Well I’ll start with the sorry! Seizures are an almost daily (or thrice daily some days!) occurrence atm so I’m not great coming on here atm (or replying on phone!), sorry guys! Nightmare new neighbours each side and police here all the time, barely getting proper sleep and stressed, (even bitten by one of their dogs last week!), so I’m blaming the trouble for my seizures!
I lay in bed thinking of you guys and your beautiful piglets and that I must come on, but with my wonky gang wiping out the bit of energy I’ve got I’m useless atm so sorry! :hug:

But right for the good news, which is rather late so another sorry, but better than bad news! :)) @YvonneBlue :D:D
Obviously my lovely Lolo was diagnosed with lymphoma a little while back, well it turns out like with my Luigi, that they want to prove Aunty Kim at C&R wrong! :D And stress me out too of course! :))

At our last visit a few weeks ago all but one of her swollen lymph nodes had pretty much gone! And she’d put on a bit more weight, so obviously no cancer there! 🥳:love: She’s still peeing blood on and off, so it looks like it was the original problem of her kidneys/bladder causing them to swell, but as she got a bit better so did they!
So she’s got her lump on her rib (just an old lady lump!) and her swollen lymph node in neck, is on metacam and Cystease daily (which she loves the oddball!) and I’m playing around with her diet atm to see if anything makes a difference with her pee but yay! Blooming chuffed is an understatement! :luv:
She says hi!

And so do the other naughties :)

Cleo has been very up and down and not well like her mum too (us girls are all falling apart!)! But a good few days and a happy girl today!

Hope everyone and everypig’s ok :) xx
 
As long as you're good (or...you know what I mean) please don't worry about not replying or being here. You come first!

And look at those lovely piggy faces, like butter wouldn't melt :wub: I thought I'd lost the goblins this morning, went into their room and nobody was where they usually were. I forgot I'd put their cups in last night with the Snugglesafes, turns out they were busy turfing each other out of the same one overnight (and leaving the other one untouched, as goblins do).

Thank you, hope you and your beautiful gang are all ok! :hug: x

Thanks so much 😊 Apart from the heart palpitations and hot and cold flushes I’m powering on! 😆 These lot won’t let me forget when it’s bang-on time for grub so as long as they’re happy I’m happy! :)

Most certainly does melt 😆 Aah so glad the gorgeous goblins are enjoying their beds, well bed :)) Even if they want to give you heart palpitations losing the naughty beggars! :)) Hope you’re all ok anyway:hug:x
 
I'm not allowed to forget I haven't fed them since 10 minutes ago either :)) I moved my PC back upstairs because I have to have a window open to vape and it gets too cold to do that downstairs when it's not summer, but it means walking out of my room to do anything gets them going and good grief those two can shriek. I forgot to grab a can of Pepsi on the last run and now I don't know if it's worth going back downstairs for it, lol.

Still off the smokes though!

Haha oh these piggy alarm clocks 🙉:)) I’m sure Cleo’s is turned up to twice the volume of the others though, maybe the goblins have that special quality too! :))
I bet you’re like me and a total pushover when those starved piglet calls start (even if it was ten mins after the last one!), I’m so blooming weak! :doh::xd: Definitely a good idea to take a carrier bag and gather all you can in one go! :))
 
I usually do, I just forgot to take it out of the fridge because my brain was like "find them food find them food FIND THEM FOOD". Or at least I think it was my brain, it might just have been what they were shrieking at me anyway. Mind you I get worried when they don't shriek, so... 🤷‍♂️
 
Glad to see you back! Sorry to hear you (&Cleo) have not been feeling to great but that is brilliant news about Lolo!
 
Glad to have you back, you are always missed. Such lovely news about Lolo. Always good to prove the vet wrong.

Sorry you have not been well and your neighbours sound like a nightmare. Hope things improve for you soon. Take care of yourself.😘
 
That’s lovely news about Lolo ! I’m so sorry you’re coping with illness and horrid neighbours. Our piggies help keep us going don’t they - 🥰
 
Hello. Sorry you are having so many seizures at the moment. Sending you healing vibes and hugs too 🤗.

Great piggy news. How awful to have such bad neighbours though. Did you report the dog bite?

How’s Daisy?
 
Thanks so much @rp1993 :hug:Hope the gorgeous pair are ok! 😘😘

Thank you. Yes definitely incredibly relieved @Claire W, she had me worried sick for weeks!

Thanks @YvonneBlue, nice it’s in a good way too and not Luigi’s surprise abscess one not long ago! :)) Neighbours are a total nightmare but things are calming down a bit now after complaints by people etc. Unfortunately the man next door’s nephew who lives with him has it in his head it was all me, so he’s been giving me a bit of abuse when he sees me, lovely! 😡🙈 Just trying to ignore him but stressful at times!
Thanks though, hoping life can get a bit calmer and back to normal soon!

Thanks @Roselina :) They are definitely my rock at the moment and getting me through the day, along with my little old cat (and fish and stick insects!). Think I’d go slightly insane without these guys to give me something to get out of bed for!

Thanks @weepweeps, need some proper hugs I must admit, not just poopy ones! :))
I didn’t report the dog bite, it happened last week and I didn’t need stitches or anything, although they have the (80kg!) dog out the front unsupervised off lead all the time so I probably should have. I think I would’ve got so much grief from the couple I thought with my stress atm it was best avoided 🤦‍♀️ Silly though, I have worried about if he got a child etc, he’s a bit of a scary dog at times! Here’s the mark I got, that was through my jumper thank god or would have been worse!

And Daisy is great thanks, thanks for asking! :) Her 16th birthday was on the 18th August, she got mega spoilt bless her! Loves pinching the little boxes I put by for the pigs, the teeniest box is apparently the comfiest! :))

That must have been so scary. Bet it hurt a lot too! One of the reasons I didn’t want to get another dog after Eddie was because of dog owners. They are the problem. Keep away from them if you can. I’d definitely report it. Just so if anything else happens with that dog there is already a record.

Daisy 😻😻😻.

A bit sore! He was stood next to the male owner, I let him sniff my shopping bag on the way past (full of pig veg!) and obviously he wasn’t impressed and just grabbed me, but only a bit of my arm and mainly jumper when he tugged so I was lucky! Yes they’ve got angry at people quite a few times now, when their dog chases people down the street (with their dog on a lead) going for them and they sit in the house! 🙄 Idiots! The lady is 8 months pregnant too, dread to think what could happen when the baby comes with the temperamental doggy! 🙈 But yes, definitely not the dog’s fault at all!
I’m staying out of his way now though as he’s decided I’m a good chew toy! :))
 
Lovely to see you again but sorry that your seizures have been so bad.
We missed you and it’s lovely to see the beautiful piggies and Daisy again.
Your health and well-being is more important than coming on here - look after yourself.
Hope you can get the neighbours sorted out.

Thanks so much Heather, nice to be back, it’s funny how much you miss being on here when you’re a daily forum fiend normally, my hands don’t know what to do with themselves! :))
Hopefully a bit back to normal soon, I was worrying it was my brain injury causing trouble with all my seizures but as it’s getting a bit better I’m a bit relieved I must admit, probably just heat, lack of sleep and stress! Thank you :)
Hope you and your gorgeous pair are ok :) x

Thanks so much :) Well Cleo needed her metacam and bisolven not long after my post that she was having a good day, but that’s temperamental little Cleo for you! And at least no nebulisers had to be pulled out at 1am like she normally does to me bless her! :)) Thanks a lot, hope you’re ok :) x

I am, thank you! Still missing my boys, just down to my bunny now!
 
So glad to hear Lolo is Ok.
Sorry you are having to deal with so much at the moment. Problem neighbours can be so stressful. I had some for 6 year's, who threatened sorts of things, even killing my pet chickens.
So you have my thoughts and prayers.
Sending you massive hugs.xx
 
Lovely to see you back again. Fantastic news about Lolo.
Just got back from Wales this evening with Red and Brillo, will catch up properly as soon as I've caught up on piggie washing!
