Eth-pig




Toy
Blue dye fabric / navy
From home
This to me, is just such a different and special depiction of the usual cute pig. I don't know if it is, but it just looks like one of those handmade, vintage toys.

Smokey



Toy
Unknown with plastic cover / peach
Taxi driver's dashboard
This poor piggy still looks cute regardless of being stuck in the tight, non breathable plastic that is stained by the nasty cigarette smoke.

Black Mochi



Plush Toy
Faux fur / grey (salt 'n pepper)
From Dad
He used to guard my black on black Jetta, the BIG black mochi, and go to school with me everyday. Pictures definitely don't do this pig justice, he is so cute in real life!
