How are Velvet’s eyes today?

The right eye has healed up nicely. The left eye is not watering anymore and she isn't squinting so I must have got all of the hayfrond and seeds out.

She's fine in herself which is good. She now runs away as soon as I open the hutch door so that I have to play a game of "Catch me if you can" before she finally gives in and lets me pick her up.
 
Well trust me to decide to give my piggies their weekly health check just as it started to snow! :doh: I am happy to say all of the passed with flying colours. All of them had put on weight too apart from Meg and Velvet and that was only a full/empty bladder type weight loss. I had to cover them up with an old tea towel whilst transporting them outside to inside and then back out again so they wouldn't get wet. I've been meaning to do it most of the week but what with one thing and another I hadn't got around to it. I think I need one of these!

My grandad had one of these :)
 
I'm away tonight off up to Essex for a wedding. My piggies ARE NOT HAPPY. I have had to confine them to the top of the hutch, take out their new favourite toy/hidey and replace it with Mr Sharkey who they usually only see in the Summer cost he i is too big for the hutch. I have to try and keep them warm tonight without their snugglesafes which is the reason why they are all at the top of the hutch. Mr Sharkey can sleep all 5 if necessary and I have stuffed the top of the hutch with so much hay I can't even see that I have piggies in there. I have given the clean fleecy snuggle tubes too. My neighbour is coming in to check on them and give them some veg so I know they will be looked after but it is up to me to make sure they are warm enough.

Thanks Eileen I do my best to look after them.

I just feel sorry for all the forgotten piggies left in a grotty hutch at the bottom of the garden freezing in this weather.
 
It will not hurt your diet !just get straight back on slimming world monday. i have outside piggies as well as inside piggies !i heat up 10 heat pads a night!and hay one bale is lasting 10 days ! trying to find farm bales near me is becoming increasingly difficult!you enjoy your evening.:tu::tu:
 
Blimey that's a lot of hay! 2 bales of hay lasts me around 4-6 weeks I desperately need more this week. I hope the farm still has some!
 
It was very good thanks. It was lovely seeing all my family in Essex. I love to see my Uncle he is "still going" (his words) despite being 90 and having had 3 heart attacks, a heart valve replacement and a hip done! He has a good sense of humour as his parting words were "I'll see you at my funeral":yikes:
 
Glad you had a good time Jackie!

That sperm rod is something else! :yikes:
 
Ouch poor Christian! Theo says he should stick to eating applewood rather than chasing ladies, Theo is a bit traumatised today because boss lady Clover is in season and was demanding his attentions and he just isnt tall enough to climb on her enormous bum and she got very cross about it! He tried very hard but just couldnt reach bless him :)
