Agent Thorntons reporting.
Slave has been very busy at work and has not had the time to take up to date pigtures of the Piggyfriends in the garden but I found these in her photo album and have scanned them for you to see. She has hundreds of indoor pigtures but not many outdoor ones.
Four pigtures show the big sow pen - a big pen for sows rather than a pen for big sows ( although they are big aren't they? ). The pen is 12 ft by 12 ft and has an old garden hammock frame inside it. Slave attaches sheets to this frame to make a tent like shelter so that we are not in the sun. There is also an old oak tree to shelter us. Slave has lots old hutches, which have been given to her over the years by people handing over their piggies. Nobody lives in a hutch but they are useful as shelters when we are in the garden. Sometimes she uses boxes for us to hide in if she does not have the time to get the hutches out of the garage but then the girls drag the hay out and make a mess.
The boars have their own pens in the garden. Here is a pigture of one of them. They are folding pens, which can be put away when not in use and have a folding lid too, one side is wire and the other has a solid top to keep off the sun and to stop birds stealing from our dishes.
I will nag her to take some new pigtures before winter comes.
We love your pigtures, Piggyfriends! You girls have a huge pen - bigger than our new pen and probably bigger than our old pen. We must get a metre stick and measure up, and then lodge an official complaint if it's not big enough! Our slave seems to thinks it's a big deal to transfer all of us from one enclosure to another. Does yours?
ReplyDeleteHi Squeakers,
ReplyDeleteOur Slave says that she only worries about taking us all out and bringing us all indoors again as she has to negotiate a few steps up and down to the lawn, carrying her "precious piggies", a few at a time, in a box. She is always glad when one of the human family is home to help or even a visitor who can carry one of us in a pipe. Even the most inexperienced piggy handler can carry a pipeful of pig with a hand over each end of the pipe.
We love the pigtures and the outside floortime, we to feel we must lodge a complaint that our facilities are not so grand.
ReplyDeleteWe look forward to the new pigtures as well

What a lovely pictures of guinea pigs, so many of them and they're so cuddly. Wish I have that many but then I dont have much time for it at the moment though. Thank you for sharing it to us, I enjoyed watching the still pictures. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, Penny that is soo nice, You and Stef inspire me to get a house with a garden next (but no actual moving plans at the moment), plus that will be great for growing veggies as well!
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime, you can practice growing veggies on your terrace. Your piggies will love you even more when the food is just outside the door. Our Slave has just picked us some super fresh parsley.
