hung lower. She was HUGH.
I had a bean bag, Molly thought it was hers. She would move it around with her nose until she got it perfect then lay on it. One of these days I'll dig out a picture of her and post it for everyone to see how big she was. She was something else. Had it just been me, I would have kept her but the older she got the more territorial she was becoming, and the more attitude she was getting.
I was raised on a farm, we had hogs and Molly had this hog like attitude. She reminded me of the hogs on the farm, the difference was she was very clean and picky about her cleaniness. She'd have no part of bad weather, wasnt going out in the heat, in the cold, no rain, no snow, she just didnt like the outdoors. Molly also would eat paper. If my girls laid their book bags on the floor, Molly would walk by and get into the bookbags to remove paper. How many teachers would believe a pig ate the homework?!
Molly was a learning experience for me. I got lots of bruises from her. From when she'd go into heat and she'd follow me around nudging me with her nose, non stop! This would last 3 days. I'd have to pen her up in the kitchen for 3 days. But it hurt and would bruise. Then she got so she'd maybe be mad because we had company or something, she'd walk past us, and swat us with her nose, make her grunting noise and keep right on walking to the room she was heading for. No idea what the heck it was about but oviously she was letting us know she wasnt happy about something! With jeans on the hit wasnt to bad, but in the summer when our legs were exposed, sometimes she'd get us just right it'd draw blood.
I wish I had lived on a farm where I could have fixed her up a perfect home in a barn. I truely loved her so much. And I would do it again if I had a home in the country in case the pig turned out to be a mix breed. In fact I want to get a pig again someday, just not a indoor pet. After Molly I understand if its not a purebred, inside a house is NOT the place for a hog. lol, Molly sure didnt know it! She was queen and this was her castle. But no, I'd wait until you have a good set up for a pig and good understanding of them.
