Title: Hello Again!
Post by: Francis Bacon on June 24, 2008, 09:05:27 am
It feels like i've been away for an age  :(

Been to-ing & fro-ing between Uk & France since March! Have really missed the site & couldn't wait to get back on & see what everyone has been up to  :D

Hit the floor running & at last have had the time to have a quick look @ acc, Pigs are all fine, but am very sad at the moment as we may of lost our little cat Poppy, she's not been seen since Sunday  :( :'(

Congratulations Carole, some new Mangalitsa's. I bet they're absolutely gorgeous.  :-*

Anyway glad you guy's are all still here, look forward to catching up  ;)

Hi Francis - welcome back! Try not to worry about your cat - our little female dissapeared for five days and I was frantic, but she turned up healthy and well fed and slept for 24 hours.  I think she went on a hunting vacation.  Her son dissapeared for 6 days and turned up very thin and glad to be home. We think he was locked in somewhere. This time of year there are lots of distractions for them, and with people working their gardens etc, lots of sheds and the like for them to get shut in to.

Good luck and let us know what happens.

Glad the pigs are OK - constant job filling wallows at the moment isn't it! :pig: :)

SO glad to see you  back safe and well, I have been worried.
It must be all us Mangalitza owners who have lost their cats, mine went walkies on Friday and still not home, but then my fault a rescue not yet castrated male!!!!

Yes Mangalitzas are doing great, already pinching mothers food, please tell us how your piggies are doing, Marleys brother Bob has moved on too, not far from here and is settling well.

Looking forward to hearing all your news
Welcome home
Carole

Hello,

Some good news this morning, Poppy came running back across the yard at 9ish this morning - so so pleased it was really quiet without her usual mischief  ;D Thanks for your words of encouragment.  I do think that she was shut in somewhere like you said Kate. 

Hope yours comes back Carole  :(  Do you have any piccies of the little ones yet? girls as well, fabulous  :-*

Keeping the pigs in mud is hard work! but I do love seeing them rolling in it & what a state they are when they get out - Brilliant!

Marley is still the boss & they all play together so lovely - i love watching their ears waggle when they run  :pig: :pig: :pig:

It's nice to be back
