Piiiiiiiiig! OMG!

[tripperfunster]

Today we went to the Morris Stampede, which is a bit of a low-rent, small town thing, with chuck wagon races and rides and a petting zoo, etc. It turns out I know the lady running the petting zoo, I'd bought a goat from her a few years back. Anyhoo, at the zoo there was this CUUUUUTE little polka-dot pot bellied pig running around, and I was IN LOVE with it.

I told her that it was so cute that I almost ate it, and she said IT WAS FOR SALE. omg. Never tell me that a cute animal is available for me to take home and smother with lurve.

Needless to say, I now own the CUTEST PIG IN THE UNIVERSE. He has polka dots!

I'll post more pics soon.


This is him bumping noses with my bunny Chelsea. I named him MORRIS.

He is a very cute pig. Morris is a cute name.

Thanks! Morris was the town we bought him in, so I thought it was appropriate. :D

Such a cute piggy! Morris is an apt name. Omg, your bunny is as big as the pig!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Well, Morris is still just a baby, so he's got some growing to do. Hopefully he'll max out around 30 lbs, but only time will tell.

If Morris is full grown and Chelsea is a normal sized rabbit, oh my. Tiny.
Does Chelsea like him?
He is cute for a pig. You don't have to fix boars do you, to prevent aggressive tendencies?

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Ha, no. Morris is still a baby. From everything I've heard, Micro pigs (http://www.valleyblossoms.com/) are an expensive line of bullshit.

The bunny is a regular sized Netherland Dwarf, so Morris is crazy small right now, but should end up around 30ish lbs, which is pretty damn small for a pig, but still bigger than the weenie little thing that he is now.

As for fixing, yes, I'll be doing that soon. I don't know how aggressive they get, but the un-nuetuered ones SMELL! From everything I've heard, it's the females that get grumpy when they mature.

Awww, he's all cute and spotteh <3

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

INORITE? I have a thing for spotted animals.

Morris is adorable. I keep threatening to bring home a baby pygmy goat; I've always wanted one.

I've had Nigerian Dwarf goats (https://www.google.ca/search?q=nigerian+dwarf+goats&safe=off&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=GybsUYjpLMS4igLPuYHYCQ&sqi=2&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1440&bih=769#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=CQLRawZQ5Hk7QM%3A%3BAm5r9mbvBVALJM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.evolutionskennel.net%252FOpi%2526BabyGoatsMarch09.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.evolutionskennel.net%252Faboutus.htm%3B800%3B600)

They are more petite and less .. .squat than the pygmy ones. Same crazy personality, I assume. ;)

Love the little blond head hair he has going on!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

:D Toupee!

OMG HE IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE! I love piggies. They're adorable and smart. Sadly, I still like to eat bacon.

It's also got this song stuck in my head. LOL

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

I eat bacon too! But not HIS bacon, specifically. ;)

Eeeeee, he is so cute! Lookit his little spots!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

INORITE? I seriously had NO PLANS in owning another pig, but this one was SO DAMN CUTE that I lost my mind.

I don't think hubby will let me near a petting zoo again any time soon. ;)

[dickgloucester.livejournal.com]

Awwwwww. Cute pig!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

:D thank you! I am in love!

[tracy7307.livejournal.com]

OMFG. I WANT TO EAT HIS FAAAAACE.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

The belly is much more tender!! :D

Why is that that we humans show how cute something is by how much we want to eat it? (or squish it to death) I totally do that all the time!

[tracy7307.livejournal.com]

I have no idea! It's an odd way of communicating the level of cute we find something. I think if you want to EAT ITS FACE that has to be one of the highest levels of cute, though.

[chocolate-frapp.livejournal.com]

what a cutie!



(now i feel guilty for eating bacon for breakfast this morning)

[leoparda.livejournal.com]

Pork-a-dots!

[eldriwolf.livejournal.com]

Sweet! I hope he is one of the *Small* pot-belly pigs-
--some of them get pretty large.
Blessings to you!

( I once brought a chicken back from the poultry exhibit at the fair grounds, I totally understand the "must have this cuteness"

[luvscharlie.livejournal.com]

Morris may be the best pig name ever!

[huntress1013.livejournal.com]

Keep the pig (he is cute though like really, really cute) cuz I'll take the fluffy bunny yes I do :nods: Me like bunnies. Bunnies are goooooood.

[tealightwhimsy.livejournal.com]
