For those of you who follow me on Instagram and Facebook, you already know about how I met a pig. You are probably all like, “Omgah, CLARE, get over the stupid pig you randomly saw on the street. No one cares anymore.“
Well, I don’t be carin’ bout yo opinion, foo’! I met a pig and that news must be blogged!
So here is how it happened: I was walking down the fine, gold paved streets of Harlem when my fiance goes, “Oh, there’s a pig.”
He said it in such a casual, distant manner, too — like he was saying, “That’s my jacket.” or “Let’s pick up some chicken at the store.”
I, of course, made a big spectacle of the whole thing. I mean LOOK — A PIG! On the STREET! Being walked with a LEASH! Like a dog that can also be made into bacon! A M A Z I N G ! !
The pig was a jolly, old, soul that tore alarmingly large hunks of grass from the tree beds and ate said grass like I was completely boring her with my presence.
She loved me. I knew it. So I proceeded to take about fifteen pictures of her.
Her owner, a crazy (seriously) old lady I hadn’t really noticed before she started speaking (so rude of me), was all like, “Do you want to feed her?”
Ummmmm YES!
So I fed the pig!! I fed her these little pellets of something. And then I petted the pig and her hair was like nasty wire. I didn’t really like petting the pig to be perfectly honest. Then, I put on my best newsboy hat and said, “That’ll do pig, that’ll do.“.
Actually, I didn’t do that last bit with the newsboy hat.
So that was my weekend!
How was your weekend???
Fun!!!
Ah!! I love pigs. My dad took me to a farm to purchase one when I was 14. This pig named Oprah (yes, it’s totally messed up of the farm people to name her that) had a liter that they were going to sell to freaks like me who wanted a pig in their home. They were sooooo cute. In the end I decided not to get one though. They’re actually smarter than dogs, but I didn’t think my mom would like the idea of something with hooves running through the house. Have you seen teacup pigs? They’re just too cute to be true-but they totally are!
I laughed about 4 separate times reading this haha!
Cutest pig ever!!! I want one…sort of. But not if its hair feels icky.
OMG: A PIG. I can’t believe you randomly saw a pig on the street. So random, yet so awesome.
I love pigs and this one is super cute!! Hope you been well hun xx
HAHA. That’ll do pig, that’ll do. Thanks for taking me down childhood lane, which wasn’t really all that long ago
How cute! I saw a little miniature pig getting walked on a leash.. IN A PARK. WITH DOGS. It was amazing, I completely understand
