Calvin

Calvin is very shiney, that's why we called him Calvin (which means "Bald" in Latin).  Calvin too, came with Fillmore and Peanut from North Carolina.  He's the business man of the group.  Should we say, the little piggy who built his house out of Bricks.  

UPDATE!  Calvin has been adopted by my friend Sharon!  He was so SO excited when I put him in the car he could barely contain himself.  But he did, and now he's home with Sharon!  For a while anyway, he's going to be another Christmas present!


Peanut


Peanut is the littlest of this band of piggies.  He is pretty sweet.  He came here with Fillmore from North Carolina and settled right in amongst his new friends.  He loves pumpkins, as you can see.  We can't seem to keep him from the pie pumpkins...ya suppose he is trying to tell me something?

UPDATE!  Peanut was adopted and is headed to California!  He's very excited to be going there.  He squeeled with joy when I told him!

Fillmore


Fillmore is a bit of a hippie.  His coloring is due to the help of a two year old which he totally supported.  He said that a kids creativity shouldn't be squelched and so we ended up with all kinds of colors.  Which turned out to be very cool.  Fillmore grew up in North Carolina and traveled far to Iowa.  He made his home here for a while but is ready to move on.  That said, Fillmore is really ready to settle down with a nice family. 

UPDATE!  Fillmore was adopted by a nice family in Illinois!  He's a Christmas present, which makes him very happy.


Halloween - Batty Little Piggy


Batty Little Piggy is a one of a kind piggy.  He's got little batty ears and a crazy halloween smile.  All jagged and rough and even smeary is some spots.  He will not be duplicated.  
Batty is a little funny because he was bitten by a bat when he was just a piglet.  On the vine.  Apparently bats really like gourds!  So batty is the result.  But his mommy and daddy still loved him very much and it didn't take long to find him a new home in Texas with Kat!  Yep, she adopted Claire too! 

I'm sure Batty will be hanging around more of the year than just Halloween.  He's a real charmer!  He's a great piggy to hide all of your halloween candy in!

UPDATE!  Batty little piggy was purchased by Kat at Cottontail !  He helped hand out candy and keep the atmostphere light with his silly grin.  Thanks Kat!  Batty makes his new home with Clara in Texas.
