Some people get a pet without thinking about how big it will grow. Others put a lot of thought into the pet's ultimate size before deciding on which pet to get. Apparently the best-laid plans of men and mice can go awry...
So Colin Webb thought that he had found the perfect present for his wife Susie, when he bought her a small piglet. This is a cross between a Miniature Pot Bellied pig and a Gloucester Old Spot. Which is supposed to be only as tall as 14 inches and weigh not more than four and a half stones (a bit less than 30kg). Max.
Except nobody told the little piglet that it was supposed to be small. So it just grew and grew and grew. Now it's three feet tall at the shoulders and weigh 25 stones (almost 150kg). And still growing by the day.
What would you do if you have a pet that just grows and grows and grows?
