A Story with Heart

A friend's Facebook post about finding a pile of pine needles near her barn that were blown into the shape of a heart, reminded me of something that happened about six years ago.

I've had dogs for most of my life, but when I was 28, I decided to get a kitten. Her name was Baby. When Baby turned 17, she developed mammary cancer, although she lived pretty much unaffected for over a year. One day she was having a health issue (unrelated to the cancer) and I decided to bring her to the vet for him to take a look at her. While we were there, Baby started having respiratory problems - she was really laboring to breathe. As most of us do, I have a very difficult time in making life and death decisions, and trusted my long-time vet to tell me when "it was time". Well, it was time.

Teacup pigs are so cute - where can I get one?

• If you cross your eyes, they'll stay that way!
• Swallowed gum takes seven years to digest.
• Dropped food will stay clean if you pick it up within five seconds.
• Touching a toad will give you warts.

All of the statements above are old-wives tales or urban legends - look them up - they just aren't true!  Well, similarly, the teacup pig just doesn't exist.

We have been loyal fans of the TV show "How I Met Your Mother" ever since it debuted, but found ourselves greatly disappointed at last evening's (March 1, 2010) episode. It portrayed a cute "little" Teacup Pig. Well, don't be fooled - it was just a BABY PIG!!! Admittedly, the tiny pig shown on the episode was adorable. 


*** Update - on July 20th, 2010, Jay Leno gave a piglet to Joey King on "The Tonight Show" ... although they didn't call it a "Teacup Pig", they did say "Tiny Pig".  It was also a very cute little pig, and Joey seemed truly thrilled to have it. The sad part is, however, that now millions of little girls (and boys) will also want one.  ***


So where can you get a tiny pig or a teacup pig?  The simple answer is ... you can't. Just like many urban legends, they don't exist!
