More of my “terrifying” stuff
Vintage Thingie Thursday is here again and so are my fun collection of ceramic animals. I didn’t realize until tonight that I have more pigs than anything else. 
I am not a pig collector by any means. 
Maybe they just liked to paint pigs back when these were made so there are more of them to choose from. 
Or more logically, it’s because a couple of them are piggy banks. 
They may also remind me of the grandog, Fred.
I don’t care, they are as fun as ever and they do torment my sons. 
What’s wrong with liking pigs anyway?

They’re wonderful … it seems as if each one has a character all it’s own.

Your pigs are great! I love how you threw the picture of your dog (is that grandog Fred?) There is a striking resemblance!
Happy VTT

Back in the 1980s, I had a pig collection that got way out of control. Luv the Winston Churchill quote about pigs treating us as equals. The photos of your English bulldog made my heart go pitter patter. We had one many years ago.

I was scrolling down admiring your pig collection and then,Wham! What is that? Oh, it’s a dog! Scared me for a minute. Keep on collecting. I wish I could find some pigs; my grandson collects them.

Oh my gosh, I can’t decide what’s the most fun: the ceramic piggies, the adorable doggy or the real little piggy at the bottom- thanks for a fun and totally cute VTT post!
