There are always a lot of wonderful piggies needing homes at Pooh Piglets Rescue in Haywards Heath, which is about a 45 minute drive from Piggyfriends.
Slave and her son went to see them last week and came home with these two little boars.
They are not related but Pauline, the lovely lady who runs this rescue, paired them up and when Slave and her son arrived, they were the first two that Pauline lifted out of their hutch and gave out one pig to each of them.
Having picked up a piggy, it is impossible to put him back ( according to Slave ) so these little guys came home with her.
Slave always takes a long time to choose names for us but she finally settled on Tamworth for the orange fellow on the left. Here he is again.
Slave told us that there is a breed of orange coloured farm pig called Tamworths. They are only babes but Tamworth is a couple of months older than......
.......Cobweb, the little white babe above. They are both what Slave calls "nearly Abbies" in that they have a few rosettes in their coats but not as many as a true Abby.
They are still a little nervous coming to a strange new home but Cobweb behaved better for our little photoshoot than Tamworth. See the outtake below......
If you would like to see two more additions to the Piggyfriend herd, watch this space!
And don't forget. If you live in the SE of England and have room for more piggies, give Pooh Piglets a call. You can read about the rescue on their Facebook page where you will find the phone number.
Welcome, Tamworth and Cobweb! You are very lucky to have been chosen to join the Piggyfriends clan: we hear the snacks there are the best! We hope to see more pigtures once you have settled in...
ReplyDeletePiggyfriends, we send a belated but big Welcome Home to Tamworth and Cobweb! How great that they get along so well. They are very handsome, and we love their "almost Abby" look. They are very lucky piggies, too, and we know they know it. Your friends Scottie and Coke, and Cindy
