Title: Christmas Piggy
Post by: mowhaugh on December 23, 2013, 08:54:57 pm

HappyHippy's very kind OH delivered Delilah, a young Large Black sow to us today, she is my OHs Christmas pressie from our boys.  I am very excited, and she is not even my pig.  She is beautiful and gentle, and hopefully she, Doreen and Miss Piggy will all be friends soon (as long as Miss Piggy doesn't realise her days are numbered now Doreen has another LB lady friend!).

She is gorgeous, he was delighted.  She is actually not all that sure of him just yet, but is very friendly with me, they'll get to know each other, though.

So pleased he's pleased  :thumbsup:
Tell your OH to lift her ears so she can see him better, it should help. Think maybe all my pigs are 'ladies pigs' as it tends to be me who fusses over them and indulges them more than my OH  :innocent:
I miss her gentleness, she's such a laid back, friendly, unassuming pig but I know she's gone to a very good home  :hug:
