After a 10-year marriage, Gayla Thompson got a fresh start — in a pigsty.
Freshly divorced, the 33-year-old Nashville native traded in her messy husband for an even messier pig pen. In November 2025, Thompson welcomed eight-week-old Daisy — a tiny nine-pound piglet.
“I traded one pig for another,” Thompson said.
The divorcee says finalizing the split was the moment she decided to do something just for herself — securing the baby pig. Rolling in the mud, Daisy quickly grew into the center of her world.
“My ex-husband always told me I couldn’t have a pet pig,” Thompson said. “So when the divorce was settled, getting my dream pig was the best way to start my new life.” Explore More Two adult w Am I wrong to deny my sister-in-law the money my husband left for me?
Thompson is even planning to build a mini farm, where she aims to finally get her fairytale ending her marriage never did — even if it comes with a pigsty.
Now at 4 months old and weighing in at 50 pounds, Daisy has her own bed, toys and litter box — she even gets the weekly ride to her local spot.
“It’s not every day you see a pig on a leash at the store,” the Tennessee resident said. “She’s very well known at the pet store. All the employees love her; she’s part of the clean-up crew in every aisle.”
Thompson said Daisy is even a regular at popular fast food spot Sonic where she is treated to a “pup cup” from staff who “recognize her on sight.”
Despite raised eyebrows from strangers, the freshly divorced Thompson said her family wasn’t surprised in the slightest. Thompson was always an animal lover, helping rehabilitate injured creatures since she was a child.

Feel sorry for the pig (the animal one).
Which one is the pig?
all the ink tells me all I need to know.
Something tells me the husband was the lucky one ...
Not exactly Audrey Hepburn.
Yes the sounds it’s going to make when it gets tats done not going to be nice.
The husband did well getting rid of this skank.
This nutjob would do well as a Democrat party candidate for office.
She looks exactly as I expected. A feminist woke mind-hive democrat. /spit
Repeal the 19th amendment. Women are crazy. Oops its too late.
The jokes write themselves.
They can be as intelligent as 6 year-olds, and will pitch a fit like one for food. She’s gonna be sorry once she learns she has to babyproof her house and put a lock on her fridge, then take care of an animal that grows upwards of 400lbs all on her own.
He dodged a tactical nuke with this one.
Hey, for all we know, the husband really was a pig.
A woman that looks like that Ho is not a neat freak.
You can smell the stale cigarettes and beer.
I’d say the one with the tattoos.
So do I. But just the animal one.
If he was a Muslim, the piglet was an upgrade.
Let’s not give her any ideas now.
Very.
