Well, this is definitely the most darling piglet we've seen since runty Wilbur Arable. Just look at his wittle face popping out of that ridiculous floatie! Sure, it must bruise the ego to be forced out of one's pen by rampaging, gluttonous siblings (though you can't blame pigs for gluttony; that's just how they roll), but it sure looks like Farmer Johnson's makeshift spa treatment soothed this little piggy's soul. Terrific! Radiant! Some pig!
We think this little piggy would probably feel right at home off the coast of Big Major Spot.

When Teri Schrock first decided to raise miniature horses, she had no idea where it would lead. Now, almost 20 years later, the land around her Michigan home has become a farm filled with unique and exotic miniature animals.
Schrocks' Mini Blessings farm began in 1998, when Schrock's daughter was leaving for college. In addition to the miniature horses, the farm now houses miniature donkeys and zebu, muntjac (miniature) deer, two alpacas, a lop-eared rabbit, a wallaby, fainting goats, a zeedonk (a cross between a zebra and a donkey), miniature babydoll sheep, turkeys, a highlander (a cow with long red hair), numerous barn cats, and two dogs.
Though it's difficult to pick a favorite, Schrock is partial to the miniature horse mare named R-Cee, the female munjac deer, and of course, her dogs. Visitors, however, have another favorite.

Is there anything cuter than a teeny, tiny muntjac deer?

Teri's grandson makes sure the miniature horses know where the food is. All kids who visit the farm get a lesson in how to care for, feed, and clean up after the animals.

The Highlander, which is a long-haired red cow, gets a little love from one of the resident dogs.

"Have food, will travel," says this wallaby.

Teri cuddles one of the barn cats in one arm while snuggling a baby miniature horse in the other. Tough job, but somebody's gotta do it.

The zebu might be too shy to strike a pose for the camera, but he doesn't mind being the center of attention when it's time to eat!

Don't call him a pony! This baby miniature horse already looks ready to run!
