Mini Moos

Knox News is reportin' that the Memphis Zoo is featuring some mini cow action.

The two cows "Cloudy" and "Darwinia", are 25 and 36 inches at the shoulders respectively. They were bred from heritage breeds that date back to the 16th century, when farms and homesteads were smaller.

This article wasn't enough to satisfy my new miniature moo quest. My mission led me to the mini cattle website (I am not making this up) where there is some proshness goin' on. Check out:

Love these names... Here's "Britches"

"Betseh"...

"Primrose"!

And bringing up the rear... "Huckleberry"!

And one more mini moo pic to wrap up the post:

Great article suggestion NTMTOM ;)

"Look, how many times do I have to tell you people?  I don't care how many tin cans you throw in, we're very happy with our current alfalfa supplier!  Now stop calling me!!"

Someone wanted to talk to the goat, submitted by Ross O.  Ross, maybe it's time to join the national "do not bleat" registry.

Kingsford is on fire!

Meet "Kingsford" the piggle. He is the most anerable house-pig you've ever seen. Squealing included:

Great find, NTMTOM. Via LA Times.

Whatever Mom

I'm going to play Rock Band.

Later. [trots off]

Sender-Inner Rebecca R says "This is  "Delphie" and her baby "Guthlac".  He's only a week old, but it looks like they've already entered that difficult stage..."

Oh you knew I was gonna do this.

Stand back. It's for your own good.

Runt piggle "Chester" LOVED burying himself in heaps of laundry.  Photos by the fabulous Kristine B.

The Year In Cute: Smile, Everybody!

With 2008 being one of the goofier years on record, we're all happy to see it go.  But this bunch just seems a little bit, I dunno ... too happy.

We're happy for sender-inners like Elizabeth F., Britta F. and YankeeBird.

NUBULE SPOTTING!

Literally.

A "nubule" AND "spotting."

Together.

NUB-HANCE! [Zooming in sound]

Two piglets, extra wrinkles, extra ears, comin' right up

The Los Angeles Times is reportin' these Wrinklestilskins (Actually Chinese Meishan pigs) are all the rage at Berlin's "Tierpark". Apparently, these chubbular wonders are famous for their wrinkles (duh) and loooong ears.

Get a load of Mom pig, People!
