Ariel came to Potbelly Manor in April of 2009. Her mother was one
of 100 pigs rescued from a hoarding situation in Pennsylvania. Thankfully Ariel was still in her mother's belly
and was spared the ordeal. Her life has been one of privilege and joy-she's treated like the princess she is at
Potbelly Manor!
Ariel has had numerous appearances:
June 2009: Ariel visited several schools
in the North Kingstown area to teach children about the importance of respecting animals and treating them kindly.
Spring 2010: Additional school visits-children love Ariel!

ARIEL'S TV DEBUT!!
Ariel enters show biz as
a political pig named "Earmark" and falls in love with Uncle Sam!
Ariel poses in the back of a 1960s Monte Carlo, waiting
for shooting to begin (or waiting for someone to deliver her slightly chilled organic carrots with a side of Cheerios)
Ariel takes a bribe from one of the crew to stay seated while
the director contemplates the angle of the shot.
A view of the set as equipment is assembled in preparation
for shooting.
Wait! Mom stole my Uncle Sam! Where's
my manager! I want to renegotiate my contract! Where's my organic carrots! Bring my filtered water!
A normal day hanging around at the farm, contemplating
trouble.....
