OMG LOOK HOW TEENY SHE IS ������ (also ahhhh love a brindle!! i didn't know Chis came in brindle :O )

Lololol I was wondering wtf was going on. Oh Tumblr.

BUT I DON'T WANNA MOVE TO SPACE :(

I like carpet, and new neutral carpet is gonna be a lot cheaper than hardwood....but I'd think it'd be better to get a decent laminate for the same price. o_O Unless you're going for REALLY cheap carpet.

If someone likes carpet, that is a good enough reason to have it! But I don’t. (and even if I did, these were so gross that I would have removed them regardless.)

And I get the price factor, but I also feel like wood floors allow for a higher asking price for a seller, if they are available. I think as a selling point, restoring the original parquet floor would allow you to tack on a couple thousand where even new carpeting wouldn’t. I mean, this guy was doing nothing in the way of renovating to sell - from what I understand, the apartment had been empty for months prior to being put on the market, and he hadn’t lived in it in years, but had had a tenant in there.

Happy birthday and congrats on your upcoming wedding!! Also unbalanced hits on when I put away childish things due to rereads seems likely. Have read it maybe a dozen times myself so far :D

HAH! I’m pretty sure @sonickitty clocked 100 of those hits personally.  But hey, I didn’t mean to come off as complaining about the ratio!  Some of the loveliest conversations/comments I’ve ever had were on that story, and there’s a lot to be said for quality over quantity.  Some fics make you want to leave kudos, and some fics make you want to leave comments, and all are good. 

And thank you!! <3

GIRL BULL/ DORIAN IS THE SHIT THEY ARE BOTH SO FUCKING HOT

speaking of did you read the book where a unicorn and a kraken are mismatched magical-FBI-bureau agents? bc it's gr8

I think it's more likely that both pigs and people are 'skin colour =/= hair colour' animals. People's skin tones vary over their bodies but don't take up the shade of their hair, as far as I know (eg: even very pale people can have very dark hair; very dark people with pale hair). Pigs are very genetically similar to humans especially in skin - thus their usefulness for animal testing and transplants and the like.

But I do have birthmarks that grow darker hair than the surrounding skin. I mean, I have so little pigment anywhere that it’s hard to notice, and real sparse body hair besides, but I have a huge silver dollar-sized mark on my right ankle, which is about the color of like, normal person skin, a really faint pinkish brown, and grows dark brown hair, while the rest of my leg is approximately the color of paper and grows blondish-brown hair. It’s not that there aren’t variations in the color of my hair all over-- lighter on top of my head than at the base of my neck, and I mean, in areas where my body hair grows thicker, it’s also a bit darker, though not much-- but it’s notable, at least on that spot. (I have another birthmark on my neck, and again, it’s pretty pale, but I can’t say as I’ve noticed the hair on it at all, though I can’t see it well because it’s kind of behind my jaw in any reflective angles I can get on it. They’re not really dark birthmarks, but they’re big enough, and they’re not moles, which often have strange hair growth associated with them-- I have those too, mind!) 

I didn’t think to get a photo of my birthmarks. But I have a sample photo of one of the pigs, taken yesterday. 

You can see that the hair and the skin underneath have slightly different areas of pigmentation. I feel like that’s pretty clearly what I’m looking at, there. But whether the pig we just processed had markings like that or not, I’m not sure; my only clue was a bit of remaining black hair stubble on one shoulder.

FWIW when I raised blue butt pigs, they definitely had blue-black pigmentation on their rumps, and that was still there after we scalded and ran them through the tumbler!

I love that there is such a thing as blue butt pigs. What a name. Oh huh-- Googling them is interesting. So one of the related searches google suggested was Old Spot, and that’s what these pigs are. Well, mutts-- they’re “heritage stock” hogs, not commercial bred, and they’re a mix of Tamworth and Old Spot and... sort of... assorted. (The red breeding sow, whose name is creatively Red, is pretty much purebred Tamworth, to the point that she has their characteristic kneeling posture when nursing. The others are just Old Spot-ish mutts, including the boar, who I’m actually not sure of his breed at all-- but whatever he is, his offspring are universally charming and he’s very sweet-natured, so I can’t complain. I really do like that dumb boar.) 

Anyway-- inconclusive! Maybe that pigment is more superficial in some than others! Maybe this pig was the one from the last batch that was tricolor, and most of his variegated colors were brown and white, and he only had a little black, so maybe his skin wasn’t black in any places.
