Eriathwens piggies

Did Bill and Ted enjoy them?
Leonards slowly going off his veggies, so he's getting topped up with grass (read: spoiled child being pandered to! XD) but he's worth it. Plus I get to see his derpy faces!

Yes Bill rather likes the radish, were as Ted ate the leaves. They had a nice salad of radish, a little bit of apple, a lettuce leaf and a disc of cucumber each for tea tonight.
Leonard is enjoying that grass, he is such a gorgeous colour, such a lovely cream colour, lovely x
 
I figured instead of pairs or singles for floor time, i'd let the whole herd have a run around together for a bit...boy was that a mistake, absolute chaos! (as the bluury pictures probably show.. 😂 Delilah had the time of her life though, popcorning away, bless her.
My attempts to get them to line up for a picture did not go down well! They seemed really interested in the other piggies, especially Panda.

Shelly decided she wanted to do some face painting with her pepper this evening.. explains the irritated chin she's had for the last few days! Looks like she's going to need wiping after veggies from now on which she isn't thrilled about! :xd: :doh:

We had a false alarm this morning, thankfully! I went up to do Leonard's Calpol to find him curled up like a kidney bean, he didn't move when I leaned over him to check he was still breathing, nor did he wake up when I managed to grab a picture after deciding he was just asleep! A couple of shakes of his Calpol bottle later and he was climbing the bars.
I'm taking it as a good sign his pain is being managed well if he's sleeping so deeply!

Thankyou!
With great difficulty haha, I sit up there quite often during the day to talk to the pigs so I'll sit and pick things off the carpet, it looks ok at a distance but there's a nice layer of piggy hair covering it XD
 
According to Facebook, today is Leonard and Shellys 3rd anniversary! I've sprained my wrist so they may not end up with a cake in the morning, but hopefully i'll manage something.
Of course the obligatory, awkward looking baby pictures! (Back when Shelly was 'Sheldon' before we realised the error!)
They are showing their age a lot more than normal piggies, being part cuy and satin carriers, poor Leonard with his osteodystrophy and Shellybean with her fatty lumps and cysts, but they still polish up nicely when needed and are the happiest little beans.

They've grown into such beautiful piggies.

So here are the birthday beans with their cakes! Leonard got his own personal one because he isnt allowed some of the ingredients in the others, mostly the bran...too much phosphorus. Shelly had to share hers (and a second spare) with the other 9, seems to have gone down well considering it was a half hearted attempt with just my one good hand! I'm so proud of Leonard, this is his second milestone, first I wanted to get him to Christmas, when he reached that, I aimed for his birthday. Now we're aiming for his date of diagnosis which was the end of October :) He's doing so well bless him.

Happy belated aniversary Leonard and Shelly. Sorry I'm late, I've been away this week and am just catching up. XX
 
I hope you had a good week away Piggyminder! :)

Leonard's been a bit of a pain with veggies again so I've raided the garden and veggies out there for something to tempt him which seems to have done the trick. The corn leaves were especially well received.

This was Daisy yesterday... for the piggy who is bottom in rank she certainly always makes sure she's fed first haha!

Oh, corn leaves, how lovely. They are Bill and Ted’s absolute favourite, sadly ours are only about 3 inches at the moment so they will have to wait for a couple of months yet 😋
 
Thank you @Eriathwen I had a lovely time walking the Canals around Newport in Wales with my daughter, while the man slave pandered to the piggies.
I love the gorgeous photos of your piggies, especially that one of Daisy.
 
Seems I'm going to have to remove Pippin from the trio, she has been acutely bullying Bailey for a while now but I hoped if allowed to assert herself over her submissive she would eventually calm down. That hasn't been the case sadly and tonight I found bites on Bailey's rear end and ear, they're not severe bites but signs that things are escalating rather than getting better.
Bailey is already such a timid little thing anyway, this won't be helping. I'm not sure what I will end up doing with Pippin, whether she will go with the herd and hopefully not cause world war 3, have a trial separation and retry them together, find her another friend and hope she doesn't bully her or just have her next to the others on her own.. lots of options, some less desirable than others but still options.
 
Me and Leonard had a disagreement as to who would be removing the boar glue from his nose yesterday.. due to his insistence he was more than capable you may notice he is now sporting a rather bald nose :doh: I'm not entirely sure how he managed it but hopefully next time he will wait for me to go and get the coconut oil!

I've just weighed Leonard and he is currently 1212g! He's been doing so well lately and he's still his silly self. I've been trying to get a video of him getting into his carrier and shutting the door for ages and I finally got it 😂 he always makes me laugh, he's such a silly sausage.

 
What a clever boy. I wish my piggies would be so cooperative. Glad to see he is doing well. ❤️
 
The hairy babies got a haircut and a tidy up, I decided to leave them together to see if things would settle after poor Bailey got beaten up and *touches wood* there has been no more bite wounds on little B.. It's something I'll keep an eye on I think.
Leonard's still doing great, 1200g is his new normal, only 100g off his prime and 160g more than when he was first diagnosed!

Mr.Leonard always needs to be included Haha!
I had an anxiety dream come true today, I completely forgot I had given everybody a frozen water bottle, so I go up and suddenly have lots of black guinea pigs all over the place!
Shelly made me laugh, sitting looking at hers like "you're in my spot" just like her big bang theory namesake back when she was still Sheldon :xd:

Awwwwww :love: thanks for the updates! Love your piggies
 
I've started attending a 'cardiac rehabilitation' thing.. which is basically me being put to shame by a load of pensioners at a hospital gym thing. The result being I was too tired to chop veggies so the pigs got a lesson in sharing! Panda has no idea what that means and kept grabbing the carrots at one end and running off XD :doh:

Cardiac Rehabilitation sounds complicated, have you had surgery?

I’m loving your furries, so sweet :luv:
