Oink: My Life with Mini-Pigs
Matt Whyman
2011, 312 pages
Nonfiction
Matt Whyman's wife, Emma, always wanted a large family. To this end, she chose to add two mini-pigs to their household of four children, one energetic dog, a vicious feline, and a frightened chicken. Mini-pigs are, after all, incredibly smart, trainable, and small enough to fit in a handbag. Or so Emma thought.
Oink is the hilarious story of a work-at-home author's life turned upside down by the entrance of mini-pigs Butch and Roxi. From the moment of their arrival, the new additions take the author on an adventure in mini-pig rearing; from housetraining to pig drunkenness to do-it-yourself artificial insemination. Oink is an entertaining romp through the challenges and joys associated with pet ownership.
