Piggie in Wellington Boots!

we all know the Pussy-in-boots..story..
but then.. Behold...for something so cute you could not even have conceived of it. ..Piggie Cinder in wellington boots!
You can't get much happier than a pig in mud, or so we are being told. But when this little piggy was born in the farmyard, she showed a marked reluctance to join her siblings as they splashed around in the mud. While others are enjoying dishing in the dirt and mud, she stayed on the edge shaking. It is thought that she might have mysophobia - a fear of dirt.


TaDa...!!! Custom-made Stationary holder- wellington boots.. did the trick !
cute sia..., woaahaha.
The owners, Debbie and Andrew Keeble were at a loss, until they remembered the four miniature boots used as pen and pencil holders in their office. They slipped them on the piglet's feet - and into the mud she happily ploughed. . . The couple, who run the award-winning Debbie and Andrew's sausage company in Thirsk, North Yorkshire, named the young saddleback Cinders after Cinderella and her magical glass slippers. They are using her to front a campaign to give a better deal to pig farmers. It was mentioned by the owners that Cinders will be spared from the sausage factory as "She's more of a pet really now and she's going to live a very long and happy life," instead serving as a mascot for the Farm Crisis Network, which supports struggling farmers.

Mysophobia (mə′liz·mə′fō·bē·ə) — commonly known as germaphobia,
is a term used to describe a pathological or irrational fear of contact with dirt, to avoid contamination and germs. A person with this fear is often referred to as a “mysophobe.”
