I’ve always had a thing for piglets, ever since I saw Charlotte’s Web, the cartoon. It’s been awhile. However, whenever I expressed my love of the small quadrupeds, I was greeted with words of deterrent, mostly to the effect of “they grow up to be huge not cute hogs”.
Then I met dandie. I don’t know what I was doing, or why I was doing it, but I came across the page these tiny creatures and was instantly smitten. I love them. I even emailed the site, wanting more adult-dandie pictures, wanting to know if my adulation was again only for the infant of the species. But no. I still love them, love them now, love them forever, or maybe never. For, my royal dandie dream will have to wait until I”m financially comfortable enough to justify a thousands dollar pet. A pig.
