Vitamin C helps to ward off winter sniffles and colds, so check with your vet for proper dosages and start building up your pig's resistance now. There was a further note of importance in The Swine Times. A fly swatter is a useful training instrument for building a bond of respect between the owner and the pig. I also read the advertisements in the magazine and discovered that for those fortunate enough to have a designer pig, personalized bandanas, turtleneck sweaters, spandex jumpsuits, miniskirts, and overalls are available. For the California look, visors and sunglasses are available.
Some piglets even have their ears pierced.
In the fall of 1994 I had written an article in The Nashville Tennessean about Patti's. I've been all over the country eating, and if I had to choose one best restaurant, it'd be Patti's. Reports soon surfaced that my statement had been placed on the back of Patti's menu. I returned, not only to see if it was true, but to get a copy of my own. Sure enough, there it was.
