Friday Cuteness
Since it is Friday the 13th, I thought I would share a little cuteness with you!
My fiance, Mike, passed this story along to me.
Turns out that animals have phobias too! There is a little pig named Cinders in the UK who has a fear of mud or mysophobia! As you can imagine, in a pig's life, this fear makes it difficult to get along!
The family that owns Cinders found a very cute solution to her fear. They used little bitty "wellies" or galoshes from a keychain to put on her feet. She now happily walks through the mud with her little boots on. Her owners own a sausage farm, however, Cinders will be spared! She is going to be a mascot for the family's campaign - Farm Crisis Network, which helps struggling farmers.
Every time I see this picture of Cinders, it makes me smile! (It's interesting for me to know that animals also have irrational fears - to fit right in with my own fear of thunder or astrapophobia!)
That is really cute. How tiny is that pig? Boots from a keychain? I wonder why on earth it was scared of mud to begin with.
