Yesterday was a great day for animal stories! While I was getting ready for work, The Today Show had a story about Teacup Pigs! Whoa, really?!? Yes! These pigs have become quite popular in England. Full grown, they weigh around 65 pounds, and are between 12 and 16 inches tall.
The breeder that Ann and Meredith interviewed said they were very loving animals and highly intelligent. They even beat dogs in animal IQ tests!
Later at work, an email about a Stone Temple Pilots Concert somehow turned into a story about a Flying Squirrel. I’m not quite sure how that transition was made, but this cute little flying squirrel made it into a coworker’s house, and was then chased by their dog, right into a mousetrap! I didn’t have the heart to ask what happened to it in the mousetrap, but it seems to be doing fine now – spending its day in a huge fish tank eating walnuts and peanut butter.
ginger i am so sorry i gabbed so long in your cube today and didn't even ask about the fair. where is this flying squirrel and can we go see it at lunch? also, i need a pig. that is exactly why i don't eat pork and I am not kidding. i saw a story on discovery about how smart they are. well, that and charlotte's web.
