This is a picture of Dolly and Koffie (left to right) when I just got them, 8 weeks old all fuzzy and a little scared :)

8 week old quiffy Koffie:

This is about 1.5 years ago when Koffie would still climb up to my shoulder any time I'd cuddle her:

This is their setting in my old room, when they couldn't roam free
I'm afraid my pictures are all quite Koffie-heavy as Dolly is too shy to be photographed. Anytime I try to get her on a picture she runs away, so all are just a blur :(
This is after I cut Koffie's nails myself for the first time and accidentally hit the flesh. I was probably more upset than she was, she just crawled into my bathrobe's sleeve and stayed there until the bleeding stopped.

The Ladies' new setting, with fleece instead of sawdust!

Awwwwww what pretty girls such lovely pigtures drool x)
 
Woo pigtures!

They are gorgeous! Koffie's colouring is similar to my Whiskey's, but the markings are very different!

Tell Dolly she is to stop being camera shy!
 
Dolly really hates it. She is unfortunately very shy generally. When she thinks no one's watching, she'll be really quite cheeky and explore lots of places Koffie's a bit too scared to explore. But the moment she realises either myself or Koffie are around, she runs back to a safe place to hide and won't come out.
She doesn't like cuddles and is reluctant to even come out when I feed them.
Koffie on the other hand will come running the moment I get food and will call me over from the kitchen to give her her favourite treats. She will also come up to me for cuddles.
I've accepted that Dolly is the way she is and I mostly leave her to it, but it would be nice to have a little snuggle with her every now and again :( Or get a good picture for that matter!

The two of them do the most amazing thing where they will start singing along to my radio alarm clock, as they know that if I get out of bed, they will get food. They serve as background singers/extra alarm clocks!
 
Your piggies are both very beautiful. x) I love Koffie's colouring! Maybe Dolly will become less shy. It took or 5yr old piggy 'Putt' until she was 3yrs before she would eat on our laps and not run away all the time.
We started giving her & her sister a snack of a 2 parsley sprigs in front of her house, then at the bars to gain her trust, it was slow going but she got there - She now sits on our lap while we watch tv. So keep perserving with Dolly.

Oh that's really good to know!
I shan't give up with her in that case, she might come round still!

And thanks everyone! I love my little piggies.

I'd love to have piggies waking me up instead of the OH saying WAKE UP :))
