Historic Hood River
Piglets

Notes
OK, apparently I don’t know my farm animals. Everyone says these are piglets, so I’ve updated the title.
Whatever the animal, very creative solution.

Boy that is creative and evidently works quite well.
I wonder if the one little guy is finished and is going to try and snitch from his sibling’s supply.
Australian shepherds?
James
Looks like piglets to me, not doglets……!
l.e.
Ohhhhh….that’s why they have funny ears and hair.
Arthur
Piglets? Really? I’m sure James knows what he is talking about, but I want to hear from a 4-H kid before I change the title.

Ya know, this "feel good" pic didn’t interest me much (no offense Arthur), but my first thought was piglets. So I’ve taken a second look, and I’m not a farmer, but zoom in on the right lil’ guy’s right rear foot. Doesn’t it look cloven?

Piglets have my vote on this one!
l.e.
It’s definitely pigs Arthur.
I am embarrassed to say, I used to be a farmer, but in all fairness, we didn’t raise pigs except for the one that chased me when I was little. I’m sure he wanted to eat me.
This is just how little piggies line up along the mother’s tummy. I don’t think puppies would be content to be all in a row like this. I thought the spots looked odd for a dog.
So….I think you learned something Arthur. Mis-label a photo and you will get all kinds of comments.

No farmer here, but pigs with a straight tail?
l.e.
Can anyone zero in close enough to see if they have snouts?

I thought from the beginning the first time I looked at them it is pigs. Look at the animal at the far right and his furthest foot. That looks like a pigs foot to me….
DeAnna
Definitely piglets!! I see snouts! and pot bellied pigs have straight tails! 🙂
Buzz
Can find no evidence of pot bellied pigs being introduced into the U.S. before the 1980’s

Bacon in the makin’.

Fooled me! I thought maybe there was a breed of pig that was named after it’s spots that looked similar to a dog. Save that one for April Fool’s Day!
Arthur
Now I know why my dog doesn’t bark and gets funny looks from all the other dogs at the park.
l.e.
Well Arthur….it was definitely a Fun Friday.
Buzz
Since Arthur give in, I will be forced to magnamiously concede that sometimes the majority are entitled to their foolish opinions. LOL.
