and what a fantastic dad he is....

When these little guys came to live with me after their mummy died when they were two weeks old, Dixie, stepped in to be a mummy and a daddy to them. The previous week Dixie had lost his brother Pixie and was feeling very sad. However, with three new little sons to look after he couldn't feel sad for too long. He is doing such a great job and the boys cuddle up to him when they sleep.

AWWWW - Dixie even looks like he could be their dad! What lovely pictures and what a heartwarming story.

Are you going to keep them together?
 
They're all so cute! And what a fantastic dad Dixie is! :)
 
Aw, bless! That is adorable!

What a fantastic dad he is :)
That has to be the sweetest thing in the world. My eyes were welling up. That really is just so adorable. xx>>>

Jake, in particular, looks very like his dad. I am hoping to keep them together. They are now 9 weeks old and still get on really well. Dixie is very loving but if they start getting silly, he soon puts them in their place! :))

Reese, George and Jake also have a sister called Lola, who lives with Cherry.
 
They are sooo sooo sweet just asking to be cuddled. They are so lucky to have such a great dad.
 
I love that 1st pic where he looks like a hen with his brood & omg how much have they grown!

He's such a lovely daddy to them x)
 
What super pictures, and it's such a lovely story. Niki's right about him looking like a mother hen with babies.
 
that is so sweet. he looks such a gentle and loving pig. they are all so gorgeous! x)x)x)
 
I don't know whether it's because they lost their mum so early on, but the boys are so cuddly and just want to attach themselves to Dixie whenever they can. He's happy for them to be like that though which is so lovely to see.

I will post some pics of Lola and Cherry tonight.
