I wanted to weigh Lily-Pig and Winter (not positive on that name yet) this morning and used the opportunity to take some pictures of them outside of their cube enclosure.

First though here is Lily (AKA hedge pig) on the night that I found her, waiting for me to put together something more suitable than the rabbit carrier that came with Poe.

And now from today:

Lily looking rather portly! Gosh, I didn't realize how huge she looked in this picture! :o

"What? You got more?"


A few more in the next post.
 
And of course a series of failed attempts to get a picture of Winter's blue eyes.

Maybe a tiny bit? You can see her tattered little ears though. I'm not sure if the darkness on the ends is pigment or scarring.

Nope! Hiding behind Lily's butt!

"Fine. Are you happy now?"

Actually they're not that dark at all. More of a pale blue. Next time I'll try natural light and see if that works.

Today Lily was 470g, which is actually quite an increase! I weighed her over the weekend and she was 430g, and 370g before that. Winter was still at 215g, but I've only had her a few days. I'm going to keep a close eye on her since she's either really young or runty or both.

Anyway, those are the girls! x)
 
they are beautiful. lily-pig reminds me of maisie, except maisie's little ginger patch is on the side of her face, not her body. x)x)x)
 
They are both very pretty!

I like winter as a name, but perhaps you'd prefer another flower name like Iris or Morning Glory - both plants come in versions that have white and blue on the same flower?
 
Gorgeous x)
My first rescue sow is white with pale blue eyes and looks as though she has eyeliner on drool She gets away with murder being sooo pretty despite being a bossy little madam :))
 
Beautiful little girls x) So glad Lily found her way to you and Winter has joined her. Looking forward to hearing and seeing lots more of them in the future.
 
Thank you all for the warm welcome! xoxo

Maise sounds gorgeous, and I think Winter is going to turn into a little madam too. :))

I was actually determined to give Lily's friend a flower name. I liked Violet and Primrose best. But as it turns out the little one is neither of those. Nor is she a Laurel, an Amaryllis, a Lotus, a Daisy, or any of the other dozens of flower names I tried to toss at her. Next I tried classical names. A Sophia, an Anna, Eleanor, Elena, Cora...? Nope, none of those either. I really liked Evelyn, and I could call her Evie, but she's rather too bold and spunky for anything sweet! Winter was the only name that sort of stuck, so we'll run with it for now. rolleyes
