Porcina 7

The end of all things...

It's only fitting, I suppose, that an imitation pig should turn into imitation sausage and not-bacon.

She was very, very tasty. Vale Porcina!

Rooting around.

I wanted to do a portrait of Porcina rolling around in the mud - after all, the phrase 'Happy as a pig in mud' has to come from somewhere. Sadly, she flatly refused. Those dainty hooves weren't getting covered in muck, and the sparkling coat was not getting dulled by dirt.

The best compromise we managed to come to was this. It isn't even an oak tree - no acorn fed jamon for the porcine princess, oh no. Honestly, pigs these days are so far distanced from their roots. I think she looks cute. She just complained about leaf litter, and insisted on a pedicure.

Best Friends 4 Eva.

I thought Porcina was one of a kind, to be honest; after all, how much of a market could there be for glam piggy moneyboxes? t seems I was wrong - hiding on the bottom of a dusty shelf was this fine piggy princess, complete with tiara. The staff kindly allowed me to take some portraits of the new best friends - they'd never seen anyone like Porcina, either!

Next step is obviously friendship bracelets and sleepovers.

Poison pig pen?

The pen is mightier than the sword... even when it's a pig pen.

Porcina 3

Unfortunate accident.

Porcina, poor thing, has a disability, which is how she ended up living with us. She's... well, she has no plug. Which can lead to, um, little accidents when she's out in public. It's really very embarrassing for the poor thing.

Soupa pig!

Seems I can't even have a bowl of soup without some piggy getting her nose in the trough.
