This little piggy makes the perfect pet

Micro pigs are the new must-have pets – even Victoria Beckham has bought two for David for Christmas. But please think carefully before you rush out to buy one. It seems every other year a new pet fad comes about. Remember "Nemo" the Clown Fish? Everybody wanted one, but where are they now?

If you're thinking of getting a new pet for your family, you might consider discussing with them whose responsibility it will be to look after the little critter. Kids also promise they'll do it -- usually while in the throws of begging for the new pet. But it doesn't always work out that way. Just ask American First Lady Michelle Obama who looks after "Bo".

Anyway, enjoy the article. I did!
