The place for pets, and their owners

Pig fears mud, gets booties

June

Talk about clever accommodations. A couple from North Yorkshire in the United Kingdom had to put miniature Wellington boots on their baby pig after she was the only one of seven siblings who wouldn’t let her pig tootsies touch mud.

The Daily Mail reported the story of Cinders and her owners, Debbie and Andrew Keeble, who are former sausage farmers.

No worries for Cinders though. The Keebles now keep pigs solely as pets.
