Special little man, I had such a massive soft spot for him, such a gorgeous and brave boy :luv: :luv: :luv:
Sending you extra huge ginormous hugs and hope you’re ok xx
 
Hope everyone has had a lovely few days!

We have finally recovered from the Flu here. I’ve not had a virus like that for a while. Took a good week to get functioning again!

We are all excited to welcome 2023, and another year of adventures.

Hope everyone has had a lovely break, lots of food and family time 💖
 
Hello!

Apologies, I’ve not been on here for a few weeks. We are just crazy busy. Business is really busy, and my photography business has really taken off, so I’m just about squeezing it all in around work at the college.

Piggies are doing great! My little boar trio (Thor, Rufus and Merlin) are still getting along 🥰
Boris and Jacob are also doing really well! Everyone had their houses extended. Now that I have a 3 and a 2, I’ve been able to divide the room so they have just over half a room for each group.

Koda is going great. He’s been on lots of adventures. He has his 4th birthday coming up, so going to plan him a nice day out somewhere new 💕

Woody is also doing great. He visited a specialist vet last month (specialises in sports horses) as he needed some steroid injections into his stifle joints to keep him working and sound. He is 15 this year and has had quite the competitive career with his show jumping and dressage; so some joint arthritis is to be expected. We are seeing arthritis more and more in young horses, so he’s doing very well at 15. Anyway, we are now back training, he has a check up next week and then (fingers crossed) it’s time to get out competing again. He’s really stepping up the dressage levels now 💕

We hope all of our forum friends are well! Sorry for anything we’ve missed.
Will hopefully get a bit of time to grab a cup of tea and catch up on some forum posts 😊

Aw that lovely to see you all! Look at little Merlin, he was such a tiny scrap and now he is a big burly boar 😆 Hope Woody’s injections work well, he is amazing for 15 And Koda enjoying his days out. Glad your photography business is doing so well x
 
Thank you all for your lovely comments!

Yes, little Merlin is doing very well indeed. He’s a confident little piggy, and first one over at veggie time. He’s quite a submissive character with his uncle boars. He and Rufus are quite submissive, leaving Thor in charge. Thor is a kind boss though, and besides moving the other two out of his way, I’ve never seen aggression. He’s had many friends over the years. The dynamics work really well with these three. I’m so pleased with how well they get along 🥰

And Merlin has really grown 💕
They are always in the hay pile! That’s why all the pics are hay pics 😂

Merlin is a sweetie! :luv:
He has been very submissive with his dad and - until the evening before his trip to meet Thor - has not ever rumbled at any sows. The whole family is on the smaller side with Modron the largest at around kilo.

His two half-brothers are booked in for the snip at the Cat&Rabbit on Monday; they are turning 4 months old today. Both are now over 700g. Bron is largest and Bran the smallest (but by far the most dominant one) of the three boys. It's the earliest possible date/age the clinic would do it. Please keep your fingers crossed!
