More New Piggyfriends.

It has taken us a while to bring you up to date with our other new Piggyfriends. We need Slave's help to extract the camera card as it is too small and fiddly for our paws but she has been spending far too much time painting the outside of our house. Doesn't she realise that piggy announcements are far more important than painting? 

Anyway....here they are...

When Slave and her son were at Pooh Piglets rescue, they were putting Cobweb and Tamworth into their carrier to come home when Pauline said that she had two more boars needing a home. Slave always has an extra carrier in the car  "just in case" and it seldom comes home empty.

Pauline opened the hutch and they could see one piggy that Slave said looked just like our Caoimhe so out he came. He is the one on the right in the pigture. Then Pauline lifted out his brother, who is a Sheltie. 

As we said in our previous post, once Slave has picked up a piggy, they never go back into the hutch. These little boys are older than our other newbies but are not quite full grown.

After lots of cuddles and a free haircut for the Sheltie, they all came home.

This little fellow is the Sheltie and he has a nice brown stripe down the middle of his nose. Neither of them had names so Slave has called this one Benedict.

And here is the Caoimhe lookalike, whom she has named Dominic.

Here they are together. Slave thinks that our US readers will have another name for the Sheltie breed but she cannot remember what it is. Too much painting we say! He is like a Peruvian but his long hair grows back from his face instead of having a fringe. 

While we were typing this ( and it takes a long time with everypig trying to "help" ) she thought that the Shelties might be called Silkies in the US. Is that right? Maybe a reader will correct us.

As Pauline had several families waiting outside the piggy shed, she never got to hear their back story but they are safe now here at Piggyfriends and are eating everything in sight except for cucumber, which they ignore! More for the rest of the herd! Slave has lots of them growing in her greenhouse. Yum yum!
