Woman obsessed with pet pig, shares the bed with her
A 23-year-old Georgia woman loves Petunia, her pet pig — check out some of their fun adventures!
Sharing the bed at night with an animal is not out of bounds for many pet owners.
Nearly 74% of Americans shared their bed with a pet, a 2020 survey during the pandemic done by Stonyfield Organic found — and entire books have been written about pets sharing beds with their owners.
However, a pet pig is not normally the type of pet that shares a bed with its human.

Georgia resident Alexis Waldron, on the other hand, may disagree with that.
The 23-year-old often shares her bed with a KuneKune-Juliana mix pig — noting that the pig "hogs" the covers. (SEE THE VIDEO at the top of this article.)

"She uses her litter box. I had to put her in a tiny space so all she had was a space to eat, a place to sleep and a place to poop," she said.
Waldron said Petunia normally spends time outside running around.
The pig grazes in the garden for oats, carrots, bananas and apple sauce.
