Have You Heard The One Of The Pig Afraid To Walk On Mud?

Now that is just to precious for words Pye. Who would have thought that a pig would end up with such a fear.... rotflmao

my calico has a fear of black things on the floor. she does this step dance around it,and that tapping paw to see if it moves. i'm beginning to wonder if she has a depth problem or something,and thinks it's a hole? something about her vision seems off..

It is very funny. One of my dogs will never walk over the water or mud, the other can run over water and mud with pleasure. Pigs cool down their bodies in mud, because they don't sweat. The mud also protects a pig from insect bites and from sunburn... What about the one pig? maybe she is the one that needs to be kept as pet... And she is already famous, isn't she?

I have labs that absolutely hate the water, you see all of those pictures with labs swimming...forget it, not ours. They walk around puddles, they hate when it rains and what a job getting them into the tub on bath day. We have tried babies swimming pools to help them stay cool in the summer and forget it..they won't go near them. The older one also does not retrieve

lol. No I didn't know they could have phobias, but I guess it makes some sort of weird sense. One of my cats doesn't like people she doesn't know and all cats I think abhor the vacuum cleaner. But other than that my cats are fearless or somewhat fearless.

hello pye, thanks so much for the new information, something i am grateful about mylot is learning and my vocabulary is getting better LOL it sure is a very cute pig and i love the looks of those boots Cinder's looks very happy with those pairs haha. i love pigs too but unfortunately we cannot have it at home or our neighbors will gonna be complaining. pigs are considered one of the smart pets so i kinda hoping i can get one someday, who knows. the owners of Cinder are very kind and considerate about her (?) personality, i wish all owners will be like that. i cannot raise a farm coz i will end up keeping them all as my pet so that is a huge bummer haha. anyway, regarding to your other questions. NO i am not REALLY aware of any phobias of animals THOUGH i have to admit that i need to read more about my dog behavior coz he is afraid of so many stuff specially sewerage, he is not gonna walk near it and you will have to carry him if there is no other way for him as it is very hard for him coz he will start shakin. it is very sad coz i dont know how and where it started coz we got him as a puppy from a puppy mills i guess. he doesnt like other people and showed a lot of fear to any kind of noises specially the dish washer, you will find him hiding underneath the bed which is very far from our kitchen but i guess that is the only place he find himself safe. do you know anything about this kind of behavior? you seem to know a lot of phobias so i wonder if you can share some info with me, i appreciate it a lot. good night!

OMG! That is so funny! I've had pets that were afraid of loud noises but never afraid of dirt. Those little boots made me laugh. I guess "these boots are made for walkin'" and she says "weee-weeee-weeee all the way home" from the market!

Well, Scamp is afraid of strangers, rather more afraid than normal. But I don't know that you can call a known scardy cat as a phobia.

That's a very amusing story and a cute photo, pyewacket. A pig who is afraid of dirt is sort of like a duck who is afraid of water.The Keebles should be able to find booties to fit Cinders pretty easily as her feet grow most anyplace where shoes are sold. I know of a few dogs who fear the vacuum cleaner, and we had a dog once who was so afraid of water that we had to chase her down and hold her to give her a bath. A pig who is afraid of mud is sort of like a duck who is afraid of water.

Now that is cute a pig that doesn't like to get dirty or at least get her feet dirty. That just goes to show everyone that animals have character. They are just a little more that animals they have feeling and think too. This pig know that she doesn't like to get dirty. That is so cool, i know the people she belong too had to think different about pigs after this little one. Have a nice day.

Pye's Mommy this is Luna..Rosekitty's darling..she told me to tell you that she's going pee and won't let me follow her....I do have a problem though..I'm kinda crosseyed from being A Siamese and afraid of walls since i walk into them sometimes but my mommy loves me anyway.

this is so unusual, and funny, its cute, about animals that have phobia, im not sure about this but they sure do look like they have one, cats i think are afraid of getting wet, and i think all animals are instinctively afraid of fire, this is a really funny post, i enjoy reading it

Thats really really funny. Thanks for sharing

Yes, i also read about this pig in the newspaper today morning. i could not stop laughing.i have heard babbies doing these kind of things, but pigs, i cant even imagine that a pig refuses to walk on the mud and starts walking when it is put on the booties.Really i guess the pig is pampered a lot :)

Yes I saw it on TV yesterday Morning and he looked so cute I was thinking of getting Gissi some of them as he does not like getting his Paws dirty either lol I think he would look cute in little Wellies

wow that is a new one for me, so weird, lol, poor cinders, I hope he will be okay or she or whatever it is.

never heard of such a thing and my father in law raised 100s of pigs. Yes my dog didnt like this one hat my hubby had on the dresser he would bark and bark at the dresser till I figured out what it was different wow the new hat that was put up there removed it and he was ok .

Now how did I miss this discussion? lol That is just too far out for a pig hating to get dirty. Wonder what they ended up using as booties for the pig once it outgrew the old ones.

That is very unusual, but the pictures are really cute. I suspect that with the advent of this article they will get plenty of suggestions on footwear for the future. I know that funny as it seems pigs do make excellent pets.

Yes, I read this story yesterday and have to admit I found it hilarious. There were loads of pictures of her too with her little wellies on. It certainly is funny to think that an animal that is supposed to love mud is afraid of it. She may grow out of it though as she gets older. But it is certainly cute to see her in her wellies hee hee.
