Haven't been around for a while after Corly's death. Kinda hit me quite hard again, I don't expect it to get easier but it seems to differ per pig, Africa I hardly cried for but Daniel thinks I cried a lot before he died which might have helped me accept it since it took him a year to die tbh.

Anyways, I've 4 pigs now, Zambi, Zuki, Callis and Kenya. They're all well, fit and fat :) although I think Kenya is more muscles! Lol

I started work experience but have finished now and have started a ECDL course at college to try and help me have more possiblies in the job market.

I passed my psychology a level with a C also which was completely unexpected since first time I took the exam my mom nearly died and second time Mali then Corly died... I just gave up, yet past :S lol

I properly have new pictures of them which I'll root out later and add to this thread. <3 xx
 
Hey, nice to see you back - noticed you'd not been on for a time :)p
Well done on your work experience and the course, anything like that makes you feel good about yourself :) The ECDL one is recommended and employers like people to have this - I enrolled to do it last year but was then offered a job :{
Grief affects us all differently and only us piggy lovers understand how someone feels when we lose one and I hate people who say 'it's only a pig for gods sake' :)>>>
Hope you are feeling a bit better and look forward to seeing you around on here x>>
 
Lovely to see you back. I am so sorry for your loss. It must be so painful. I have yet for that to happen and can tell you I am dreading it so much. Well done on your studies too. :)
 
I tried to adopt 2 females from someone on freecycle who was giving them away with a large cage but I wasn't fast enough and I felt bad as they could of gone to anyone really. I'm wanting to have female nexts btw...

I might transfer to rats though as I've always wanted one.

I have my pigs in competition in weight lol, Kenya is now the heaviest at 1245g, Zambi was in the lead but since being paired up he's not getting all his food like he once did and has lost about 100g's in the last half a year or more. 1101g No signs of illness so I think it's because he has to share food LOL, Zuki is still lowest at 1075g (he was just under 900g or just over when I adopted him) and my little fat cally is 1125g lol he's a special one.

Scared me the other day as I noticed his right eye looked more bulged than his left and he was a bit quite, but then he peed on me and seems normal again LOL

You're just being very cautious and a great piggy mummy :)) Ever since our Harley had his bladder stone, we've (well, I've) become sooo paranoid to the extent of obsessive with them mallethead
Good luck in finding your girlies, there must be plenty of needy ones out there and we would always be happy to collect and drop off for you if need transport :)
 
I need to get another cage, I sold the two I had so I wouldn't get anymore lol! I'm hoping 'adopt' some for free and to get a cage for free so it may take some time to come across that sort of oppitunity. I just can't ask my boyfriend to pay more out than he has for them and being on job seekers, I can usually only go halves, like I buy the hay and pay half the vet fees, where he paid for the pigs 'donation' fees, emergency vet fees and bedding/food. lol he doesn't mind, he's loves them and earns around 110% more than me. x
 
Good to have you back. Great news about your exam results. Love your profile pic btw. :)
Hope your mum's ok too.

Zambi's photo is a bit blurred because he doesn't know how to stay still or not pee on me LOL
