Maudes cottage..
I know it’s a little small, but once the fire is out she will get an extension..and probably a boyfriend

Look no further Lion, Thea is on the case!

Dear Lion

I understand you have a weigh tub that is too small for your gorgeous chunky boarliness. Does your Slave not realise that this is not on? In fact it is in contravention of Rule Number 4, Sub-section 3, Paragraph 6 of "How to try to Avoid the Dreaded Weigh in" Guide.

You must insist on a larger weigh tub by wheaking really loudly and running around in different directions as quickly as possible so your Slave can't pick you up to weigh you. It's bad enough that we piggies have to suffer being weighed wheakly but to be squashed into a tub that is far too small is just wrong!

Yours hoping you get a larger weigh tub.

Dear Thea,
I apologise for the upset I may have caused By using a tub too small for Lions gorgeous chunky boarliness. Lion has taken your advice on board and slave has no choice but to find a larger tub.
Yours sincerely
Slave Hannah
 
Dear Slave Hannah
I'm very happy that my advice has been taken so seriously and that there has been a happy outcome for the lovely Lion. You really shouldn't have tried to squish all that lovely chonk of a boar into such a small tub you know.
Yours happy that this matter has now been settled.

Ugh I’ve just tested positive for the dreaded C’vid. Here come 7 days of being Poorly :td:

So thought I would cheer myself up by introducing all my other animals to this thread. :D

Firstly we have Fergus, We got Fergus as a rescue about a year and half ago. We don’t know much about him except he’s around 5 years old. And lived most of his life on a 2metre chain outside. He was owned by a farmer who was going to shot him as no longer wanted him. he was underweight and He was called Rex, but we gave him a new name for his new start in life. From the moment he got home he is the sweetest and most loving dog who all he wants in life is to be a good boy, He is awesome with all my other animals, he respects the chickens..as in, he is scared of them. He doesn’t look at the birds, He stays away from the horses and most importantly he doesn’t even look at the Guinea pigs! The day I bought him home and he went to just sniff the pigs cages I said ‘No’ and ever since then he hasn’t shown the slightest bit of interest.
We love him to bits!

I’ll post the next animals later!
 
Aw, lovely Fergus, I do remember when you got him, so looks so happy and living his best life with you and hubby.
Get well soon Hannah x
 
Thanks everyone!
Had a terrible fever in the night and legs that were extremely restless. Woke up with a headache and weary but nothing too bad.
Maude however, knowing both slaves have covid and are housebound decided to get hay poke and injure her eye:roll: I had a good look at it this morning but just couldn’t see anything in it to be making it sore, so I cleaned it and applied tear eye jel. But I’ve just had another look this afternoon and after a good dig around in her eye I located the piece of hay! Woohoo! Managed to pull it out without doing further damage. She has a cloudy spot so have applied antibiotic eye jel. She seemed instantly relived. I will keep a close eye on it to ensure it heals well.
She and the others have all celebrated with grass!

They do pick their times!
Good job you had the right stuff to treat Maude’s eye.
Look after yourselves and hope you both recover quickly
 
Had a busy day with the pigs yesterday!
After a doctors appointment I went to go and meet new piggy, Henry at the Ballarat Animal shelter. Bought him straight home with me, quickly cleaned out Maudes cage so I could add an extension on the side for potential husboar Henry. While cleaning out I could hear a raspy breathing sound from the ‘big pigs’ noticed in was Opal. My partner also heard this noise about a week ago but couldn’t decide who it was coming from. Annoyingly I’d ran out of baytril so phoned the nearby vet and got her booked in for an appointment in half hours time.
She’s eating well, acting fine and has no discharge. Vet listened to her lungs etc which all sounded good. Unsure as to why she’s occasionally making this rasping breathing. We’ve put her on a course of antibiotics in the hope whatever it is clears up. Anyone have any ideas when there is no other obvious signs of pneumonia/cold?
Oh and when I got home we had to rescue a starling out of the chimney in the pig room! Busy day!

Ah and last week I found Emily with hay poke! Very fresh and easily removed, a little bit of oitment and her eye way fine, phew!

Today, after work I cleaned out the rest of the cages, and gave everyone a little spruce up and weigh.

‘Hopeful’ boy, Henry.A6CA1703-0877-4BC4-81CC-13674F9B8A06.webp

Congratulations on the new addition to the herd. I hope Henry settles in successfully. He is indeed a handsome chap

What is with my guys and haypoke!?!
Noticed Maude had a watery eye tonight, upon investigation out pops a grass seed!
Have washed it out with colloidal silver and applied antibiotic eye jel.
Goodness me pigs!

Hope Maude recovers from the hay seed x
 
This thread made me feel all happy inside! 🥰. Bless you for caring about the wee piggies! ❤️

Maudes eye healed fine..

Last night EMILY got hay in her EYE AGAIN!
What is with my pigs and their eyeballs! :hmm:

Can someone have a word with these attention seeking ladies of mine?! :eek:

But slave… :blink: any attention is good attention!

I hope Emily’s eye gets better soon.
 
I have had several pigs who never got a hay poke and others who got them regularly. It’s just a lottery. To keep us on our highest alert levels and make sure we never get to stop worrying about them 😂
