Description
This is a pig with a happy story! She came to live on a farm in Southern France as a tiny piglet where she grew and grew to a rather substantial size. Actually she would have been turned into quite a feast of ham, sausage, pate and the like ... but those who had cared for her fell in love with Caillette making her the family pet. Leading a charmed life this little pig went oui, oui, oui all the way home. This little pig did not go to market. Extra note: her fun hair-do ... looks like she uses gel:-) p.s. for those of you that have followed the story of Caillette she is still (I'm happy to say) enjoying a life of leisure.

She is so cute. What a charming portrait... it's nice when subjects don't put on their "camera face". :-)
