Not quite a May Queen
When Slave read my post the other day, she was upset at my disappointment at not being able to be the May Queen on 1st. May. She takes special care of the Piggyfriend Pensioners and we all get an extra cucumber allowance. At 6 years and 9 months, I am the oldest piggy here.
There are still no blossoms on our hawthorn hedge, although there are lots of tiny buds and her friend had no blossom either. Slave says that this has been a strange Spring with some plants flowering very early and some late.
She says that, in France, people give each other bunches of Lily of the Valley on May 1st but the ones in the garden are not in flower yet either and they would have been dangerous to have in my pigture as they are toxic.
So she picked this big bunch of forget me nots from the garden and took this pigture. I was really pleased and tried to eat the flowers. Slave says that they are harmless but not really piggy food so I had some dandelions when I went back to my pen.
A belated Happy May Day from Petunia Piggyfriend.

No Mayflowers, no Friday video, what is the world coming to?
Agent Flower reporting.
Every year, our Slave picks one of us girls to be May Queen and she gathers mayflowers from the garden and makes a pretty pigture.
Spring was cold and late this year and, although she has searched diligently for the appropriate blossom, she has been unable to find any.
I was going to be May Queen this year and I am so disappointed. Here is our pigture from last year, when, as you can see, Florence was surrounded by mayflowers. This is not fair. ...grumble...grumble.
We do not have a Friday video today but we thought that baby Tijger's video of her learning tricks was so good that it deserves a second look. Slave has watched it over and over and we hope it is not giving her ideas. None of us are young enough to learn tricks.
Here is the link. Do watch it again.

Slave is going to collect newspapers tomorrow from a kind lady who saves them for our pens. She has hawthorn in her garden ( mayflowers are the blossom from this tree ) and maybe she has some for me. Paws crossed.

Please welcome the piggy Dmitri Stormlord
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!

Non-friday video(s): Tijger learned to spin!
It's a bit early for a friday video, but I really wanted to share this with you.
Our little Tijger was taught a trick by her dad E!
Some of you may know this as 'Do a circle', but the word 'Spin' is a lot shorter, we hoped she would just recognize this one word then do the trick..
At the moment she will start spinning when she sees you coming with the veggies, WOL. Now dad is trying to teach her 'Up', which means she stands on her hind legs. When he says either Up or Spin she will do both a spin and stand on her hindlegs, so she has not really mastered the difference yet. But either way we think this is a smart solution of her. I made no videos of the Up yet, but here are two more spin videos... I'm also trying to teach Peaches to do the spin now.
