OK Bayareafrancy, that was really cute. I'm thinking you could rent your kid out to all of us until we find another PIG. He is adorable. He's much cuter than my banana stand....but I will tell you the banana stand is working out very nicely. Towel gets to dry and not touch the counter, and its always in it's place. You can even dry your hands without taking it off the stand, kind of like a towel ring.

But I have to admit, I'm always looking for my towel because I keep forgetting it's on the banana stand. Silly me!

This is ridiculous! I just spent a good hour looking for that pig... as soon as I saw it, something came over me and I HAD TO HAVE THE PIG. I don't have time to find the darn pig but yet I've been looking for an hour. The Towel Pig must have magic in it or something because it has to be the cutest thing I've ever seen.

I'm joining in the search.

Morgne: LOL!!!!!!! I swear you could probably sell those on this forum!

Re: the magic of TowelPig
I don't need a pig. Never have. Never will. I saw TP during the original threads several years ago. I came on here this week and saw this thread. It couldn't be, thought I. After all these years?? I had to look. I got sucked in.

TowelPig cast his porcine spell on me.

Francy--LOL!

My kids are too big to be TowelKid. Shoot.

I am now chasing the kitties.

I have no life.

*snort*

Not a follower of pigs or religion and yet, here I am...having spent many hours Googling bizarre swine terms for the elusive critter and shouting out an amen to clergychick for a fabulous requiem for our dearly departed.

...and now Percy is on back order...surely there are spies here cashing in on the downtrodden!!!

LOVE the requiem for a Towel Pig. He will be missed. I think we should have a moment of silence. He was so adorable. Someday, someone will find him on a sale rack in the back of a kitchen or garden store and he will be redeemed.

Bumping out of respect for The Towel Pig. He'll always be on page number one with me.

I think he/she is this one at Amazon. The trick is to search for pig with head up. Good luck !!

Donna

Here is a link that might be useful: Amazon.com

And qmarker's offering "looks like brass" but is "less expensive than brass"! :-)

He looks similar, but I'm not quite feeling the Towel Pig vibe. Maybe it's the color and angle?

But if this will do for, THERE IS ONLY ONE LEFT!

HURRY!!!!

Guys! Here's a good one! http://shop.crackerbarrel.com/Cast-Iron-Pig-Doorstop/dp/B00KHTNXUI

Well I guess this is one thread I won't unsubscribe from. I remember this so well- and this definitely brought a smile to my face. (and what else have I got to do today with the blizzarding?)

That's him!!!

Hmmm, think I will have breakfast at Cracker Barrel tomorrow.....just got a craving for some bacon. Ha!

Wuh oh.... here we go again! :D

I'm back on the Kitchen Forum for five minutes and the blasted Towel Pig is back on page one!!! I LOVE it!

OMG. Is that T.H.E. Pig? It looks like T.H.E. Pig. It's just gotta be T.H.E. Pig!

it does look like him, only he is painted black and is cast iron. How big was THE Towel Pig, do we know? This one has dimensions of 7.5 X 3.75 X 5.6. I don't want to get taken in by an imposter. ;)

Clergychick! Good to "see" you! :)

I loved seeing the Towel Pig post come back. Such fun!

Looking back in the thread, there is a pic of the OTP, and I'd guess he's at least 12", Shelayne (Hi Shelayne! Good to see you too! I think I owe you many many compliments on your beautiful kitchen!)

Just what I figured... an imposter. ;) Those dimensions do seem small to keep even a folded towel off the countertop. A dishrag or washcloth, maybe. Hey, is anybody looking for "Dishrag Pig"? Hee Hee!

(Aww, thank you, Amy. You are too kind!)

I found a small one that holds a microfiber cloth! He's cute

The head on this one isn't raised but it is cute and big enough to hold a towel.

Holy moly! That pig costs $111.99! I'll hold your towel for half that! ;)

Also, is resin a metal? It is described as "solid metal" but the material is "resin".

Alas...the search continues...

Holy Hannah. I was doing a search on how to store dish cloths, and this has got to be the funniest thread ever! :D

Towel pig! I have been waiting and waiting for someone to resurrect this thread. I have a new candidate! Palmer the Pig from Grandin Road.

Aww, he's pretty cute lol

Has anyone ever brought up the Areaware Pig? She's technically a piggy-bank but I just bought one off of ebay and intend to use her as a towel pig. :)

Get thee to Home Goods!

I'll put it on hold under "GW"in case anyone wants it.

Ps I love the idea of a hedgehog!

ROTFL!
I haven't read through this thread since its inception.
I haven't laughed really, out loud, in a long while.
The off spring. The Rottie Rape, the child punishment. Oh, my I laughed.

Now I'm going to bed with a smile on my face.

So I'm scrolling through Facebook this morning and come across this. Obviously this is not a cat being a superhero -- I've never owned a cat, but from what I hear they are not the type to be superheroes -- it's a Towel Cat. Fess up, TKOs -- who did this to their cat?

Ha! That's priceless. Towel Cat to the rescue!

Perhaps the towel pigs live across the pond.
Could it be?

LOL, Amy! That kitty doesn't look very happy with the duty he has been assigned. Hahahaha! Honest, it wasn't me. I tried to put a little Halloween costume on one of my kitties once, and let's just say it didn't go well. :P

Oh my goodness, pravemarlee, you may have found him! Oh, Towel Pig.... Could this be true? The dimensions even work! Great job, Scooby!! ;)

pravelmarlee, THAT IS HIM!!! Wow! Towel Pig LIVES! and he's in the UK!

I would say this thread has to be a contender for one of the VERY best threads, and certainly longevity winning!! love it.

A while back, I started a “Towel Pig - The Saga Continues” thread just to introduce Pierre the Pig from Ballard. He’s cute.

I kind of want a towel pig now...

OMG. Found another one. And cheap. https://www.wayfair.com/outdoor/pdp/animals-barnyard-pig-statue-osz1132.html

Paper towel pig!

I'm in search of something to hold hand towels in bath. This is inspiring.

I think I found the Towel Pig on Etsy!

Jodi

!!!!!!!!!! Jodi - by gosh I think she's got it!

😃🐷

Yes that is very close!

YESSSSSS! TOWEL PIG!!
