Stand aside or prepare to be snorfed! It’s feedin’ time!
Today is a good day to be snorfed by, The Telegraph!
What kind of peeg is that?? O_o
Dora, I couldn’t stand not knowing, so I popped on over to the Telegraph link:
Proud sow Miep with her new brood, the first litter of rare Meishan piglets to be born in the UK for 30 years at Whauphill Farm, Dumfries and Galloway. Meishan piglets are a popular breed in China because of their unusually large ears and wrinkly faces but have never been properly introduced in this country. Owner Linda McDonald-Brown, 51, brought the litter’s year old mum Miep and nine months old dad Wrinkles over from northern Holland with her husband Graham earlier this year. And two weeks ago Miep gave birth to the litter, which contains seven girls and one boy.
Hey, brinnann! Long time no see! How the heck are you?
*applaud’s brinnann’s Stellar Research Skillz*
Awethome!! Thanks for pigging that up…er….digging that up!! LOLZ
The earses are magnificent! Also, the wrinkularity is off the charts.
concur w/ both observations.
ooooo, wait till tracylee sees these ears!
Adorable pigs trotting their hearts out in this season’s hottest revival, “A Chorus Swine.”
Stands up and applauds wildly!
Joins in the wild applause.
*takes a pic for the NYT review*
Dis wittle piggy went shopping,
Dis wittle piggy stayed home (and read summer blockbusters)
Dis wittle piggy ate nomsies,
Dis wittle piggy had none (because he’s trying out this low-carb thing)
And this wittle piggy played Wii, Wii, Wii all night long.
*snicker* “Wii, Wii, Wii all night long.”
ROFL
agree!
The day after the first Wii came out (I was in college) some guys in some of my classes had cuts, bruises, a black eye, etc. The prof. asked what the heck happened. The answer: “Wii injuries.”
I was one of injured. My mommy says I’m special.
Wow, yes, I want to know what breed of pig that is.. fabulous! Don’t you think pigs are amazing creatures.. yet we treat them shockingly. I refuse to eat pork bacon ham salami sausage etc on principle because of the way we “farm” pigs. The most appalling images of torture come from secret filming by Animals Australia. I know this is a happy cheerful site and probably not the place for my wee rant but small acts of commitment and kindness matter in this world. And, yep I still miss a tasty BLT!
I’m with you!
me too
Ratty- so true! this is cute site, but sometimes we need to reflect on little on the fate of the creatures that we view. Thanks for the reminder
okay try living in Memphis, my entire life, and giving up pork 15 years ago. it’s the one meat i really liked the taste of. but seeing these photos makes me glad I quit eating them!
I don’t eat anything that has a face. I mean really- look at those faces!!
The Mom looks so proud.
Mom’s been makin’ bacon.
mom be SMILIN ‘ ‘:)
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand let’s try that agin :
Mommeh Miep is just bursting wif Porkitudely Pride…….:
Peegs, or clones? Just askin’…
EVERY day is a good day to be snorfed! Esp. by such snorfers as these!
This photo would work for Nosevember or Tocktober. Take your pick.
Can I baby sit ?
So, Miep and Wrinkles had 8 piglets altogether, 7 girls, one boy. I only see 7 piglets so maybe the one little boy decided he didn’t want to be in the photo with all those girls? Or he’s hidden somewhere.. Regardless, congratulations to Miep, Wrinkles, Linda and Graham! These guys are adorabuhls!
sorry y’all, but this only makes me think of…
“When he was a young warthog”
(“When I was a young warthogggggg!”)
“He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal
He could clear the savannah after ev’ry meal”
“I’m a sensitive soul though I seem thick-skinned
And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind”
“Hey,Pumba! Not in front of the kids!”
Eyore peegs! Squee!!!
oh wow it’s an Eyore and Piglet mash-up! ha ha thanks for the memory
If JIm Henson were alive, I’d cast them for the Dark Krystal sequel.
Are those pigs or “truncated” elephants??
YAY-ness!
Astute observation!
Also in the News tonight:
was not Miep a name of one individual who Did Good Things for the Frank family
(Diary of A. Frank), WWII….if my memory has anything left in it (?)
maybe Miep and that family were able to keep the Frank family in hiding for quite awhile later than would have normally been the case???
…..I THINK I recognize that name ….
ALSO also: howzabout maybe a “Matchingks” Tag???
Your memory be correct.
je te remercie, mem sahib
Operation NoseBeep commencing in…

Thanks, Fird. I’m okay now that the next kitten showed up. Having tea right now.
The piglet on the left looks like Eeyore!

Those are the ugliest cute things I’ve ever seen! Also the cutest ugly things, coincidentally enough.
Holy pig! It’s Habeas Corpus from all those Doc Savage books I read as a kid…
