piggies

"Everywhere there's lots of piggies
Living piggy lives
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives.......

I think we will leave the quotation there (if you know the song, you'll know why!)

Thanks to Sue Barnicoat @suebarni for reminding me about the Beatles song "Piggies" from the White Album for this week's challenge.

This is Myrtle, and yes, you can see her eating her dinner - terrible table manners these pigs have!

Great shot.

Now thats what to do with a Beatles song. Love it!

aww, how nice to 'See her standing there'. 'To know her is to love her,' shes gorgeous, I wanna give her a hug. Do you 'Shout' 'Come and get it' when you serve her food? I bet shes 'Glad all over' to see it!
I think I'll stop there, thats enough Beatle-ing!

@suebarni You know your Beatles Sue!

Didn't you teach her to close her mouth when she chews?
She really is just too cute.

That is one Beatle song I don't believe I have ever heard. I couldn't help noticing how clean this little piggy is. I know most people think pigs love to wallow in the mug. But I heard one person say that that isn't true. He said that if there is a choice, pigs would prefer to be clean, but that if they are kept in pastures or pens where there is little grass they will, of course, end up getting mud on them.

They do like to wallow in the mud when it is hot Skip because it helps them stay cool, but the nature of their hair and skin means that the mud just flakes off them when they are dry so they never look particularly dirty. They are quite clean animals tho and they always do their 'business' in the same corner of their pen and never in their house.
