I moved home from school, and on the day when I had no internet access, my piggies got to be Pet of the Day! I just found this out last night when I looked in the archives, and Doom was very indignant that I hadn't checked the website every single day (even while I was on the road) to see whether he was being especially honored! He's a silly fussy boy.

I haven't given them a bath since that one time when I took the pictures...they had skin problems and I thought bathing them would help their problems. Since they're shorthaired pigs, I don't have to bathe them very often. (A long haired piggy I used to have, Caesar, needed a bathe every month or so, and he would always shriek like he was being grievously injured.)

Iggy Pop is a singer, the "godfather of punk". I don't know why, but my piggies hate his music. They also hate Tom Petty's music, and the band Tin Machine...sometimes I have to wonder about their taste in music.

They're very happy that people like their feet. Doom is especially proud of his, because one of his hind feet is half black and half pink. He insists that that makes him the Chosen Pig, whom we should all bow down to. Flake's tan stripe extends all the way down his legs, so his front feet are half brown and half pink.

Doom even has his own livejournal where I transcribe his rants about how bad his brother is and how mean I am and how evil hamsters are. Everything there should, of course, be taken with a grain of salt.
