Those of you who don’t regularly read Cute Overload probably missed out on two exceptionally cute stories with Amanda angles.
One of the cutest things I’ve ever seen in my life was pig racing at the Montgomery County (MD) Fair. They have little piglets with jerseys, and they race around a miniature track. The piggies start out in stalls just like horses, and they really go! It was amazing. Apparently, the cuteness of pig sports is not limited to Maryland; Moscow has Pig Olympics.
Since moving to St. Louis, I’ve spent a fair amount of time at the excellent and zoo. Since it’s free and centrally located, I can pop in to see a few animals when I have an hour or so to kill. One of my favorite exhibits is the hippo habitat, believe it or not. They’ve got a glass wall so you can see underneath the water, and hippos are very graceful when they swim. It’s fascinating. Unfortunately, they do not have any baby hippos.
