Sadly I had to take leave of Maelog on Saturday. Maelog (whose Welsh Tribe name means “Battle Prince”) was 6-7 years old and much beloved by his ladies. Yet another of my oldies gone… 
It is 4 years to the month that Mallow and his beloved Rosa arrived as temporary fosters for The Excellent Adventure Sanctuary to make space for an emergency intake. They went back to the Sanctuary for a couple of months in early summer, but came back again and stayed for good. I formally adopted Maelog at Christmas 2015.
Here is a video of Maelog's and Rhosyn's first big zooming session on the living room floor:
As a permanent foster Maelog took over the just vacated slot as husboar to my then Elderlies group of older and frail Tribe sows for whom the big group had become a bit too much.
A mountaineering exploration of the carriers...
When Rhosyn’s unexpected passing and a quick succession of my old ladies joining her left Maelog rather depressed at the beginning of 2014, I shifted him and the remaining two Elderlies girls over as husboar for the newly split Tribe undersows, which position he has held for the last 3 years.
Rather literally crashed out with the remaining Elderlies sows and bonding with the Tribe undersows
The combined group at Maelog's peak and a bum sniffing queue (with neighboar Bedo keen to join!)
(Please wait for the next instalment!)
