I’ve been overtaken with motherly love
I’ve never wanted kids and I rarely like them, as you can probably tell from my blogging. But this little feller just cries out “adopt me!” Just think - he could be my very own Arnold Ziffel … much smarter than most children, and I won’t have to worry about him stabbing a sibling over the tv. I’m already picturing the Christmas cards I could make with me as Mary and him as the Baby J!
Stowaway piglet survives toilet roll ordeal
LONDON (Reuters) - A piglet nicknamed Andrex is recovering after being found in the back of a truck full of toilet paper at a supermarket.
The animal, thought to be two or three weeks old, was discovered in a delivery at a Tesco store in Ilkeston, Derbyshire.
Staff wrapped the piglet in a duvet and called the RSPCA, a Tesco spokesman said Tuesday.
He was taken to an animal shelter in Radcliffe-on-Trent, outside Nottingham, suffering from cuts and bruises to his snout.
“We will now care for him until he is fit enough to be found a permanent home,” said Ella Herring, the shelter’s deputy manager.
Tesco said store workers were unsure of how the piglet came to be on the truck, but thought it may have been a prank.
“Staff are used to dealing with the unexpected, but little Andrex’s arrival was a shock,” a Tesco spokesman said. “They took it in their stride, wrapping him up straightaway in a duvet in the manager’s office and calling the RSPCA for advice and help.”
in theory quite sweet, but they grow up to be nasty and ferocious. Or maybe thats me.

Tesco is the British equivalent of WalMart.
If this had happened in the states, WalMart would have had a sale on bacon.
