00:33 - At the time, my ex-wife actually brought her home
00:36 and surprised us all.
00:37 She was just a small little pig and she was misinformed,
00:41 much like I was told a lot of people are,
00:43 that she was just gonna be a small, miniature,
00:46 pot-bellied pig.
00:48 And so I thought maybe she's gonna be,
00:51 you know, no more than maybe a loaf of bread,
00:53 but it wasn't the case.
00:55 (upbeat music)
00:57 (upbeat music continues)
01:01 And I explained to them that this is the teacup.
01:07 This is what they grow up to be.
01:09 When they're born, they'll fit into a teacup,
01:10 but they don't last like that.
01:12 Come on, girlfriend, don't sit.
01:15 Come on.
01:16 - I'm gonna put you in the farm.
01:18 - And do this.
01:18 It's not difficult to move them.
01:22 If they're willing to walk,
01:23 it's lifting them into the vehicle, that's the hard part.
01:26 It's gonna take probably more than two of us.
01:28 - All right, ready?
01:31 - Okay.
01:32 Watch that lip.
01:32 Watch that lip.
01:36 - There you go.
01:36 (upbeat music)
01:39 - She's packed on the pound.
01:43 (laughing)
01:45 I am beyond excited.
01:48 I am thrilled.
01:48 I cannot put my emotions into words.
01:51 I've waited for this all my life.
01:53 And so knowing that she's here,
01:55 I'm already getting emotional about it.
01:57 I'm thrilled to have this dream fulfilled.
02:00 My mom bought me a book about pigs when I was five.
02:07 And ever since then, it's been a goal of mine
02:10 to someday be able to accomplish that.
02:12 (upbeat music)
02:15 (truck engine roaring)
02:18 To me, a miniature pig now just means anything
02:38 smaller than a farm pig.
02:39 As long as it's under 400 pounds, to me it's miniature.
02:42 (laughing)
02:44 (upbeat music)
02:47 I love their oinks.
03:07 That's the cutest noise an animal can possibly make.
03:09 I love how intelligent they are.
03:11 I love that they will bond with their owners
03:13 and that they can be incredibly affectionate.
