Haha, second thing I did after giving my mum and sister a hug was to go check the piggies and my god what a transformation. I have only been away for two and a half weeks and the change in my piggies is absolutely astonishing.

Sora, my sweet little baby boy has blossomed into an incredibly handsome young man and has doubled in size. Kalani, his sister, loks absolutely stunning and for a minute I thought she was her mother! Dinky Jenny is not so dinky anymore, but as she is two weeks or so younger than Sora and Kalani, she's definitely still the baby of the group. Ozzy has also grown a fair bit and is in need of another haircut; apparently I didn't trim enough off!

The best thing though is Tess. Tess is a Milhaven piggy (as are the other ones I've mentioned!) and when I adopted her she had just lost her little daughter and her sons obviously had to be taken from her when they were three weeks old. She had a new friend with her when I adopted her (who is also doing very well!) but her past definitely showed when you looked at her. I'm not totally sure of her background but I think she'd been bred from quite extensively and as such she needed extra food, love and attention. Well, two and a half weeks later I cannot believe that it's the same piggy I adopted. She's filled out (I could fit my fingers around her stomach almost, that's how thin she was), her hair that had to be cut off as she was matted has almost grown to the length where I need to start cutting it for her and her coat in general is just so much better looking than it was. She looks ten times better than she did and I honestly couldn't believe it.

I can't wait to get the camera out and get some decent pictures of them all. They are all GORGEOUS!

Awww, I'm so glad they are doing so well, its amazing how the babies grow isn't it?! :))

Poor Tess was seized by the RSPCA as part of a deprivation order and brought to us heavily pregnant. Poor mite had 4 babies and only two survived. She was so deperessed and really needed a settled home. I did say that she was still a little underweight, especially as most of our piggies are huge!, she just needed lots of TLC and a fantastic new forever home. I'm so pleased that she found it with you. :)

Cant wait to see pics of Tess and all the other piggies, Oh, and Sora always was a handsome young chap! drool
 
Oh how lovely to hear how much you missed and love your piggies. I cannot wait to see the photos. :)
 
Luckily tomorrow and Friday are both going to be nice days so I'll be getting everyone out in the runs and taking plenty of piccies! I need lots for when I go back to uni; what a lovely excuse to get the camera out! :)

Joanne, honestly, Sora is just so much more handsome now! He is going to be one chunky lad, that's for sure. He was lighter than Kalani when they came home, but now he is so much chunkier. Oh and his hair - so soft! x) They are all looking lovely! Flossie and Panda are now outside getting used to the sights, smells and sounds of the garden and other piggies and Flossie is being very brave and sitting at the front of the hutch watching the world go by. Hopefully we're that much closer to getting her fully settled so she'll be comfortable moving in with the herd in the future! I honestly can't thank you enough for letting me adopt all these piggies; they are so unbelievably precious! x)
