What made you happy today?

Basil coming over for a chin rub after floor time and back in the newly cleaned cage - as if so say, "mmm thanking you kindly ooman, I am liking this clean cage and new arrangement of luxury cardboard boxes. Most pleasing, keep up the good work, that is why today I grant you the honour of giving me a chin rub!" Followed by crazy zoomie time......
That has never happened in the 9 months we've had the boys🥰as it's always Pedro that likes a good old chin rub.
 
The rescue took in 2 sows this week who were being given away on Facebook. One was found to have a burst mammary tumour that my vets saw and operated on almost straight away. The piggy is now recovering with her friend and when she’s fully recovered they will be re-homed together in a 5* home.
I am blessed to have such caring & competent vets on my doorstep and although it’s been stressful I’m glad she and her friend were surrendered when they were.

I got tearful as I had mine. It’s actually quite an emotional moment, isn’t it?

It really is. It was a big vaccination centre & the lady who did mine had done 68 so far on her shift, & I really felt that that was 68 jabs closer to getting us out of this dreadful situation.
 
I work from home during the pandemic while my partner is considered a key retail worker so is out a lot, ever since we got our gorgeous boys I get daily messages from him on his lunch break asking “how are my boys?” before he’s even asked me how I am, now on the one hand, how dare he, but on the other I’m so glad that he loves our babies as much as I do considering he has never been a piggie dad before 😍 thats made me happy everyday this week. (Also Kuzco came out of his shell a lot today and has been doing full on zoomies through his tunnel!)

Gotta love watching zoomies. Happy piggies make happy owners :luv:
 
I got rhubarb from my grandmas house. She grows a full bed or rhubarb each year and there's always so much she could never eat it all herself but takes great pride in handing it out to anyone who comes anywhere near her house. With covid she can't have visitors so most of it rotted away last year although she got rid of some just leaving a basket of it by the road for people to take but as I don't live nearby I went a whole summer with no rhubarb! My dad had to go round to help her with something yesterday and he brought back some rhubarb for me! Yum yum. Rhubarb and icecream just reminds me of summers at my grandma's house and makes me miss her more.

I caved in Saturday and bought new fleece when I saw that it was on sale. I limited myself to 4 different fleece. Now I just need to clear the dining room table so I can sew.... I'm most excited about the parrot fleece! :love:

They are all gorgeous but I love the dragons the most.
What are you planning to sew with them?

I am attempting a cardigan tonight, but my material is no where near as cool as yours :love:

Thank you! I'm planning on making new fleece liners and pee pads for the piggies. If I find time, I would love to make some cuddle cups and donate them to my local rescue. My rescue just got a physical location and they plan on selling items there to help support their cause.

A cardigan sounds fantastic! I don't have the crafty know how to make one or the time. You will have to post a picture in the craft thread and show it off when you are done.
