    I don't even know how I ended up here, but I believed this post was good.
    I don't realize who you are but certainly you are going to a well-known blogger when you aren't already.

    Howdy this is somewhat of off topic but I
    was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code
    with HTML. I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding experience so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience.

    Any help would be enormously appreciated!

    Forget tiny chihuahuas peeping out of handbags à la Paris
    Hilton, or Taylor Swift with her adorably grumpy looking Scottish Fold cats who
    have become celebrities in their own right. 

    When it comes to capturing my heart with a cuddly creature,
    it's the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger, 75, who's reinvented
    himself as the internet's favourite granddad with his wholesome life with a menagerie of animals, who has won me over.


    The jewel in the crown of his ever-growing brood of beasts is Schnelly the pig, who joined the family in April last year, making
    the star the latest in a long list of celebrities
    to realise the joys of a porky pal - along with Ariana Grande, Miley
    Cyrus and the Beckhams. 

    I'm completely smitten with the cuteness of pet pigs. I lose hours
    scrolling through Instagram, looking at pictures of furry little piglets with pretty
    pink snouts.

    There are 255,000 Insta posts with the hashtag #petpig and I've probably looked at all of them.
    Then there's the 286,000 posts hashtagged #micropig and I'd
    hazard a guess that I've seen all of those too.

    So I'm rather excited to discover that there's a pig farm less than an hour from central London, where I can find out what it's really like
    to have a porcine pet.

    While celebrities might get away with turning up
    to photoshoots, TV appearances and fancy restaurants with all manner of furry creatures, will I get the
    same reception if I take a pig for a stroll down the high street?





    Samantha Rea from London strolling down the high
    street in Old Amersham with Astrid, a 16 month old micro pig





    The pair stopped off at The Griffin, a private members club, bistro and bakery, for some refreshments after a trot
    down the high street 





    Samantha Rea spent time at the Kew Little Pig Farm in Amersham, Buckinghamshire to
    learn how to muck out and care for pigs 





    Learning how to feed hay to the pigs did make Samantha question whether
    it's easier to stick with a dog or cat as a pet 

    I'm hoping the Kew Little Pigs Farm will help me
    find out. It specialises in miniature pigs, which pig lovers can buy or 'adopt' to visit
    on the farm.

    Then there are the day trips. The Piggy Pet & Play package lets visitors 'pet,
    brush, groom, watch and play with the pigs.' The Pig Enthusiast package can include putting sun cream on the pigs, and the Comprehensive Guide to Pig Keeping teaches you everything you
    need to know before buying your own micro pig.


    Clearly I must go there!

    And so I head to Amersham, in Buckinghamshire, where Kew Little Pigs Farm is based.


    When I arrive, owner Olivia Mikhail looks slightly concerned at the sight of my
    Converse trainers and cropped jeans, a combination that will surely result in splattered shins.


    However, Olivia has no idea just how prepared I actually am, because
    I have packed not only knee high wellies for my time on the farm, but also my designer heels,
    for my glimpse into what life's like as a pig-owning celebrity.

    year





    Ariane Grande and Pete Davidson adopted Piggy Smallz during their short-lived romance in 2018





    Comedian John Bishop was left devastated when his rescue pig Milo passed
    away last year, describing him as the 'heartbeat' of the family





    Paris Hilton started the chihuahuas in handbags craze, and is also the
    proud owner of Princess Piglette

    George Clooney, Paris Hilton, Miley Cyrus, Jonathan Ross, Charlotte Church and even the Beckhams have all kept pigs as pets over
    the past decade or so, while more recently Ariane Grande and Pete Davidson adopted Piggy
    Smallz during their short-lived romance. 

    Comedian John Bishop gave rescue pig Milo a home for more than a decade and
    was devastated when the pet passed away, saying he was the 'heartbeat' of the family.



    They're as much a celeb accessory as oversized sunglasses - which is why I've brought those with me too.



    But first things first. Before I spend an afternoon taking a petite pig for a stroll,
    I sit down with Olivia in the Kew Little Pigs cafe, to complete the theory side of the Comprehensive Guide to Pig Keeping.


    It turns out there is quite a lot of admin involved in owning a pig,
    alongside a rule book thicker than Harry Potter. 

    Who knew that you needed a license to walk a pig? Who would
    imagine that you can't feed pigs your kitchen leftovers? It used to be common practice, but
    has been banned because of the risk of diseases such as African swine flu and foot and mouth disease that can be spread by consuming contaminated pork products. 

    Who can fathom having to fill out a form to drive your pig from one place to another - again for disease control reasons? 




    After all the admin and mucking out, Samantha was delighted to move
    on to the fun part - cuddles with Astrid 





    Samantha found that mucking out the pig pen was
    actually a lot more civilised than picking up poo
    on a dog walk 





    Samantha came armed with wellies for her day at the farm, but made sure to keep it glamorous 





    After swapping her flimsy trainers for wellies, Samantha felt equipped to tackle her day on the farm 

    And who would guess that pigs have to have their own house?
    I mean, it's only got to be about the size of shed, but it's actually a law to uphold welfare standards.


    I suppose none of this is an issue for celebrities who have people to do paperwork for
    them - not to mention acres of space - but to me it seems insurmountable.



    Olivia senses that my dreams are crushed and attempts to reassure me:
    'It's really not that much paperwork. Look, filling in this
    form would take two minutes.' 

    Moving on from the theory, we head outside for the practical part of the course.
    Here, in large pens, are lots of little pigs which are super cute, so this
    makes me happy.

    I am given a rake to claw the pig poo into a dustpan. Both the rake and the dustpan have long handles and I like the
    distance this creates. It is certainly more civilised than picking up poo in a flimsy plastic bag
    on a dog walk. 

    Clearing away pig excrement with proper equipment which allows you to maintain a civilised,
    and sanitary, distance makes me wonder if - despite the paperwork - pigs might
    just trump dogs.




    Samantha was worried she might attract stares walking Astrid through town, but nobody
    batted an eyelid 





    Samantha treated herself to a hot chocolate while Astrid enjoyed some pig treats 





    Samantha swapped her wellington boots for high heels to
    glam up to take her pet pig down to the town centre for lunch





    Taking a pig out for a walk is trickier than it looks, and a lot
    of treats are required to keep things on track 

    Next, Olivia asks if I would like to feed the pigs. Yes of course!
    She hands me some hay that's stuffed inside what's basically
    a large fishnet stocking, the size of Santa's sack.
    The hay sticks out of all the holes, and it's my job to hang
    up the sack in the pig pen, so the pigs can eat from it.

    This sounds easy. Only it's not. 'NOT THERE! NO! IT'S GOT TO
    BE HIGHER! TIE IT ROUND THE POST! NO! NOT LIKE THAT! NO!'

    I feel like a failing contestant on The Crystal Maze, only this is worse because I'm
    now surrounded by hungry pigs and I cannot see a panic button.

    I swear there was something on Netflix where murdered bodies were
    dumped in a pig pen, to be eaten by the pigs. Or maybe the bodies were eaten alive.
    This definitely happens all the time, according to TV,
    and now I don't even know which is worse, the prospect of
    being felled by pigs eating through my ankles, or the pressure to hang the hay correctly.



    It is like my challenge on The Crystal Maze has been especially devised to amuse the inhabitants of
    hell.

    I find myself grateful to make it out of the pig
    pen alive. Surely I get to do celebrity stuff now?

    Celebrities' pigs are as stylish as their owners, so I've sourced designer outfits for my trottered chums.
    I'd initially looked at diamond chokers by Dior, because what pig wouldn't want a
    diamond collar? But apparently pigs are happier in harnesses, which fit around the body,
    not just the neck.

    I hunt for a harness that an A-lister might pick for their pig, and I am delighted to discover
    a pink leopard print harness with a matching lead. 

    It is by Urban Pup, a pet fashion brand whose website I've now spent
    more time on than all the other websites in my search history.


    There's the zebra print, the cheetah print, the pink argyle; the florals, the tartans, and the hearts.
    There's the range inspired by Legally Blonde and the pet carrier that resembles a
    pink Chanel handbag.

    Then there are the socks…

    I turn up at the farm with more outfits for the pigs than I have for myself.

    I guess this is what it's like being a pig parent: #SELFLESS

    I am introduced to Astrid, a 16 month old micro piglet who'll fulfill my dreams of walking a pig.
    I show Olivia all the outfits I've brought from Urban Pup and she picks out a pink tartan harness with a matching lead.


    I want to dress up all the pigs but Olivia says no. That's OK.
    There is probably some law about only one pig at a time looking this stunning.


    When Astrid and I are dressed, we head into Old Amersham.

    It's a pretty market town in the Chilterns with cobbled streets and quaint white buildings
    with beams.

    So how will locals feel about a pig on a lead?


    I imagine I may be sternly spoken to by a member of the Women's Institute.

    However, it turns out that Old Amersham is perfectly au fait with celebrity antics, given that
    Poirot, Midsomer Murders and Four Weddings and a Funeral have all been filmed there.


    On my pig keeping course I have learnt that pigs never poo where they
    eat, sleep or socialise, because they're very clean, so from day one, without any training, a pig will go outside to poo.



    I am surprised then, as I arrive in Old Amersham, to find that Astrid has done
    her business in her carry box. I try not to think about
    this, as I hold her lead.

    Our first stop is the Amersham Museum. I'm not a massive fan of walking around
    looking at things, but I hear the museum homes a Tudor dining table that visitors are welcome to sit at.
    It is about lunchtime, so I'm hopeful I'll be served a Tudor banquet.
    I quite fancy a tankard of wine and a bit of wild boar.


    Unfortunately, Astrid does not, and so, despite being welcomed by museum director Briony, we leave pretty much as
    soon as we arrive.

    We go for a stroll instead, but I have to scatter
    pig food pellets to coax Astrid along the pavement.

    I guess celebrities get their assistants to walk ahead, trailing treats to entice the pet pigs in the right direction. 




    Hard at work: Writer Samantha Rea tried the Comprehensive Guide to Pig Keeping, which  teaches you everything you
    need to know before buying your own micro pig

    However, doing it without an assistant, I find myself thinking that it's definitely easier to walk a dog.


    Celebrity life is about lounging in luxurious surroundings, so Astrid and I head to The
    Griffin, a private members club, bistro and bakery, that's pretty much the Soho House
    of Amersham.

    In the beamed building that dates back to the
    17th century, there are gorgeous leather sofas and
    cosy cushions. However, I have learnt on my pig keeping course that pigs
    are happiest alfresco, so Astrid and I take a seat on the astro-turf
    terrace, beneath a pretty parasol that wouldn't be out of place in a Cotswolds shoot for Tatler.


    It is here, as we relax like A-listers, that Astrid and I
    are at our happiest. As I sip a coffee and eye-up a chocolate brownie (I'm being a
    celebrity, remember, I don't actually eat these things),
    Astrid puts her trotters up on the seat beside me and
    enjoys a few pig food pellets.

    Clearly this is our natural environment, so it's probably just a matter of time before Astrid is
    snapped up by a celebrity to live life first class. 

    But for now, Astrid must mooch back to the mud, and I must head home to wash pig
    poo off my wellies.

    I am chuffed to bits to have spent an afternoon with Astrid,
    but as I think it all over, on the train back to Marylebone, I know
    that I'll never keep a pig as a pet. 

    Aside from all the legal red tape, my lack of space in London, and
    the trickiness of trying to take a pig for a walk, there's always the fear that the
    micro pig might turn out to be not so tiny after all. 

    I've seen headlines about 4 ounce "teacup" pigs growing bigger than a bear, and frankly I find it terrifying.
    So I'll leave the pet pigs to the celebrities.
