RUN!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!! THERE’S A GIANT HOG AT THE TOP OF THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING!!!
Fernando takes ManhattanAfter attacking the Empire State Building, the notorious P.I.G. moved on to another monument.
Not the real Statue of LibertyThen he stopped by the library.
This lion is named “Patience.”He took a look at the World Financial Center downtown.
Then hog-nogged with a local resident.
But when it comes down to it, there’s one thing that Fernando von Bakonstein likes to do best.
I am recommending to McGone that this pig be sent to rehab immediately. Oh, Fernando! You might be a drunk but I am still going to miss you.
Fernando’s farewell portrait by John MuggenborgUPDATED TO ADD: Fernando is now on his way home to his rightful owner. I hope the U.S. Postal Service is taking good care of him!
Don’t send him to rehab Wendy! He needs to live his life to the full and on the edge-you rock Fernando, baby!
Looks like Fernando is doing NYC in style. Instead of rehab, why don’t you send Fernando to visit me in SA for a while? I’ll introduce him to a couple of warthogs, take him out for a couple of quiete dinners and make sure he gets lots of R&R. He’ll come back to you a new man…err…pig. That would be so cool!!! If you’re interested you can send him to me, and I’ll send him back to you once he’s fully recovered? I can mail you my address under separate cover.
Holy moly! I thought the first pic was smokey building like a 9/11 attack!!!
Dipsomaniac pigs are the coolest..this post has inspired me, and I’m going to re-read PG Wodehouse’s Blandings novels now (featuring a prize pig named Empress of Blandings..royalty+pig= lots of laughs for me).
That’s hilarious! Love it. V. cute, but he won’t be for long if he keeps up with all that wine. =)

Just a girl
Oh Fernando leave the wine alone! You’re ruining your good looks and charisma!
Fernando should go on a national pub (really wine bar) crawl before rehab. It’s the only sensible thing to do!
He has a standing invitation at Promises for whenever he can man (pig) up to his problem. But who am I to deny Fernando his fun?
Thanks for going above and beyond in your hostess duties, Wendy.
They tried to make me go to rehab but I said, “no, no, no.”
Cheers Fernando!
I heart Fernando.
That pig has more fun than I do.
A good rehab for piggy might be the Betty Pork Center. Ouch, that was bad.
not sure what size shoe you wear, but those amazing YSL black paint wedges are on Bluefly (Size 6)…just wanted to give you a heads up.
LOL, Weasel.
Tam Pham, thank you. I am not sure what size shoe I am either. It seems to range from a 6 to a 7.5 nowadays. I wish there were some consistency!
Farewell, Baconstein. You’ll always have Paris.
Look, he has wine on his little snout.

Not going to rehab’s worked wonders for Amy Winehouse…
Those hooves aren’t designed for gripping tall buildings…watch out!
Fernando has been living the high life in NY! Two professional portraits: wow, that will be hard to top.
