11/30: Dog nurses pigs

A fine Friday image - this one showed up on Yahoo's most popular earlier this week, but I've saved it for today. You know I'm a sucker for animal pics, but this one also accompanies this fine piece of dialogue from <i>Red Dwarf</i>:

<b>Holly</b>: Nothing wrong with dog's milk: full of goodness; full of vitamins; full of marrow-bone jelly! Lasts longer than any other type of milk, dog's milk.
<b>Lister</b>: Why's that?
<b>Holly</b>: No bugger will drink it!

Heh. Continuing the fine Friday tradition of funny pigs. I like it :)

Well it brings up the question: is dog's milk enough like pig's milk that the piglets can get all the nutrition they need from it?

And the big question: how close to human milk is cow's milk?

I dunno, but I don't think I'd let my kids go suck cow's udders, you sick freak. :)

Flavorwise your human juice is sweeter. I'd assume critters digestive systems do better on their own species milk but if mama pig is out fightin the big bad wolf you take what you can get.

Hmmm. She always said it was kinda salty. :P

then drink pineapple juice and stay off the meat/dairy =p

Did she compare it to other barnyard animals?

I feel quite strongly that there is no liquid more nutrient-packed, health-promoting or just plain fun than pig's milk. It's especially important for 18-month-old girls in Maryland. So, in the spirit of inter-species milk-sharing, I see no harm in raising some piglets on canine milk. Actually, I'm more curious about how I can get me a taste of that puppy. Looks so good I could sop it up with a biscuit. Ciao!

Not even close.

Yeah, I loves me some pig milk. With cereal, cookies or, yes, even biscuits. Mmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmm! The fresher, the better!
