5 highlights for your West Seattle Tuesday afternoon/evening

This week, the daily preview seems to be taking an unplanned brief break from bird photos. These pals turned up in the WSB inbox, courtesy of Eric Shalit from Box Turtle Design – that’s his little Piggy with poodle friend Django, who belongs to Eric’s friend, West Seattle author Conrad Wesselhoeft. Now on to the calendar highlights:

    What? Is that minuscule piglet real? Is that poodle laughing? I’m viewing from my phone. Omg…is this what hallucinating feels like? I’m never eating Girl Scout cookies for breakfast again…

  • rocky raccoon March 26, 2013 (11:21 am)

    Looks like the perfect size for throwing the pigskin around.

  • pigeonmom March 26, 2013 (11:40 am)

    BEST.PICTURE.EVER.

  • Jojofrenchfry March 26, 2013 (11:53 am)

    That photo sure made me smile this morning. And Heather’s comment made me laugh out loud because I thought something very similar. Is this real?

    • WSB March 26, 2013 (11:54 am)

      Yes, it’s very real. If you follow the link to Conrad’s website, for example, you’ll find out more about Django the poodle. And Eric is a real person too, longtime WSB reader and occasional photo contributor, though I don’t know if Piggy has a webpage :) – TR

    First, I agree with pigeonmom. Best picture ever! Secondly, Heather…that has to be the best post ever! LOL! Seriously though, how is that piggy real?! Wonders never cease…

    Make me want some Bacon Bits.

  • Karen Sykes March 26, 2013 (12:31 pm)

    I love this photo, makes me happy!

  • SomeGuy March 26, 2013 (12:32 pm)

    The poodle is 40 feet tall.

  • jissy March 26, 2013 (1:04 pm)

    Wait, an off-leash dog AND off-leash pig? Oh the horror!! (I couldn’t resist)

  • vinyllover March 26, 2013 (1:13 pm)

    I cannot stop looking at this photo! It is perfect.

  • onceachef March 26, 2013 (1:36 pm)

    The pig says to the poodle, “where’d ya’ get your nails done honey?” :)

  • mookie March 26, 2013 (2:41 pm)

    That piggy should have a web page – if only to show us more photos, and let us learn about it’s happy West Seattle life!

  • westcatle March 26, 2013 (2:52 pm)

    o.k.-one more time, if I open my eyes and I STILL see a pig I’ll quit eating cat poop..

  • Noelle March 26, 2013 (5:58 pm)

    Is West Seattle zoned, or what ever it would be, for pet piggies? I know a lot of people have urban chicken farms!

  • WenG March 26, 2013 (6:09 pm)

    All the best to Mr. Seevers. To AS #1 (Pinehurst K-8) his school before Sanislo, he was irreplaceable.

  • KD March 26, 2013 (8:03 pm)

    Oh no! The breeders that came up with the ‘golden doodle'(golden retriever/poodle) are aiming for a ‘piggle’, or a ‘poodglet’. A ‘swine-doole’??!! Really cute little pig though.

  • N Admiral March 26, 2013 (9:22 pm)

    Please. Must know…what kind of piggie is that? Details please. I vote for the web page and no more Girl Scout cookies.

  • moji March 27, 2013 (12:28 am)

    yeah, um… is that an off-leash pig?

  • bianca March 27, 2013 (11:29 am)

    +1 for more pig info :)

  • beboshuzi March 27, 2013 (1:11 pm)

    That is NOT a real pig. Sorry, I wish it were because I’d get one.

  • I. Ponder March 27, 2013 (2:44 pm)

    While we’re at it, are the animals in Charlotte’s Web real? I need to know. Is the dog in the photo real? Is it really smiling? Is the photo real? Is the internet real? The only thing I’m sure of is that the internet is controlled by cats.

  • Heather March 27, 2013 (5:06 pm)

    Don’t be silly. That pig is real. I’m cloning it in my garage as we speak. I’m also posting an ad in hopes of hiring someone to help me create a line of “wee-pig wear”…. :)

  • I. Ponder March 27, 2013 (6:46 pm)

    It’s clear that Django’s love for Piggy is real!

Sorry, comment time is over.
