I write this as a nearly married boar. Yep, it's really happened. I have not one but two glorious ladies that I could touch (if only they would let me). I don't know yet if I'm going to like being followed by a nose trying to sniff my bottom or forced awake while I'm trying to catch up on some sleep but I'm happier than I've been for a while.
The hooman said I need to be honest about the bonding process. I sat at Coseley Rescue in the bonding pen frozen from the stress of travel, well with the occasional movement of my whiskers to be precise. This was despite having Audrey's niece in with me. The hooman decided that based on the fact that Cass (her new name) was totally fine with me, we could take her home. It was then the oldies turn. They couldn't choose between two sows, so the hooman picked Mel and we all came home.
Normally after travelling I would stay stressed for probably 48 hours, but with Cass to impress, I've had to show my best side. She's rather feisty, and like her aunt, has a lot to say and I mean a lot.
Things next door were not going so well. Jazz was stalking Mel and Mags was chattering her teeth at Mel despite Mel showing no aggression. When the oldies then tag teamed to try and pincer Mel between them, the hooman had enough. A new bonding pen was set up and Mel joined Cass and I. Obviously, I'm over the moon about having Mel too. Now I just need one of them to let me do "my thing" so we can be properly married...........
