Piggie in the house!

[secuono]

Found a home for the pair! Mrs piggy easily moved to the crate. Mr piggy put up a fight, 70min later, I ended up with more mud on me than the hog, sweating gallons and out of breath....



Redid the boar section of the hog pen, moved PB glit in there. 2hrs later, she's screaming. She hot stuck escaping, bad pig!

Pipper went into her cat carrier and I moved her to her outdoor pen for the day.

2 out of 4 behaving nicely is better than I thought it'd be.

Pet me!!!

Nooo, come back!

Yes, sure, secuono, you had to get a shot of your 'baby' in with the piggy photos.

I fear I'd have a pet regardless of why or how I got a pig in the first place. Pipper is such a dear.

Lol, he really wanted to get to the piggy's food! I gave him the empty bucket from her mash, but he wanted more. He's such a hog!

Decided to call the other pig Pepper.

 

[so lucky]

There is a cartoon on Nickelodeon, I think, called Peppa Pig that is really cute. They all speak with a British accent. Very funny, in a weird way.

Didn't want to be alone?

Looks like I may of found a buyer for the sow and the boar(parents of the PB glit)! If they do sell tomorrow like planned, then I'll be working on getting the PB glit to make friends with Pipper.

I don't want to have any more piglets, but pigs need friends, but Pipper is too adorable to rehome, but the boar won't sell without a sow to go with him....Lol, so yea.

Pipper comes running when I call her. She met the sow and glit yesterday, but that didn't go great for Pipper. Others chased her off and she'd run up to me, hop into my lap and wait for the bullies to settle before hopping off and trying again.

If pipper can't make buddies with the glit, I'll have a very spoiled lone and needy Pipper living in the shed during winter and out with the horses during summer.

glit ? ( sp)
