Your editor must be from Oregon. That's how our Milwaukie is spelled. It's a suburb of Portland.

This is actually happening around the country. Someone had a pet miniature goat in Arlington - it helped keep the grass short and they liked it as a pet.
Then the "I have no control over rules and regulations" people made them get rid of it.
I don't know what a modern review would find, but it might well find that some of these pot-bellied pigs and miniature goats are better than many of the dogs out there.

I have less problem with the pigs and goats people keep as pets than those they elect.

I was going to write Randy and ask if his title person was from Oregon, and if so, must be forgiven! For those of you who don't get it, Oregon has it's own Milwaukie, and we spell it correctly.

This is a rather presumptuous bit of elitist bigoted trash. How about showing a picture of the actual woman and her actual home?

I didn't compare her to Ellie May, she compared herself. You must think I'm near Milwaukee and can pop over there and take photos. Yeah, I'm in the Coloraddy Territory, but contrary to your presumption it isn't all that close. -rc

I live fairly near them and the critter is small and rather cute. Looking at the article as an outsider, yeah, it does sound rather "hickish" but locally it does hurt a bit to be the butt of ridicule. No pun intended. The political side of the story is in the same vein as the kid being kicked out of school for having an allergy pill in their locker. Does anyone question that elected officials can be absolute "asses"? Yet they are allowed to live in the city.

You don't "allow" them in, you invited them in by electing them! -rc
