Today’s does of cute comes from Pinky and Perky:

Pinky and Perky two four week old miniature piglets cool off at Pennywell Farm and Wildlife centre near Buckfastleigh, south western England Wednesday July 19, 2006 in this photo provided by the centre. The piglets were keeping cool with a huge lolly packed with carrots and other vegetables. ‘The recent heatwave has been exhausting for everyone and animals are no exception,’ said Catherine Tozer, assistant manager of the farm. ‘All the animals have been struggling with the heat so we have just tried to do everything we can to make them more comfortable. ‘After the initial shock and a bit of investigation, the ice lollies went down a real treat,’ she said.

Evidently this Tigress at the Chonburi zoo east of Bangkok was born in captivity and nursed by a pig for four months. Now it plays with piglets — in little tiger sweaters. Frankly, it’s almost too cute.

I just have to think it will all go terribly, terribly wrong one day.
