Adult Guinea Pig
................a piggie that chose you?
Until this week I have never had a pig that chose me and not the other way around but JJ has changed that! I love all my pigs but it has always been a case of me picking them or them ending up with me by default as they are not suitable for rehoming after coming in for fostering.
JJ is a different story! From when I first arrived at Thistle he would be up at the bars the moment I went in to the shed. He would get really cross if I didn't go over and talk to him. You can see in to the pig shed from the kitchen window at Thistle and every single time I looked out I could see his little face looking right back at me. It took me a long time to make up my mind to have him as I wasn't out to have any more pigs but in the end I knew I would always regret leaving him behind. I think what swung it for me is when he decided to keep on pulling my jumper into his cage when I was clipping claws in the shed! If he wanted me that much I just had to have him!
I shall let Beks explain how the name came about though - people think I am carzy enough already!
