Today was Saturday – or as he liked to call it – “Adventure Day”, and Figaro could barely contain his excitement during the short train ride to their special place.
But when a fellow traveler asked where they were going, Figaro could no longer keep the news to himself, and he gleefully shouted, “We’re going to the most magical place on earth! There are carrots and celery and corn – all right next to each other, in one giant room named the Piggly Wiggly!”
Keep letting Figaro believe the store caters specifically to him, Claire C.
P.S. Snorf-hance:
I don’t think I realized how extreeeemely cute piggehs could be….
Now THAT is a pig…..SMILING?????
WT*******????????? I Nevair woulda thunk it…..
That’s one of CO’s best attributes; the “who’d'a thunk it” / “Baroo?” lessons,
to be learned here….
CUUUUUTE! If he worked at the Piggly Wiggly, you could call him “Ham-Hocks”. haha
Weee! Field trip!
I’d do more of the grocery shopping if we had Piggly Wiggly stores out here. The name is just so awesome.
Figaro? Not Pigaro?
I want to kiss his little pink snout!
Awwww! Figaro! The peenkness, the soft fuzzies, it burns….
*splodes*
What a ham! I’m seriously in luff. <3
I love the name Figaro, the cute pink little fuzz, and the look of extreme joy in photo 2. Great post, great pig!
that is some pig!
Is that a pig… in a blanket?
HELLO! Did anyone notice the teensy weensy wittle prosh pigsfeetsies in the 2nd pig erm… pic?! How cute’s that!
Piggie eyelashes!!!! *plink plink*
Oh dear, now I am going to have to become a vegetarian. Cannot eat bacon after this
The EYELASHES! The built-in ACCORDION PLEAT behind the nose for rapid snorfling action! The TROTTERS! all in polite posishe! I am in oink heaven.
(“built-in ACCORDION PLEAT behind the nose….”?????)
“Well, I NEV-ah!!!”
Squeeeeeee(l)!
Marthava, exactly my thoughts! I didn’t think a pig could be so cute! What a pretty little porker!
I get kind of turned off bacon, ham, sausages, in the movie Babe when Babe sees his mother going to the truck, and says, “Bye, Mom!”
The snorf-hance reveals long luxurious lashes. Suck on that, Brooke Shields!
Second pic of laughing peeg has caused me to be DED.
The second hovertext still has me giggling.
Bebbeh piggehs are super cute, but when they grow up–not so much. They fall in the category of animal I feel guilty about eating because they are super-smart, but do anyway because they are also super tasty.
I wonder if I can use the word “super” one more time in this comment. Hey, look! I just did!
Next stop: the Piggy Bank Savings and Loin.
LOL @Tori
Teh polite posishe paws/hooves(?) def deserve an enhance…. Those things are insane!
Laughing pig = D’awwwww. ^_^
@ 260Oakley: Are you related to Einstein because you’re a freakin’ genius.
@tracylee, I see what you did there. lol. my roommate used to quote that every time we bought OJ with “some pulp” (as opposed to lots of pulp or no pulp)… thats Sooome pulp!
oh i love piglets. this one is so happy!
Feeeeeeeeeeee-garo, Figaro Figaro FigarOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
The gorgeous Sir Thomas Allen as Figaro.
I want to pet that fuzzy little head.
TEH FRONT FEETS!!! >keels over<
The eensie-weensie piglet tuskettes in the 2nd photo sucked out my last bref and stole my soul.
It’s over. I’m now a vapor.
@Theresa
Thanks. I followed that link and now I want to run through the snow yelling “Feeeeeeeeeeee-garo!” I guess if one must have an earworm, it might as well be a classy one.
@TrixandSam
I’m not related to Einstein, but I do sport a similar hairdo some mornings.
And this little piggy went to market…
@260Oakley, Ehi, Figaro! Son qua.
Figaro qua, Figaro là,
Figaro su, Figaro giù!
My favorite “opera” ever is “The Abduction of Figaro,” by P.D.Q. Bach. Heh.
“what a ham” <— lol
he's so fuuuuzzzyy!!
Saffron – that is one of my favorite cartoons of all times! Always a good laugh, even after the terrible PC purging of the short.
HAHA! I remember the Piggly Wiggly from when I was little in NC. They had a guy dressed up as the pig-man-mascot thingy in the parking lot and my brother, who was probably 4 or 5 at the time, was so scared the climbed under a car to get away from it! XD That brings back good memories…
Need teeny feetsies enhance!
@ AuntieMame – I love P. D. Q. Bach too !
And………….*beep*
That’ll do, pig. That’ll do.
Wow he looks absolutely DELICIOUS!
re: pic #2:
I didn’t know piggies could steeple their trotters like the Simpsons’ Mr. Burns . . . as if they’re trying to take over . . . the world . . .
Uh oh! Or is that — OINKcellent?
Well, that’s it. I’m gonna faint now from the cuteness.
*falls to floor in a heap
Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeg!
ADORABLE!! This is the happiest, delicately-est placed feetsies, peegie in the world!
awww that’s one cute pig
D by the way, thanks for commenting on my blog! I really appreciate it : )
Very adorable peeglet! Anyone remember “Nugent” from the TV series All Creatures Great and Small?
That’ll do pig, that’ll do. (I’m sure I’m late to class on that line but had to add!) Now I want a pig to go with my Brussels Griffon! They’d be bestie beasties!
Now little piggie,can I interest you in some masscara for the eyelashes? The Albino look isn’t really in this season.
No way, is that pig smiling??? i never woulda thought!!!!
:D:D:D:D:)>:):):P:P:P:P:P
his teeth are soo white too!
bacon isn’t cute, it’s tasty
How about a piggy-smile-enhance! What a cutie!!!!!!!
my last post got removed?? just because i said go vegan and that pigs are 6 months when they make the bacon? geeze, cant handle the truth huh?
Just too cute, I keep coming back to the smiling picture, such a total “yay!”.
If I could just have that as my desktop wallpaper, I could insta-cheer myself by just staring at it for a couple of minutes. /wistful sigh.
That is some pig.
Good heavens. PDQ Bach. The only concert where I saw the conductor stop, turn around, and make the composer pull out a $20 to continue. Also the most fun classical concert I’ve even to.
i’d rather kiss this piggie on the snout than eat bacon any day!
What a sweet little peegles. I can’t eat pigs anymore! They’re just too adorable…thanks a lot, cute overload.
hey, ed or whomever submitted these pics, what’s the backstory behind these pictures? that little “dude”, as you yanks say, seems to be so happy in his (her?) blankie that we need to know… ok, i need to know. well, i don’t really _need_ to know, i’m just curious.
and… Figaro? really?
[Hey, don't look at me, I just roll with it. - Ed.]
you know you make me wanna. SNOUT kick my hooves out and SNOUT throw my ears back and SNOUT!
[The Bird IS the word. Clearly.
- Ed.]
Oh my god, that middle picture literally made me laugh out loud! Want!
bird:
!!!!
Personally, I was blown away by the pink piggy lips in picture #2. How CUTE!!!!
Hey WHAT is that UGLY thing right there! I object STRENUOUSLY to such HUMAN BEANS being shown on this site, I come here for CUTE and wow, she is kind of ok, perhaps I will look at the cute piggy for a little while..
..sorry, don’t mind me, just nuffing..
He is the cutest thing ever. except for the Fennec Fox…. ! And maybe my hamster Lobster when he’s eating blueberries.
So sweet, I would first get a warm, wet washcloth and clean his eye boogies. Then, I would give him so many keeses, and love him and squeeze him and pet him and hold him and snorgle him, forever!
Ohmygosh, he’s so CLEAN. Tiny super-clean piglets are enchanting. Look at his little TROTTERS. You could eat your dinner off ‘em.
It looks like his owner took him to buy some tiny piglet blue jeans, too!
Those little pink hooves in the second pic are killing me.
charlotte-my egg sack needs salutations
minipig-my sack shall spred upon yours, salutations are upon your kin my dear.
Sighned,
Mini Pig.
Yeah, that does it for me and bacon.
