Title: I'm back
Post by: dysie39 on March 09, 2011, 10:13:26 am

Hi all, :wave:
I'm back, I've been away for some time now, I used to have 6 Kune Kune pigs, but had to re home them as the land I was renting was being used by all the idiot dog walking people who think its ok to let dogs run with livestock, my poor little piggies were terrorised
anyhow ive been reading some of the recent posts on here and its spurred me on to start having urges again should the right land come available
I've got my eye on a small farmhouse with about 5 acres of land and have approached the owners to see if its coming up for sale/rent, ( I'm cheeky like that )
anyway if it all works out I will be able to have my horse :horse: and a couple of others on D.I.Y livery, and maybe some hens, and I might even think about piggies  :pig: :pig: :pig:again,
Would love to do something with rare breed ducks or something else small scale
any info or ideas will be taken on-board
so hi to all who remember me, and hi to any newbies
ill be reading up on all the older posts ive missed
and adding whenever I can
Diane ;D

Hi welcome back, hope your idea takes root.  Sadly some dog owners/walkers have no idea of control.

Hello :wave:

Was only thinking about you the other day, wondering how you were doing.  It was such a shame you had to part with your pigs.  Hopefully you will be able to have some more when you get some land.

Welcome back  :wave:

Sorry to hear about the problem you had with the dogs, some  :dog: owners just make me so  >:(

Our  :pig: KKs &  :dog: s rub along with each other really well, but that might be because our  :dog: s are gunogs.
