fingers crossed
« on: January 10, 2012, 02:18:37 pm »
our dorothy is looking rather tubby at the moment so we are crossing our fingers she is preggers. i can feel her ribs and spine but she is looking very voluptuous.
she was ai-ed on 30 oct, then been with boar since dec 4th.
im guessing the ai worked tho i wasnt optimistic at the time as some went on the floor.
she wouldnt be showing after just 4 weeks surely?
very excited so just had to share that!!!

Everything crossed for Dorothy, my Bob is in with 2 of my girls at the moment and they are in season, I assume Bob was covering 1 of them last night as I herd my OH shouting "Go on my son". Bob's first litter is due by the end of the week.  Have had Bob and Porsche since they were 8 weeks and they are 16 & 17 months now and going to be parents, it is soooooo exciting. :thumbsup:

How quickly excitement can turn into heartache, I had my company go down in 2010 due to the re session and the repercussions of it means I have to sell my Barn and field which means I have to sell my pigs and chickens so my lovely babies that I am still waiting for have to go so does the mother (Porcsha)  and my lovely Bob I am finding things very upsetting at the moment :'(

It is, I go and sit with Bob wondering what the hell I am going to do with him, if I sold him I would be worried that he wasn't being looked after properly, and my girls were going to be my next step with pigs breeding my own and having little Bob's running around the place, my eldest son is not able to go out there as he gets to upset.  I have had to have horses put down before but this is far worse.
