We have been staying at our friends Mike and Paula's place in Park City. Since we have not seen them in quite a while, it was a thrill to know that they planned on being here at the same time.
Their prime reason for being in Park City was to relocate their pet pot-bellied pig - Millie - from San Diego to Park City. Mike and Paula have had Millie for 8 years, and with changes up coming, they needed to shift Millie. The plan was to more or less set her up in a local farmstand type of deal, quite nearby their place. Millie would have been the show pig at the farm.
It didn't work out - Millie became somewhat aggressive with the new owner and things began to go downhill from there. No benefit in having a "petting zoo" pig that may prove to be too aggressive around children. She basically flunked her audition. We think she really didn't want to be here and wanted to "go home"!
So, Mike and Paula had to schlep Millie back to San Diego and come up with a Plan B.
We found Millie to be quite an attractive little girl (185 LBS), but likely will not be added to our list of "pets sat for". Just before they returned to SD, we had time play with Millie and take her for a walk in the neighborhood. On the walk, Millie turned a lot of heads!
