Jack and the hot pack, originally uploaded by solipsistnation.

One of our tiny pigs has an abscess in his neck. We took him in and the vet drained a startling quantity of pus from it and gave us antibiotics to give him twice a day. She also prescribed a regimen of warm compresses on the afflicted area, so here he is, wrapped in a toasty warm washcloth, looking very put-upon.

What a cute piggy!

Holy god those things are adorable. That's almost unnatural.

Captain Jack here is basically the cutest piggy anyone has ever seen. Plus he's extra-tiny and has a little round nose and big wide eyes so he's even more neotonous than most pigs. He and Ianto are basically the cutest pigs ever in the history of pigs.

Oh god. Ianto and Captain Jack. That's fantastic.

We actually named them more after ask_captainjack and ask_aboutcoffee, but, yes. 8) Most people don't actually get the reference (no surprise there, I guess).

Captain Jack is the one who spends lots of time trying to mount our other pigs, usually while they're trying to do something else like eat hay, or drink water, or walk around, or sit there minding their own business...

That's really funny looking. It's like a pigerpillar.

Yeah, when I wrap them up in a towel or something for medication or hand-feeding or just general hugging it's the Pig Burrito...

Aw, poor piggie.

Cute though... :D
