Tiny peeg, tiny feets

by Meg on September 13, 2008

Sender-Inner Ellen recently snorgled this pot-bellied piglet with the tiniest of feets.

He’s about 10 days old, and lives at Domino’spetting farm in Ann Arbor, MI.

According to Ellen, there are about 20 of thesefreshly-borned little guys running around in the pen, and they all sleep togetherin a long line. Ahn. [Head tilt]

A cute, bleeny, piggy indeed – but those feet are rather worrying

Tiny peeg….biiiiiig eyelashes! He looks ever so soft and kissable.

3 Redzilla 09.13.08 at 8:07 pm

Those little porcine feets are so cute, I would nibble them, even though they’re not kosher.

4 chanpon 09.13.08 at 8:11 pm

Trot-lets?

5 Theresa 09.13.08 at 8:15 pm

EYELASHES!!! Wheeee!!!! Soft, floppy ears, and a snoutlicious nose!!!

My hometown! Maize and Blue Piggies REPRESENT! Go Blue!

Just don’t lick the wet snortsicle; there’ll be an uproar.

8 biscuithead 09.13.08 at 8:26 pm

Those teensiest of feets are also called trotters + I want to nibble them!
Then snorgle da belly!

9 Bird of Paradise 09.13.08 at 8:29 pm

Yay, I’m in Ann Arbor too! I must visit this place!

11 Zandor 09.13.08 at 8:51 pm

That is so cute.

12 Sarah 09.13.08 at 8:52 pm

O look how clean are the little trotters! I want to touch them with my nose.

13 (the original) Mel 09.13.08 at 8:53 pm

Ham hocklettes.

14 firefinch 09.13.08 at 9:03 pm

They have llamas there, too. Sometimes you can see them from the freeway as you drive by.

15 Decca 09.13.08 at 9:08 pm

The ears! The ears!

16 Karen in Toronto 09.13.08 at 9:10 pm

I’ll be the first to note the very nice manicure on the piglet-holder. And that’s a really soft and cozy looking shirt the piggeh is snuggling up to.

17 snorglepup 09.13.08 at 9:32 pm

Hamtocks!
Excellent footage, indeed!

18 Theresa V 09.13.08 at 10:21 pm

yes, beautifully manicured hands to display this adorable leetle piggy!
The head fuzz is makin me crazy

19 bricklyaer 09.13.08 at 10:23 pm

Domino’s Farm? He’ll be pepperoni soon!

20 260Oakley 09.13.08 at 10:27 pm

I bet if you combined this piglet with the rescued bunny from Ireland the result would be a Black Hole of Cute that could destroy us all.

21 momof2kitties 09.13.08 at 10:49 pm

Hey, I’m close to A-squared, too! I like seeing those long horned cattle-ish thingies when we go by on the highway.

And yeah, my team let me down big time today. Go Baroooo!!! :-(

22 momof2kitties 09.13.08 at 10:51 pm

I just looked it up. It’s the watusi that’s so cool. And fun to say!

watusiwatusiwatusi…

23 Shar 09.13.08 at 10:54 pm

This is a catur-piggie-day? A cat-a-pigg-ur-ie-day? A piggie on caturday?? A catapig?

24 Katrina 09.13.08 at 11:19 pm

What, that isn’t a kitten? Looks like a kitten to me, “*sheesh*”, well it may not meow, but baby things are pretty-much fungible from where I sit. Oh, a little oinklette and perhaps a little snufflette would sound so good right now…

25 Teughcats 09.13.08 at 11:25 pm

They have a herd of buffalo there also – quite startling when you first see them from the freeway! LOL at Go Baroo! The Wolverines certainly did not do well today.

26 Katrina 09.13.08 at 11:56 pm

Is there a “Scenic Overlook” or something” Are all of you peeps about to get rear-ended? God, you’re scaring me-how does anyone get past you on the highway? (snicker, snicker)
“Things with horns” can be cars, too!

27 Katrina 09.13.08 at 11:57 pm

AND now I have The Wa-waTusi song in my head, thanks…..oh, that’ll last all night!

Where is Hon Glad?

28 Katrina 09.14.08 at 12:19 am

While I’m at it- Slave to Three-how are you doing? Write back!

29 momof2kitties 09.14.08 at 12:27 am

No scenic overlook, it’s just that the meadows and grazing pens are by the highway side of the road and the buildings and such are farther in, away from the traffic noise, I suppose.

LOL @ “things with horns”. I haven’t been honked at-yet. Maybe everyone is slowing down at the same time trying to sneak a peek at the cute leetle piggies?

30 Katrina 09.14.08 at 12:30 am

One would hope, momof2kitties, one would hope. I know I’d be there hangin’ off the side rails….

31 amyj 09.14.08 at 12:40 am

Sweeeeeet!!!!

Does anyone else think piglet looks a little like Yoda?

My favorite pigs are guinea, but this one is awful cute. Want to hug!

32 Mags 09.14.08 at 12:42 am

SQUEEEE!!! I love baby piggies!!! And I LOVE Ann Arbor!!!! =)

33 west 09.14.08 at 12:42 am

34 berthaservant 09.14.08 at 12:56 am

I DEMAND to see pictures of the piggehs sleeping all lined up in a row.

:: pounding fist on table ::

Harrumph!

35 momof2kitties 09.14.08 at 1:12 am

Road Trip to A2!! Who wants to go to Ashley’s for a beer or three?

36 Jennie Mello 09.14.08 at 2:00 am

I would spell that hawnshes.

37 scooterpants 09.14.08 at 2:30 am

Ellen and the piglet both have the most nom-in-ish manicures eva. but my adoration is not lost on the supreme knobbly-knee axe-E-ons.

38 One Skunk Todd 09.14.08 at 2:30 am

39 Deborah Serrano 09.14.08 at 2:31 am

Tiny trotters!

40 darkshines 09.14.08 at 2:55 am

I don’t like his eye *cowers a bit*

41 Susanna 09.14.08 at 3:04 am

Cuuuute! But where’s the kittehs for Caturday? I’m very concerned.

42 warrior rabbit 09.14.08 at 3:13 am

We had a very large dose of kittehs yesterday, peeps — didn’t you ration?

43 Totalee Puppy 09.14.08 at 3:51 am

AAAAAAWWWWWW…Snorgle Snorgle Snorgle…I love the little foot in the shirt pocket…

44 DaytimeDeb 09.14.08 at 6:43 am

Feets so small they aren’t worth pickling.

Whoops, I meant tickling!

45 leslie 09.14.08 at 1:03 pm

1: I second Berthaservant’s harrumph.
2: I’m also astonished that no one has yet made the obligatory (?) pun, about your caption for “this
little Piggie’s” feet … the fact that you referred to the quality of the [wait for it ...] “Footage”!!!???

46 EllenM1 09.14.08 at 4:38 pm

Just to correct one of the comments – those aren’t my (Ellen’s) hands in the picture, they are owned by one of the very nice ladies that work at Domino’s who was kind enough to sort one of the piglets out of the bunch for us to pet.

I don’t have a picture of them all sleeping in a line, but I’ll try to get one next week. Meanwhile, there are a couple of his many siblings over on my blog, along with extremely hi-rez originals, here:

ANN ARBOR BABY!!! MY HOMETOWN!!! HOME OF THE CUTEST PIGGIES THIS SIDE OF THE MISSISSIPPI!!!

49 Totalee Puppy 09.16.08 at 1:24 am

TAKE ME TO THE PLANET OF THE PIGGIES!

50 Totalee Puppy 09.16.08 at 1:39 am

I am a benign visitor to the Planet of the Piggies.
I will bring beet borscht,
cabbage soup, potato latkes and other kosher goodies so that piggies
will get a severe case of grabbie-hands and slurpy-mouf and sniffy-snout…

51 ThreeCatNight 09.16.08 at 1:43 pm

Prosh piglet with adorable hoovage; so petite!
