Not Just Another Pretty Face

Each Sunday, I'll take a break from the material aspects of this blog and spend a little time looking at the finer points of pigdom.  Most people probably appreciate the ham and bacon side of pigs; little do they know they have a deeper side as well.  

We'll start the week with a peek into the favorite quotes of thoughtful pigs and also learn a pig factoid (pigoid?) in a feature called Pigipedia.






PIGIPEDIA 
The smallest breed of pig is the Pygmy Hog, which lives in the Himalayan foothills of India.  Full-grown, they can weigh as little as thirteen pounds, are around twenty-three inches long, and have a one-inch tail.  This is about the size and weight of a watermelon, if a watermelon had a tail.  They are one of the most endangered species of mammals, with only about 100 remaining.
