An influencer who owns a 175-pound pig says she treats him like her child and loves giving him loads of affection and cuddles. YouTuber Simone Partner from Bath in the UK, bought the pig for roughly $650 when she bought her first home three years ago and the pair have been inseparable ever since.
- The 28-year-old has always wanted a pig. Partner grew up on a farm in the countryside and always dreamed of having her own pig. However, it wasn’t until she got her own place that she was able to make her dream a reality. Now, Milo is a treasured member of the family.
- Milo is a whole lot bigger than he used to be. While Milo was a tiny little pig when Simone first bought him, he’s now pretty gigantic! However, he doesn’t realize it – he still loves cuddles and hanging out with Simone’s pet dog, Brooke.
- People do think she’s kinda nuts… Brooke and her fiance Joe go out of their way to ensure Milo lives a comfortable life, which not everyone understands. “People think we are mad, especially when they see him happily sprint across the patch of grass by our home,” she said, according to The Sun. “But mostly people are fascinated by Milo and they are always asking to come around and see him. We get asked if we can take him on walks just like a dog, but you need a special license to do that believe it or not.”
- They can’t even make bacon anymore. Brooke and Joe can’t eat bacon anymore now that Milo is part of their family, and they make sure his diet is healthy too. “His belly is like clockwork. Between 5.45 p.m. and 6pm every day he will stop whatever he is doing and scream for his food,” Brooke said. “His diet is healthier than ours and consists of fresh fruit and vegetables and special pig pellets. He is tidy and completely house-trained other than when he loves to bring straw into the house from his outside bedding, which I always have to clean up after him.”
- Milo loves sleeping on the sofa. Sure, he has his own proper piggy house in the back yard, but mostly he prefers curling up indoors. “He has his own ‘pig-proof’ house in the back garden where he sleeps at night but most days he loves sleeping on the sofa, snuggled up to the pillows, his mermaid blanket and squeaky toys,” Brooke explained. “He can sleep there for hours at a time. He really does have the life.”
