Pass me my pig-sized snorkle

Yeah, the water's great... visibility is like 50 feet, come on in.

Sender-Inner Leigh H. says Boston.com asked readers to submit "warm weather" photos. Exxxxxcellent!

Mmm... bacon flavored water.: aloria; | Mar 21, 2008 at 08:35 AM

Hee! So cute. Yeah, I'm in Boston and Spring started yesterday, but it definitely doesn't feel like it! People sent in their warm weather photos so we could at least look at something to make us feel less cold.: Eastie; | Mar 21, 2008 at 08:36 AM

It's snizzling in Chicago. Can anybody pass some spring this way?: katerpie; | Mar 21, 2008 at 08:41 AM

YOu can barely see the pig because of the shade and the snout covers the mouth; And yet that smile is clear as day. I wanna scatch behind the ears.: Kar; | Mar 21, 2008 at 09:15 AM

"Excuse me, sir; have you any Grey Poupon?": martha in mobile; | Mar 21, 2008 at 09:36 AM

Martha in Mobile: LOL!!!!!!!: ButtaRumCake; | Mar 21, 2008 at 09:40 AM

I would LOVE to jump in there with that piggles. But even here in North Florida, it's still a little too chilly to go swimming.: Vicki; | Mar 21, 2008 at 09:43 AM

Sorry, son, we ain't got no gray poopin', but we got some barby-Q sauce down in the galley...: Theo; | Mar 21, 2008 at 10:00 AM

I never understood how pigs can swim with those hoofed foots? I remember being mystified by the swimming pig at Aquarina Springs as a child.: Bocebus; | Mar 21, 2008 at 10:06 AM

I bet underneath that fur, he's all soaked and wrinkly :) Thats one clean piggy :D: Annica; | Mar 21, 2008 at 10:16 AM

Theo!!! Shame on you! Piggies run SCREAMING from BBQ sauce!!!: Sandra; | Mar 21, 2008 at 10:26 AM

i can't tell where this photo was taken...in a pool or in natural water. it's soooo clear and beautiful. SQUEAL!!!: jodie; | Mar 21, 2008 at 10:34 AM

Wups, was that out loud? My goodness.: Theo; | Mar 21, 2008 at 10:35 AM

i think a yellow 1950's bathing cap with plastic flowers all over it is in order. that, and a margharita! toute suite!!!: jen; | Mar 21, 2008 at 10:44 AM

A google search revealed the story, apparently there is a family of pigs in the Bahamas that swim http://www.anotherroad.com/03-21StanielsCayPig.jpg: scoobie; | Mar 21, 2008 at 11:07 AM

SQUEEEEEEEEEEE....eal.: DKN; | Mar 21, 2008 at 11:30 AM

Amazed by pigs swimming? I still don't understand how elaphants swim.: Kar; | Mar 21, 2008 at 11:41 AM

This makes me wish it were summer so much more than I already was! First day of spring yesterday and today there's a winter storm warning and they're cancelling schools left and right!: Anasztaizia; | Mar 21, 2008 at 11:59 AM

"Your inviting me to Luau, thats wonderful. Help me into the boat and lets start the par-tay. You know my Brother-in-law said to avoid these kinds of things but hes always been a shut-in. I say let the good times roll! Ah and a grass skirt, we couldn't Luau without that...but its awful big. Seems to cover my entire body. Lot of wood around here too...": Lone; | Mar 21, 2008 at 12:04 PM

Do pigs swim?: tank; | Mar 21, 2008 at 12:06 PM

Yes, pigs can swim quite well.: secretlyindian; | Mar 21, 2008 at 12:27 PM

Awesome.: tank; | Mar 21, 2008 at 12:38 PM

DO you or do you not allow a leetle peeggie to climb into your boat? I say Yes! Yes! Yes! [We're gonna need a pigger boat... - Ed.]: Theresa; | Mar 21, 2008 at 12:43 PM

...pigger boat.... that was horrible: Anasztaizia; | Mar 21, 2008 at 12:50 PM

To follow up on Scoobie's link, check out this site: http://www.nbhtravel.com/StanielCay/stanielcay.htm (scroll down for the pig section) This pic is my fave - it looks like a dog park in an alternate universe: http://www.nbhtravel.com/StanielCay/254_5422.jpg (note the kitties in the background): megusmaximus; | Mar 21, 2008 at 01:03 PM

A family of swimming piggies... now I've seen everything! *changes honeymoon plans to the Bahamas*: Courtney; | Mar 21, 2008 at 01:10 PM

I would like to "officially" request moar pictures of swimming piggies please.: tank; | Mar 21, 2008 at 01:15 PM

If you look closely, you can see piggy eyelashes. OMG!!!: Way Cool Groovy Chick; | Mar 21, 2008 at 01:20 PM

Spring!!!!! COME ON OVER!: M.; | Mar 21, 2008 at 03:25 PM

I think a pig-sized snorkel is called a porkel. Pretty sure.: wendydejong; | Mar 21, 2008 at 03:42 PM

Cue Muppet announcers voice: And now we bring you another episode of, "Piiiigggsss innn poooolllll.....": Dale; | Mar 21, 2008 at 04:22 PM

Holy Crap that's cool! And yeah.. if you follow those links, there's a picture of the beautiful beach getting fed bread..and kitties in the background. It's surreal! I love it.: Golden; | Mar 21, 2008 at 04:31 PM

Ok.. the beach isn't getting the bread.. the pigs are .. man ..: Golden; | Mar 21, 2008 at 04:32 PM

OK, so am I the only person who thought at first that this was a picture of a duck having sex with some sort of pig-like swim toy? See, I thought the pig's left ear was a profile of a duck's head and bill, and the other ear was the duck's tail, and the pig's head above the shadow was the duck's body, and then below the shadow was whatever swim toy the duck was penetrating. To my credit, I was appalled. "This isn't cute," I thought to myself. And that quickly changed to, "What the hell?!" at the captioned suggestion to join in. (!) I knew something was wrong, so I kept staring, and then there was the pig, plain as day. It was like that skull vs. girl in the mirror picture - I saw one thing so clearly, I couldn't see the other. Fine. I'm nuts. I know.: BiscuitTin; | Mar 21, 2008 at 05:35 PM

What swim stroke did he use - the hog paddle?: Aubrey; | Mar 21, 2008 at 06:18 PM

he's all "is it time for lunch? i want a baloney sandwich! with cheese! no? okay. i'm going to swim some more. call me when it's lunch. byeeee!": blair; | Mar 21, 2008 at 08:30 PM

dear biscuittin you're not nuts you're just another l4m3e on teh internets HAND.: blair; | Mar 21, 2008 at 08:32 PM

"Hello, lads, which way to the English Channel?": SoCalSis; | Mar 21, 2008 at 09:06 PM

oh, i'll pass you a pig-sized snorgle, all right!: cath; | Mar 22, 2008 at 01:53 AM

...interspecies snorkeling?: cath; | Mar 22, 2008 at 01:53 AM

hello susser What a cute pig love mamma: susser; | Mar 22, 2008 at 02:33 AM

I have an art print called "Diving Pig," so when I saw this post I immediately thought, "Here's what happens after the dive!" http://www.globalgallery.com/enlarge/019-25790/: Jaye; | Mar 22, 2008 at 05:20 AM

@SoCalSis: LOL!! I was thinking of the recurring bit in the Beatles movie "Help" where a guy surfaces, asking "White Cliffs of Dover"?: Gail; | Mar 22, 2008 at 05:40 AM

Well I'll be hogswoggled.: Hon Glad; | Mar 22, 2008 at 05:59 AM

Dear Biscuittin, Maybe you just need glasses. I was having similar issues with signs not making sense or thinking they said off the wall things. At first I thought "have I been dyslexic all this time and just now am noticing it?" Then I got my eyes checked. Peace.: onionsnotbunyons; | Mar 22, 2008 at 06:15 AM

Yeeeeeahhh, no matter how much I squint or drink, I'm still not seeing what Biscuittin saw. That pig is the happiest porker on the planet, and a ham (ba-dum!) to boot. Pigs are really quite intelligent, and this little dude looks like he knows exactly what sort of reaction he's getting.: Manda; | Mar 22, 2008 at 08:30 AM

okay. so, ummm, not to be a nuffer or anything...but i heard that if piggies get wet they will definitely DIE- you should never, never bathe them or let them get wet in any way. and i sure hope that isn't chlorinated water he's swimmin' in, 'cause that'll blind him for sure. hope they put him in the dryer right away!: temperance; | Mar 22, 2008 at 08:52 AM

As I remember, mud tends to be pretty high in water content but I could be wrong. And those shoreline pigs linked above seems to be fairly well off despite their regular dippings.: Lone; | Mar 22, 2008 at 08:56 AM

Wow, the nuffers are really streeeeetching themselves to find the negative...surely you jest, pigs love to get wet!: Niki; | Mar 22, 2008 at 09:29 AM

LOL @ temperance peeple, peeple, peeeeeple... you did notice temp's suggestion that piggies be put in the dryer after swimming, right? i'm pretty sure that post is "nuff in cheek," and she's just desperate for pudding.: cath; | Mar 22, 2008 at 09:57 AM

More cats.: Blue Colossus; | Mar 22, 2008 at 10:24 AM

Now that's what I call one afloat shoat! :D: Wbirdie; | Mar 22, 2008 at 05:32 PM

Curled hoofs and floppy ears~: Raemie L.; | Mar 24, 2008 at 12:49 AM

Heh. The shadow over his face makes it look like he's wearing swim goggles. He's a competitive porkeler!: Babs; | Mar 24, 2008 at 08:43 AM
