In Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania, a family is blaming their pet pot-bellied pig for setting their home on fire. Margaret Painter said she gave Albert the pig extra hay because it was going to snow. She thinks he knocked hay into his heat lamp and caught the house on fire early New Year’s Day morning. The Painters and their children escaped. They said they lost two cats, but three survived. Albert, the pot-bellied pig, suffered burns but survived as well. He was taken to a veterinary clinic to be treated, with brown sugar and maybe some chutney.
* But what’s left of the house smells delicious, like bacon.
* Trying to kill the family in their sleep. Obviously, Albert thinks he’s a cat.
* New for 2024: the Self-Roasting Ham.
* Time for yet another warning label on heat lamps.
* Another argument for aquariums.
* Dang! Now I’m really hungry for Denny’s Triple Bacon Slam.
