Cinders the pig has a fear of mud - but wee wellies took care of that!This story is all over the blog-o-sphere, but the cuteness is too powerful to resist not adding it here. Apparently, when Cinders -short for Cinderella - was just a newborn, her farmers discovered her fear of mud (mysophobia - she stood shaking nervously at the side of the muck while her siblings frolicked in it ) and fitted her with the tiny plastic boots they were using as pencil holders - which originally came off of 2 stuffed Paddington Bear dolls. Does the cuteness ever stop? She now trots where ever she can on an English farm animal preserve in North Yorkshire. She's been spared from the meat grinder because of her quirk. No more bacon for me.

That's just too fucking awesome. What a little cutie. I just emailed H and told her I'd love a pot-bellied pig as a pet, she didn't umm, respond or nuttin'.
