Gorgeous girl. So pleased to hear she is doing so well, it's all down to the fantastic care she has had. Your piggies are so lucky to have you and piggy daddy to look after them.

Her abscess wound is totally healed up too, just a little white scar now! But for some reason she's started growing a bit of fur all round where the abscess was, she has a very fuzzy neck, to match her fuzzy nose and bum and feet

She does love her daddy, she still gets a bit nervous when I hold her in case she gets a saline shower and a sticky honey neck! She happily takes food from my hand through the cage bars though, at feeding time I always take a few extra bits of veg to feed her while I'm making up the food dishes

Tallulah you really are a gorgeous girl.

She's like Nora Batty (or should that be Nora Bat-Hippo?) with her wrinkled stockings!

She's definitely ready for a friend! She didnt want to go home after today's playpen time, she was popcorning around following Theo and Puggle... we're all set for a wedding next week I hope!
Bless her. Let's hope love is in the air x

Hyperactive enthusiasm is definitely in the air, lets hope it can be focused on love because she's a tricky little thing and quite opinionated! But she's definitely learning how to be a guinea pig, what to say, what to do, what to expect the other piggies to do... I think she left her mum and auntie very early (6 weeks?) and is having to learn all this stuff from scratch, but she's trying very hard and watching the big pigs to get some tips!
