Critter Confession
Here at the Pond, we have lots of creatures–real, imaginary, stuffed, statue-like, flying, crawling…you get the idea. And sometimes, our creatures get the urge to purse their souls. They wish to empty their closets of skeletons, unlock secrets from their souls and bare all.
And now is one of those times.
So for the first time ever, Invisible Friends, we have a critter confession….from the Love Pig.

Hello, Invisible Friends.
I confess.
I couldn’t help it.
I couldn’t deny myself.

I was smitten.
I was in love with a warthog.



You see, when I was a piglet, I dated an older warthog. Tusks, furry chin, cranky disposition–she had it all. I was enamored with her snorts, captivated by her shrieking squeals–I even admired her foul stench.

Alas, she broke my little porcine heart and left me for Hogzilla, who had ginourmous tusks. My wings and collection of love arrows were no match for him. Since then, I’ve stuck to dating pot belly pigs in the city.

Ahh. I feel much better now.
That concludes our first edition of Critter Confessions.
Stay tuned, Invisible Friends! We have a week full of fun stories, recipes and whimsical delights coming up! Stay tuned!

LOL – I think that the love pig should consider himself saved when the warthog ran off with Hogzilla – she was kind of scary!

Oh Love Pig, I’m sorry your heart was broken. You poor thing!

We have all been in love with a few “warthogs” in our lives…

I have a friend with 3 sons and a real 125 pound pig in her house named HAMLET. Funny to see him in her kitchen.

Wow, even pigs fall for the bad boys!
May 30th, 2009 at 8:03 am
Poor Love Pig!! I think that pot belly pigs are nice than warthogs anyhow. . .
I’m excited to see the Prom!! However, don’t let Queen Bitty rig the election!!

I’m sure Love Pig’s dream ‘hog’ is out there somewhere!

Dear Love Pig,
Are you trying to prove that love really is blind? Have you had your eyes examined lately? You are so cute and sweet. You deserve much better than a smelly old warthog!! You were doing her a favor!
Love,
A friend

you are soooo adorable.
May 30th, 2009 at 9:58 am
See, i can’t even think that’s weird since all my stuffed animals have family trees, jobs, and secret lives. I wish Love Pig much luck in the future and hope he can find a pig who deserves his love!

Oh my gosh too funny!
May 30th, 2009 at 10:11 am
Wow, that is quite the warthog picture you found there! Have a good weekend

You are so fast in posting!!!

That is one fine looking warthog, hard not to fall in love..

Should’ve known that warthogs were heartbreakers. Stick to pot belly pigs; they’re sweet animals. Plus, they can live in the house! (And they’re super clean.) Glad little piggy got this confession off of his chest

LOL
Love the love pig.

Warthogs are pretty awful looking. By the way, I would love to read your stories to my girls. Sorry I haven’t gotten back sooner. I’ve had sick chickens at my house this week.
May 30th, 2009 at 7:14 pm
haha, that is adorable! You should have confessions of dogs, I think it would be hilarious!!
May 30th, 2009 at 8:08 pm
LOL! Adorable. I love love stories!
May 30th, 2009 at 9:06 pm
How funny! Where did you come up with that?
May 30th, 2009 at 9:23 pm
You are so hilarious! I think you better come over to my house and make my kids and I laugh all day! I’ll make you some pink cupcakes! :0)

I confess I love piglets. They’re so cute. I have all the sketches done Duckie, just have to transfer them to the proper paper and scan them for you! I hope that you like them! XXOO

So funny!
May 31st, 2009 at 9:19 am
Ah, confession is good for the soul, er, pig! Heartache is tragic no matter who, um, or what, is involved. Hope his confession enables him to pursue true love!
May 31st, 2009 at 9:48 am
OH MY GAWD I love it!
May 31st, 2009 at 11:50 am

May 31st, 2009 at 5:48 pm
A warthog? Bwahahahahahaha!

Who doesn’t know not to date a warhog? I mean, come on pig! Get it together!
June 1st, 2009 at 9:50 am
Super cute! You have quite the imagination!!!
June 1st, 2009 at 12:29 pm
