But do not fear, all are well in the piggy household!

Hi everyone! It's been a long time since I posted a piggy update and I hope everyone had a great holiday period with their piggies!

As the title says there has been a change in my herd! Tess has come indoors after a few months of separating her off every so often (with company) to make sure she was getting enough to eat. She passed an MOT from the vet with almost flying colours; she agreed with me in that we'd prefer to see a little more 'insulation' on her but apart from that she's doing fine, which is a relief! However, until I can get a new home built for her in the shed and with the weather getting particularly chilly, she's come inside for a while... With Einstein! I've been watching them this last few days, rummaging around their temporary home for grub, chatting to each other and snuggling up together and I have no doubts in my mind that I've made the right decision.

I originally didn't want to take Einstein out of the herd and leave those rowdy party girls without a boar to keep them in check but at the moment... it's like nothing has changed for them! The herd are perfectly fine with the arrangement. As long as they get extra grub they don't seem to realise that I've pinched their man! I'm sure at some point though Munchie will be demanding that I hold auditions, over which she will naturally be top judge, to find "The Shed's Next Top Boarfriend"... (sorry) ...Oh, and maybe a few more friends as compensation for stealing their boar... Not that I'd mind in the slightest... rolleyes

Aside from that little change, all is well with the piggies! Just waiting for the weather to improve now so I can get to work on a semi-permanent run area (I've got such big ideas, I just hope I can turn them into reality!) for them for when the time comes that they can start getting out and about again!

Once Tess and Einstein have settled in I'll be sure to get some pigtures of them for you!
 
I remember your herd being some of the first piggies I saw when I joined the forum. I'm glad they're all well, I'll look forward to pigtures!
 
It is great that the separation worked out and your little girl is getting better. :)
 
Glad to hear everything is working out and I cannot wait for those pigtures!

Glad it's worked out, looking toward to 'The sheds next top boarfriend' will it be on Sky Tv?

Not the best quality, but trying to take photos inside with no natural light is a bit of a fail...

Neither of them look their best at the moment thanks to months of slowly having their hair nibbled away by Bean... Tess looks so dinky now her hair skims her body rather than flicks out all over the place! She's always been a more petite lady, but bless her - she looks sooo small here! Einstein's just chunky. x)

It'll take a while for their lovely long locks to return... But they're still soooo cute. Give it a month or two and they'll both have full peru coats back with no Bean around to nibble them... Oddly enough Bean doesn't bother with the Coronets anywhere near as much as she did with these two - now she pinches hair off just about any-pig that sits still long enough and doesn't see her coming...
