[Gracie01]

On the 12th October 2012 I added a member to our house.

Thumbelina was the teeniest piggy that was from a the 'Deal Piggies' (A Piggy Bank rescue).
Thumbelina had chewed ears, was very itchy due to parasites (her hair was very thin), and skinny.

Thumbelina has turned into a very happy piggy. Shes very vocal, loves food and popcorns all the time. She is very cheeky and mostly she is stunningly beautiful!

Thumbelina is the one on the right!

We adopted one beautiful piggie this year from the amazing NEGPR.

This is "little" Coby, he'd been handed into the rescue as an unwanted pet along with his cage friend. When he arrived at the rescue, they realised that he and his friend weren't the perfect match and poor coby got the brunt end of his cage mates temper!

He's my big ball of sunshine, and is always happy. I've never known such a sunny pig, and over the past few months he's found a soft sunny spot in my heart.

Coby and Tabby:

I can't wait for Suzy to get to June in her piggy timeline, I'm too impatient! Just the one pig for me this year, but what a pig she is!

In June 2012, Big Dave went dating at Glynneath GPR. Did he bring home the gorgeous DEW sow that I had been longing for? Nope! He brought home a very peculiar, slightly odd looking pig, who had no comprehension of pig-etiquette! Whether you were bringing her food, or even if you just looked at her in the wrong way, she'd chatter her teeth at you! Sitting staring into corners was a favourite passtime too. Big Dave really did pick an odd pig...

But what a pig she has become! Maggie (official name = Maggot, which gives an idea of the kind of conditions she was living in prior to going to Suzy) has blossomed into a cheeky, mischevious, incredibly affectionate, non teeth chattering little beauty! She is a fantastic little piggy, and I'm so grateful for Suzy for dating Maggie and Big Dave, and making them both very happy pigs!

A previously...odd...looking pig, although nothing compared to when she first arrived at Suzy's - photos will appear in Suzy's timeline of pigs!

To this

Definitely a case of quality over quantity for me this year!

Here's Ruth, who came to live with us this summer:

It didn't take her long to settle in:

And she quickly learnt the art of relaxation from her new friends:

Definitely one of the gang now!

Lots of lovelies on this thread....and Thumbelina...Oh my word what a happy ending!

Well on 12th December 2011, these 2 beauties came to live with me. Both rescue pigs from different Piggy Bank appeals, but they bonded at Suzys. As Gino had some dental issues, he had a stay at TEAS in Northampton so he could be treated by Uncle Simon. It was decided that it would be a good idea if Gino could be re-homed to someone within the local area, incase Gino had long term dental issues that would require regular treatment. Well I'm very happy to say that after a couple of visits to Uncle Simon, Ginos teeth are now in perfect condition

Considering I was so heartbroken after losing my boy Rodney in July 2011, and swearing blind I would not have any more piggies....I cannot imagine my life without these two. I just adore them so much, and they make my life complete

Gino & Jamie

perfect toofies!

Well this year was the busiest ever for guineas for me. I had 3 new arrivals.

First there was Millie who joined my sow pair

Then captain jack a few days later but he doesn't qualify for this thread, then I eventually got him wife pig.
Enter flossie, or flis floss as I call her.

Both came from a rescue.

Love this thread..... I've adopted 3 gorgeous little men from Jo at Milhaven this year

First up is the cheeky scamp Hogan (04-04-12) who was a new friend for Buzzy but is now very happily bonded with Branston. (Buzzy is happy next to them but in his own space)

...and the mega decibel wheeker Eric (on the left) and the blonde, shy but bossy Ernie (19-07-12).

They are all gorgeous boys with such different characters and I love them to bits (and not forgetting Buzzy and Branston too).

Big thanks to Milhaven and all the rescues for the great work you do x x>>

Here's a few pictures of my cheeky chap Simon, adopted from Hillsbrooke Rescue this summer. He was from the big "Chingford rescue". He is now happily married to his beautiful wife Baby.
It has been so lovely watching him gain his confidence and grow!

Here he is having cuddles with Snowy the Polar Bear!
