Piggie Smalls - Pigs in Boots

E-MAIL THIS TO YOUR MOM: Piggie Smalls

It was nearly two years ago today that we brought you the story of Cinders, a tiny pig so afraid of mud that his owners fitted him with small, green pig boots.  Remember him?

Of course you do. 
Well thanks to The Graham Norton Show on BBC America — arguably the best talk show on TV, for reasons not unrelated to this post — we have been introduced to yet another piglet in boots.
This is Clive.


Clive is an obviously British miniature piglet, whose owners apparently took some cues from Cinders and fitted him with small red Wellington boots taken off of a Paddington Bear doll.  He’s also #1 on my poll for “Things I would like to simultaneously raise as my own/Eat for breakfast.”
So once again, thanks England, for seeing a small pair of boots on a bear doll and thinking “I wonder if those would fit my pet pig” and then actually putting them on your pet pig.  Your insanity is the BP oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico that is my bloodstream.
