Ed


Ed is a great little pig. He is a trainee in the pig brigade, who looks up to his little bigger brothers Blitzen and Donner. Ed has a zest for life and loves candy canes and of all things, peanut butter bon bons. He really likes coins and bills and even if the coins are chocolate, he doesn't mind. So long as they're wrapped and kept cool. HA!

Blitzen


Blitzen has a lot of energy. His energy is best spent counting coins as you drop them in. Just like his brothers Donner and Ed, he doesn't fly unless propelled. But I wouldn't recommend that, most especially on a fully belly. He wanted to be a Christmas present, but it didn't work out. But it worked out for the best because I know there is someone on Etsy who will love and take care of Blitzen.

BLITZEN has been given as a gift for a new little baby boy!! YAY!!

Donner


Donner, Blitzen and Ed love Christmas. They really wanted to be Christmas presents, but it just didn't work out that way. But it's OK because I told all three of them that they would find a very happy home with some wonderful person on Etsy. They'd just have to be patient. Unlike the reindeer, this Donner doesn't fly unless propelled. Which I wouldn't recommend. Donner loves big fat dollar coins and likes the occasional paper bill for well, you know, fiber. Of course each cork is removable so you don't need to break this pig to get at his treasures. Just pop out his nose and give him a good shake.

2 pigs for Cottontail


These two pigs were made custom for Cottontail, who believe you me, was as patient as a saint!  It took me WAY too long to complete her order but she was very congenial about it, and I DO appreciate it.  These two piggies are a bit forlorn for right now because I didn't want to take the privilege to name them. I thought I'd leave that to her girls.   But they both have very sweet demeanors.  The purple piggy loves anything pirate and the "port wine" piggy, well, need I say more? :)  The girl's got good taste!!  :)  Enjoy these piggies Kat!

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.
