Pig in Boots: The world's only porker who is afraid of mud

I am a bit fed up with the Lisbon Treaty and other depressing news so I needed something a bit lighter and as I know that all of you here really like pigs I thought that you might like this story.

For more information and photographs

Note: I learned a new word today guess what it is?


You can't get much happier than a pig in muck, or so we are told.

But when this little piggy arrived in the farmyard she showed a marked reluctance to get her trotters dirty.

While her six brothers and sisters messed around in the mire, she stayed on the edge shaking. It is thought she might have mysophobia - a fear of dirt.

Owners Debbie and Andrew Keeble were at a loss, until they remembered the four miniature wellies used as pen and pencil holders in their office. They slipped them on the piglet's feet - and into the mud she happily ploughed.

Now she runs over to Mr Keeble so he can put them on for her in the morning.

So cute! I love animal stories like this.

Is the word 'mysophobia' by any chance? ;)
