Spent this afternoon catching up with the piggy weight and health checks after missing a couple of weeks over the holidays, and after just saying a couple of days ago that I doubt Puggle would ever reach a kilo...
Over a kilo of gorgeous ginger Puggle! Puggle says she would now like me to stop calling her "little bloaty Puggle" as she hasnt actually bloated for over a year and she's really not that little anymore :)

Tallulah is still little but has a nice heft, think this is her adult weight as she's been 820-860g for about 2 months now!

Big pig Clover was a very brave girl letting me trim a bit more off her nails which she hates and earned coriander for being so good

And here's Blodwen in a very undignified pose for having some dirty matted fur trimmed off on her way to the bum bath bucket! I just had to include it because despite the mucky bum she's just so cute even when she's upside down! She's all clean now and trimmed and tidied up and rewarded with coriander :)

I should probably add that Blod has seen the vet about her mucky bum twice, and she just has a mucky bum- always the pale coloured longer haired fluffy girls are the ones who don't clean themselves properly and like to sit in their own wee and poops! Blod gets poop fur dreadlocks in the skin folds where her legs join her chubby tummy, about once a month I trim them off and she has a gorgeous guinea's posh'n'go bum bath :)

My Sheepy used to get the same (pale haired too), he was a rather lazy (sorry relaxed!) boy and couldn’t be bothered to give himself a good clean or move out of his comfy sloppy spots! Absolutely despised bum baths so after six months or so I just trimmed his bum hair right down even though he looked gorgeous with his big fluffy bottom! Would still get a little messy so the occasional bath but so much easier for us both!
 
Aww 😍 beautiful piggies! I remember the excitement when fluffy finally reached a kilo shortly after bonding with Princess, she'd never made it above 900g previously and dropped to 800g post spay! She's now over 1.1kg 😍
