In our last post, we told you about Hazel and Bonny and now we want to tell you about a little family that have joined us. They also belonged to our dear friend, Jason and they are retired show pigs too.
This is Mama pig. She is called Miss Bonbon. She is a big girl and she brought her two daughters with her.
Here she is with her daughter, Miss Bell. They were not keen on posing for the camera but this pigture shows what a large lady Bonbon is. She is the one on the right. It helps to tell them apart as, other than their size, Miss Bell does not have the ginger patch at the back.
And finally, this is her other daughter, Miss Marple. They are all Coronets, which are Shelties but with a little crest on the top of their heads. This pigture does not do justice to her colouring as she has a lot of agouti in her coat.
We will post some more pigtures when they are a little less camera shy. Most of us are used to posing for silly pigtures and we are sure that these five girls will soon learn how.
Please welcome the new additions, who are bringing joy to us all.
Stop press! Slave just managed to take a better pigture of Mama Bonbon and Miss Marple after being bribed with lettuce. Miss Bell snatched hers and ran into a house with it. Please excuse extraneous poo.
Here it is. We won't show you the pigture of Miss Bell as, although she is looking out of the house with her lettuce, someone has deposited a pile of poo right in front of the house. Better luck next time. Slave always says that boars are much more fastidious than sows.
Lovely to see pigtures of the new additions, welcome to the piggyfriends girls!

Welcome, Mama BonBon and your lovely daughters! You appear to be settling in to your wonderful new life with the Piggyfriends very well.
ReplyDeletePiggy people never worry about poos. As we all know, any locale which has been occupied by a piggy for more than fifteen minutes is going to have a poo or two lying around --- it's the sign of a healthy digestive system, and we are all big fans of that!
More like a pile of poos in fifteen minutes! (When I was a young girl, my family coined the term "bullets!")
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Miss Bonbon, Miss Bell, and Miss Marple! You are beautiful piggies!!! Did you come with your names? Did your previous Slave do your hair, or is it naturally lovely like that? Your new home is the BEST!!!

Yes, we did come with our names. We think that our new Slave has dropped the Miss from Bonbon and Bell, whom she is calling Bella as it is more like a name but Miss Marple cannot really be shortened. Our previous Slave had to take great care of our hair so that we looked our best for shows. Thanks to all for your nice comments. Slave has taken more photos today and you will be seeing us again.
