Despite her qualifications as an escape artist, Esk is short for Eskarina the first female wizard on the Discworld. Aagje is our Curious Georgina, or as we say in dutch: Nieuwsgierig Aagje, constanly investigating, licking and biting things. She's also quite the commentator, muttering to herself when she's scurrying around the cage.
Aagje and Esk come from the Knaaghof. A very nice animal shelter in The Hague. Someone dumped Esk and Aagje together with four other pigs at a play farm and the shelter took them in and nursed them back to health. The pigtures that you see in this post, come from the facebook page of the knaaghof. They graciously allowed us to use them here. We can really tell that they were treated well in the shelter. They are such sweet girls, and it is obvious that they are used to being handled. They behave so well when their nails and hair are cut, or when their ears are cleaned
Congratulations on your new additions --- they are lovely and it sounds as if they are settling right in.
ReplyDeleteMy Horatio is a "commentator", too. He is constantly clucking to himself like a little chicken, always giving a play by play account of whatever he's doing. Or maybe he is complaining about my cage-cleaning skills or the quality of the veggies!
They are so cute welcome girls xxx
