Title: HappyHippy's a Great Gran!
Post by: Beewyched on June 26, 2011, 03:22:55 pm
Finally, my broadband is working again !!! Phew!

We've had a very exciting week - 2 lots of unexpected arrivals ...

Louise was due to meet Tommy next month & Portia had been honeymooning with Big Red for the past couple of months.  But SoS had got there first  ::) My little stud muffin had obviously learnt to stilt-walk at just 6-months old!

Louise has had 4, Portia 8 - all 12 have full sets of piris & are sooo very cute.  Mums & babies doing well.

lol! At 33 I'm too young to be a granny, never mind a great granny  ;) ;D ;D ;D
Glad they are all doing well, even if it means Red has still to 'prove' himself  ::) but we're working on that now  ;) ::) ;D
I agree with everybody else though Lynne - PHOTOS PLEASE  ;D ;D ;D

Yep, I think Louise's may turn-out brown tri, all of Portia's are black & white/black tri except for one which is white with black spodges - can't decide which to keep, they're all so sweet  :love: :pig: :love:

Yes Ruth, well spotted  ;) :D
It seems Red had no chance  ::) Despite Portia looking to be in season when she arrived  ??? it seems SoS beat him to it  ::) ;D SoS is a little boar Beewyched got from me last year with the intention of using him as a stud when he 'was big enough' - seems SoS thought he was big enough and despite being just ickle managed to work his way round all Lynne's gilts  :o ;D ;D ;D
I'm in the process of putting my little gold tipped gilt in with him to see if we can get some gingers  ;D I say 'in the process' cos we moved her down last season and she decided she didn't much care for him  ::) broke out into the paddock with some of my dad's friends horses and had a run-in with a stallion  :-\ She's fine and the stallion is no longer in the field, but we're going to move him up to her next time round....... I'll let you know once we get the patter of tiny ginger trotters  ;D
