Hog Heaven – (Jan 14, 2007)

On a sunny Sunday a while ago, I paid a visit to Keren and her private little "Lamma Zoo" up in Tai Peng. A veritable Hog Heaven, it's the home of the locally famous Sumo the Pot-Bellied Pig (above right) and his companion Peggy (above left). But it also features a koi pond, a kind of parakeet bird, dogs, cats, various little critters and a wide range of subtropical trees and plants, all in a beautifully landscaped setting with an amazing view.

Families with little children love to visit on weekends and some even bring kitchen scraps to feed this almost vegetarian pair of hogs.

P.S. Breaking sad news just in: Keren will have to move out very soon. If you know of a place for her and her animals to move to, contact me or her directly.
