Post by: Beewyched on November 08, 2012, 10:23:25 pm

Laptop screen's stopped working now, don't know why, but I can't blame the dogs this time  :thinking:
Managed to borrow a monitor to plug it into, so I'm back up & running again  :thumbsup:    ;D

Oh believe me. Joyce's litter's been snuggled far more than any of the others  :pig: :pig: :pig: :pig:   ;) 
I usually try & get the girls farrowing in pairs, so they can keep each other company in adjacent pens, but don't know what's going on with Tulip - she looks less in-pig now than when I brought her in 3 weeks ago  :thinking:

Well, just for a quick update on Tulip ...
Think it must have been a phantom pregnancy -  ::)  or maybe she'd been over-foraging  ???   Anyways, she's back in with one of the boys now  :fc: , with a threat of sausages  hanging over her this summer  :innocent:
 :love: :pig: :love:

 :wave: Hello

We'd a phantom pregnancy too (weirdly enough - with our Maisie pig !) to the point where we were getting milk from her udder  ::)
She's definately in-pig this time though  :thumbsup: Just another few weeks to go................

Hi Karen  :wave:
I just love this time of year - going out to the "maternity wing" of an evening - the soft glow of heat lamps & low grunting of contented mums, only interrupted by the occassional wee squeek & suckling sounds of piglets ... bliss  :hug:
 :love: :pig: :love:
