Octomom Nadya Suleman 'Looking Into' Getting Pet Pig

Apr 27th 2009

What do you do if you're 33 year-old Nadya Suleman, the unemployed single mother of 14 children who was living with her parents when she gave birth to octuplets in January? You get kicked out of your parents' house because it's in foreclosure, become regular tabloid fodder, appear on Dr. Phil, get a reality TV show, trademark the name "Octomom," and somehow buy a $564,000 house in La Habra, California.

Oh, and you search for a pet pig because your life just isn't bizarre enough already.

"For a couple of years, the kids have been asking for a dog," Suleman told the San Gabriel Valley Tribune. "I've actually been looking into a pig, like a little one." (No word why she would search for a pig, when her kids asked for a dog.) Suleman says she would slap a diaper on the pig and make it live outside, where it will be less likely to offend anyone with its smell.

Suleman also said she is "considering a teacup Pomeranian or similar small dog." Yes, because that's exactly what you need when you're raising 14 children all under the age of 8 -- a tiny dog they can terrorize with their well-intentioned poking and cuddling.

What do you think? Should Suleman get a pet for her kids, whether it's a pig or a dog?
