This is the biography of a pig who had a major life-changing effect of the two men who took her in.
Steve is an animal lover to the max. When he got a call from an old friend about possibly taking in a mini-pig, as she couldn’t care for it properly, he said he’d see. When he met the pig, it was so small and so cute je just couldn’t say no. How big could it get? It’s a mini-pig!
Convincing his partner, Derek, to accept it as an addition to the two dogs and two cats was a hurdle, but it was accomplished. When the pig, whom they had named Esther, reached the 100 pound mark it became apparent she wasn’t a mini-pig. But the men had fallen in love with their pig and couldn’t give her up. The two had learned how smart, affectionate, loyal, stubborn, devious and endearing a pig could be.
Through Esther, the two men found their view of animals, and the care of them was important. Dietary changes — sort of hard to enjoy a piece of bacon when looking at your pet, housing — a three bedroom house is not large enough for a 300 pound pig, two cats, two dogs and two humans. They bought a farm and became animal advocates by sharing their life with Esther on social media.
There is a lot of humour in the telling, but also a lot of love for lives. And you can see for yourself as Esther is on Facebook and YouTube. Quite the star!… (mere)
