Garden animals?

Walking around the neighborhood the other day I noticed something strange. I don't understand some of the animal figurines that are proudly displayed among the flowers. Rabbits? See them for real in the gardens all the time.... gnomes? ( not in real life, but they are a known garden addition ). We saw these little "cuteys" known for snorting and mucking around in someones garden. My witty husband, smirking at me called them "Pigurines" Well now it makes sense, what else would you put in your garden, but a garden "pigurine!!"
