I've only had Oakley 5 days, he is in a quarantine period as he came with a bald patch which I suspect is mites! He looks to have been an lone piggy all of his life but yeah I'm thinking of getting him into the dating scene and no please don't encourage me, that's why I ended it with "so far"

Don't I know it first it was.......

"Oh we will have 2 piggies"

That then turned into .......

"Awww look at these baby ones up for adoption, 4 isn't much more!"

Then....

"Yes I will foster them for you no problem, awwww look at their cute little faces I can't give them up, besides I throw veg away that's a waste!"

Not so long ago.....

"Awwww I saw this really sad piggy in p@h adoption, I can't leave him there"

Guess what's next..............

Yup Oakley needs a friend!

 

[VickiA]

You are so owned by piggies

 

[Galaxy&nibbles]

I'm definitely not alone then! I think I'm just going to "go with it" way easier then fighting it

So are you getting them anyway? I told hubby about Oakley and he had exactly the same reaction but I just did it anyway! And now he doesn't want to rehome Oakley his gotten attached too him so now I need a friend for him!

This is my problem at the mo! Lol. I have 9 and want to adopt another 2 boys from my local shelter, one of them has a damaged spine as he was dropped so needs a little extra tlc. My hubby is having none of it, and rightly so has said there are always going to be piggies needing a home and I can't take them all. I agree, but also think we have room for one more cage and I don't think an extra two will be much more work and the shelter have told me they will find it very hard to rehome them as most people seem to want perfect piggies with no issues. Don't know whether to keep trying to get him to change his mind or just go ahead and bring them home lol x

Awww poor piggies! My hubby said exactly the same about there always been piggies that need a good home and I can't save everyone of them, my response to that was "well I can give a loving home too piggies while I've got floor space and time to give them a home they have never had" I know it's impossible for me too save every single one of them but sometimes certain piggies just tug on my heart strings, with me lately it's the ones that will find it hard to find a home like my new black piggies apparently nobody wants those? And you know the story with Oakley! Now I'm off dating Oakley actually with hubbys permission as he loves Oakley! I would say to you follow your heart have another chat with hubby, I basically said to mine I respect your opinion and I love you but I am my own person and I will do what I feel is best, next day Oakley was mine lol xx

Awe I'm so happy Oakley is going to get a little friend .
I understand his point as he loves going away and the more animals we have the harder it is to get them all minded. In reality though we only get away maybe two weeks a year max and for the other 50 weeks I have my piggies! Also I have Crohn's disease so there is always the possibility of me needing to go into hospital occasionally if I have a bad flare up, and so he is left looking after the two girls, two dogs, and piggies all while working full time himself....this happens very rarely though thankfully. And then there's the vet bills if anything goes wrong. I love them so much thought and really enjoy looking after them. I had absolutely no intention of getting anymore, but I'd really like to give these wee guys a chance to have a happy life. The wee man that was dropped has been in pain the last year without any form of pain relief . When he was brought in he was impacted with poop the size of a golf ball and was completely dragging his legs. The vet says because of his injury and dragging his back legs he has developed arthritis and his bum muscles are all loose due to restricted movement. Once he was put on pain relief he started walking again...pretty well actually, and is pooping better.
It's funny because when I went up to visit them there was another little guy in. He was very badly treated. He is 2 and looks like he is 4 months. He's so skinny. She said after the vet checked him over and put him down he rolled into a ball and was looking at them like "please don't hurt me". He has kidney problems now because of how he has been living. I was told he probably won't live a very long life . This little guy really tugged at my heart strings. I just wanted to take him home and cuddle him and let him live his short life in happiness and let him know that some of us humans are actually nice! I'd be tempted to take him instead as there was really something about him that made me melt, but then I think if I take the other two then I'm helping 2. Oh I don't know! Lol X

The top and bottom pic are the pair, the black one is the one with spinal damage.
Pic in the middle of the other wee man I completely fell in love with! X

 

[Anarchybmc]

@Laura mason awww that black piggy looks just like my Marley! I can see why your so torn Hun I would be so tempted too take them in but only if you can cope with everything else etc my friend has chrohn's so I know how bad that can get! But honestly if you feel that you could do it then have another chat with your hubby, explain how much they mean too you and that it will be the last (for a while ) I am a bad influence though I'd just keep adopting if I could Oakley has got a date with Jeremy so hopefully that will work out well paws crossed! Let me know how your dilemma works out!x

Thank you I will. I will keep all my fingers and toes crossed and tell the piggies and dogs to keep their paws crossed too Lol. When are they dating? Unfortunately I can't take all 3 as I only have room for one more cage. Would you go for the two or for the wee man who appears to have had one of the worst starts to life and possibly not a very long future? I'm completely torn X

We are going up on Saturday so finger/paws and anything else we can find are firmly crossed

Oh gosh that's such a tough decision too make, I would prob end up taking them all knowing me, but if I'm totally honest I would take the one that has had the worst life and let him know what a good piggy life is For how ever long he has got left, But again even I'm torn as they all deserve a good life I think you know deep down which you really want to help but probably feel guilty for leaving the other two? Either way there will be 1 or 2 piggies that will have a fab home with you!xx

Yeah, the little guy tugged on my heart strings more than the other two, but I would feel bad as I initially had expressed my interest in the other two. I would also feel bad leaving them two behind as I know they may not get a home anytime soon. If I had the room for another cage I would take all 3. The only other way would be to close off part of the boys cage for the wee man but that would leave them in a 2x6 instead of a 2x9 which I'm not sure would be a good idea, although I guess depending how long the wee man has left may not be for that long? Please someone make the decision for me! Lol x

Lol I feel for you I really do, they all obviously mean a lot too you

I personally wouldn't take cage space away from your piggies as in my experience they do tend to get used to the space, but again that's your choice. How about if I catch the ferry over and take them off you

Logic says have the pair, heart says have the poor iccle one that's had no life. Have you discussed it with hubby yet? What does he say?

 

[Laura mason]

Not yet. We are going camping on Sunday for 5 days so I won't be getting any until after we come back as that will be the last of the holidays this year, so I was planning on broaching the subject again then. He has said no to all of my piggies and then eventually came round....or another couple have magically appeared lol. However for the new one/ones I need a new cage and am wanting to build a white wooden one with Perspex front so am going to need his help. Keep your fingers crossed he comes around...or I learn how to build the cage myself lol X

Ive just said this....blah blah blah
....waiting on reply....he's looking at his phone....oh wait he looked up.....hand on forehead....oh crap he's shaking his head...this doesn't look good...oh but wait there is a kind of smile....maybe I'm imagening it....no defiantly looks like a slight smile....don't know if he's smiling at me or his phone tho....ok think it's at his phone....yep it's his phone....hasn't heard a bloody word I've said Lmao
Would something like that do? Hee Hee.

You see that's what I would love....piggies in my living room! But right now that ain't an option with the dogs.
What are you planning on using to build yours? X

Ok maybe not blow by blow but saying that if that was the situation I would take advantage of it and say "well I did tell you and you smiled so I took that as a yes"

What pooches do you have? Could you not make the cages waist height? We are constructing ours at the mo it's been a long journey chopping and changing designs ours are made from wood and Perspex. Although we are having too rehash Kim's & murrays design as at the time we didn't have Bertie & Marley oh and then there's Oakley & ? Xx

Lol, yeah I'm planning on using an ikea table top for the base with shelving as the sides. Gonna put legs with wheels on it so I can move it to get access to my window. Where on earth do u fit all your cages?
I have a tibetan terrier and a Bichon frise. My husband is allergic to most dogs so had to get ones that didn't cast. They are now 12 and 10 so getting on a bit...although my oldest tosca (Bichon) thinks she is still a pup and I find her randomly on my kitchen table or worktop! I still can't figure out how she gets into the worktop....unless Ollie (the tibetan) gives her a piggie back! Ollie isn't as agile however he thinks he's a Chihuahua and tries to fit into small spaces...always getting stuck...or sits on my 2 year olds knee lol.
Well after I messaged you last night the conversation somehow came up and again he said no. I then mentioned the other wee guy and he he smiled...I knew this was a good sign so kept going. In the end he said maybe (with a big smile)....which I know means yes....he just wants to drag it out a little longer lol . Yay . I feel really bad about the other two tho .

Thank you for putting up with me lol X
