Merab's Herd

[VickiA]

Micah still clearly has his masculine instincts!

 

[Merab]

He’s very conscientious about his husboar duties !
Good thing there’s no wild oats available to be sown !

 

[Viennese Furbabies]

Good boy Micah!
That's the spirit!
Wheeks from Odi

 

[Merab]

Look mummy - I’m helping you. I took the hay out of the hay bag for you.


Micah - that was fresh hay. I’ve just cleaned that part of your cage.


It’s hard work having the cage cleaned and being mauled by the slave.

( piggies health checked - all is fine ! )

My ice pod !

Just doing what piggies do

 

[Merab]

Having lost Naomi so unexpectedly and knowing that with retirement looming we
want (? ) to end the piggy cycle after we lose Micah & Ruth I started browsing through old photos and creating my own Rainbow Parade album.
It’s lovely to remember each piggy, their own unique characters and the joy they brought.

I thought I would share some of the pics here. First - the piggies of childhood.

Titus. He and his identical brother, Philemon, were my first piggies as an adult.



Tamar and her daughter Merab came when Philemon had to be pts due to a brain tumour.
Tamar died very suddenly one evening leaving Merab and Titus.

Following Titus’ death Keziah and Jemimah came and a small herd was born.

 

[Merab]

Following Keziah’s death Priscilla and Phoebe joined the herd



And finally, Naomi came with her daughter Ruth to join Priscilla and Micah.
Her sudden death a few weeks ago completes the Rainbow Parade - for now.

What gorgeous piggies you have had in your life.
It's lovely to look back at piggy photos sometimes, they bring back so many memories.

 

[weepweeps]

Lovely piggies and lots of happy memories.

 

[Roselina]

That’s so lovely to see your beloved piggies
They leave little paw prints on our hearts and wonderful memories
Thank you for sharing your piggy journey

If Titus and Philemon were identical, how do you know that the one in your pigture is Titus, not Philemon?

 

[Wheekallweek]

What gorgeous, happy, lucky piggies, every single one

 

[Merab]

If Titus and Philemon were identical, how do you know that the one in your pigture is Titus, not Philemon?

Because Philemon had died when that photo was taken

 

[Merab]

The serious business of stuffing themselves with hay after the trauma of health checks and cage cleaning.
Micah was not impressed by the check of his boy bits but it must have been more comfortable when I removed the hay he was storing

 

[Betsy]

You gotta love a boar!

 

[Merab]

After breakfast chilling out

She was sound asleep

 

[Merab]

Yummy

We had a bit of banana today

 

[Merab]

We really like this new hay - it’s very yummy.
( Ings hay from the Hay & Straw company)


Look mummy - I squeezed Ruth out of the tunnel

I went to see what all the noise was to find Ruth expressing her displeasure at Micah sitting on top of the tunnel she was napping in !

That's right Ruth you complain as much as you want!

 

[Roselina]

Ah sweet moments in the life of Ruth and Micah

 

[Viennese Furbabies]

Micah, where are your manners?

Wait ... I know the answer to this question.

 

[VickiA]

Oh Micah - you’re certainly no gentleboar!

 

[Merab]

Ruth’s revenge !

Micah was sound asleep in the tunnel when Ruth decided to settle herself on top.
Exit one bemused and sleepy boar

Veggie time - this brought them both out of their hay piles.
It’s been fun today watching the hay piles moving around the cage.
They love the new hay.

Micah has been off his painkillers for a couple of weeks now and is fine. Vet was happy that he’s gaining weight again. It was probably a pulled muscle or a sprain cause by his over enthusiasm with Ruth.
I’m relieved it’s not arthritis
We decided he’s also the reason she has an occasional squinty eye - he’s an inveterate eye licker.

 

[Merab]

A good husboar always watches out for his wife

 

[Viennese Furbabies]

Ruth looks very comfy.
Good boy Micah!

 

[Wheekallweek]

Aw precious babies! They look so comfy and happy
