Couple share home with 17-stone Vietnamese pot-bellied pigs - and they even hog the sofa!

 

Janey and Dave Bryne spend £100 a month on pig food, plus £350 to cut their trotters every three months

We all like a relaxing night pigging out in front of the TV - but this couple take it to the extreme.

Janey and Dave Bryne share their home with two 17-stone porkers, Meeka and Molly, who love to crash out with them in the living room and steal food from the cupboards.

But while Janey insists she has never been happier, it is not what she signed up for when she splashed out £350 on Meeka - who was meant to be a micro pig the size of a small dog.

She got the animal in 2009 and the receptionist, 45, said: "In six months she'd ballooned into a 17-stone beast. I'd actually been sold a Vietnamese pot-bellied pig."


And the giant pet caused tension with fireman husband Dave, also 45.

She said: "Dave would get annoyed when he couldn't fit on the sofa because Meeka was sprawled out on it. We'd end up in blazing rows and Dave often said, 'It's me or the pig'."

But he came around and last year they got Molly for £40 as company for Meeka and dogs Maisy and Monty.

The couple spend £100 a month on pig food, plus £350 to cut their trotters every three months.

Janey, of Laughterton, Lincs, said: "Dave moans but he loves them as much as I do. I see him cuddling them when he thinks I'm not looking."
