Please welcome the piggy Dmitri Stormlord! He is very small, only a couple of weeks old, if that. He is an Abyssinian, all black except for one golden tuft on his left side.
He was adopted from the Michigan Humane Society on Saturday. He was taken from a hoarder's house and had lice, but is doing much better now. He was hiding for much of Saturday and Sunday (he really likes his hay hut), but late on Sunday he came out to munch on some alfalfa. He is very brave! We are going to wait a week or two before introducing him to Apollo.
We have learned he likes carrots (his favorite), lettuce, and cucumber. We're very happy to bring this new piggy into our home!
-Jocelyn, Apollo, and Gruden von Squeakycheeks, and Dmitri Stormlord
What a great name for this beauty! Welcome little Dmitri :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome Dmitri!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations --- he's beautiful ! And the name is perfect; he looks like a bank of storm clouds with a bolt of lightning.
ReplyDeleteAre piggies this close to pure black unusual? I have had many with black markings, but I've never met one where black is such a predominant colour.
Such a wonderful little piggy and so very deserving of a great home. I do hope that he and Apollo get on. Thank you for giving him a new home, Jocelyn.
ReplyDeleteWelcome dear little Dmitri, a piggy with a name bigger than you are.
Welcome Dmitri you are a little cutie (we mean very manly piggy)
ReplyDeletePat I believe a self black piggy is very hard to achieve as some markings usually turn up somewhere
Dmitri is already such a cutie! Glad he found his forever home and is settling in :)
