Lucy, the urban pig

We saw this pig on a leash in the Navy Yard district, enjoying the grass in an open space there, and just had to stop. The owner said she wasn’t friendly to strangers and that she lived with her in the city and also spent time on a pig farm in the country.

The dogwoods have started to bloom, posted earlier:

Same personality as Lucy Van Pelt, apparently.

Pretty cute for an unfriendly pig. They better enjoy him not because if won’t be full grown fun. V

I suspect the owner bought her as a wee little baby thinking she wasn't going to grow so large.

You see more strange things around town but this is one of the strangest.

A lovely portrait, even as I cannot understand the sweater. BV

I hope her sweater grows as she does. LOL. This is sillier than a dog in a sweater. Did the owner say if this is a Pot Belly Pig that doesn't grow as huge as the normal farm ones??? My old vet owned a Pot Belly, but even with it being a "miniature" pig, it soon outgrew his house. He had to rehome it to a farm. Right now, this pig is kind of cute. However, you sure don't want to mess with a pig that isn't friendly. However, friendly pigs can be fascinating.
