National Pig Day!

TODAY IS *MY* DAY!

Normally, I would let me friend Journalist Rocky the Squirrel tell you about important and interesting holidays.  But today, well today is *my* day.

I bet you didn’t know that I have an entire holiday to myself? Well – I do!! Today is National Pig Day. I wait all year for my holiday. This is my third one and the party is on!

But you’re probably asking yourself what is national pig day?

“National Pig Day

National Pig Day is an event held annually on March 1 in the United States to celebrate the pig. The holiday celebration was started in 1972 by sisters Ellen Stanley, a teacher in Lubbock, Texas, and Mary Lynne Rave of Beaufort, North Carolina.

According to Rave, the purpose of National Pig Day is “to accord the pig its rightful, though generally unrecognized, place as one of man’s most intellectual and domesticated animals.”

Since today is my day, I get to do what I want… within limitations. I get my favorite foods. I get the extra loving and snuggles. I get a piggy massage. I get my hooves done. Whatever I want – it’s all about pleasing this piggy. To all my fellow pig friends – cash in on this our holiday – enjoy it to the fullest!!

Wish Me Luck – More Interviews

Okay – I’m going to have my extra cute on for Sunday.  Just like in this picture, I can’t be nice too.  Just look closer, I let Hemi sleep on top of me.

Mom says I have to bring out all of the stops for hopefully what will be the last interviews Sunday.  There are two scheduled.  Please wish me luck and send every possible good vibe my way.  I gotta find someone.

Mom told me to list the points I wanted in a pig sitter so I thought I’d give a shot.

• Nice personality.
• I would prefer a woman but the right man would do.
• Loves pigs.  This is a must.
• Will love on me.  This means cuddles on the sofa, keeping me warm and rubbing my belly and back.
• Knows how to tell a bedtime story.  What?  This is highly important to my list since mommy does it every night.  And might I add, don’t forget my strawberry on my pillow.
• Knows how to cook an awesome spinach omelet… or pancake.  This is what I get on the weekends.  Salads are easy enough to throw together and who can mess up my Cheerios for breakfast?  OOOHH, and don’t forget one that knows how to pop popcorn the old fashioned way – the way that was meant to be on the stove without burning it.  eeww – no one wants burned popcorn.
• Someone that kind of keeps to the television schedule that dad has accustomed me to during the week.  Not a high demand because I can always go to my room and use my own television but that cuts out on some snuggle time.

 

These aren’t ‘high’ demands.  I mean, mom/dad are paying them to take care of and be my beck and call sitter, right?  So basically you’re telling them it’s all about this domesticated down to earth highly educated oinker, right?  Let’s just hope they look at the situation the same way as me – snorts.

I’ll keep you posted.  Keep your fingers, paws and hooves crossed for me.
