The big debate: A pig, or an armadillo

So, tonight, Valdemar and I are having a 'debate', which, is not at all unusual, exept for the fact that this time the debate has nothing to do with child rearing, finances, or what to eat for dinner, which is another subject for another post. Today, we are having a 'discussion' about whether or not Piglet (from the popular Adventures of Winnie the Pooh) is a pig, or perhaps an armadillo. Valdemar is stuck on the fact that Piglet is indeed a pig, being that all of the other charachters have names pertaining to their species (Rabbit, being a rabbit, and Owl being an owl). I however do not see all that much of a resemblance to a pig. What pig do you know that has stripes across his body? What pig has pointy little ears? I don't know why they named him 'Piglet'. Why is Pooh, named Pooh? Valdemar argues that if Piglet is indeed an armadillo he should be named Pigladillo. Maybe, just maybe his mother was a pig, and his father was an armadillo? Even after careful study of several pictures of armadillos, Valdemar is keeping to his story - will someone please set him straight?!!
