Now I haven't posted any new photo threads for the past few weeks, maybe even a month (which is a long time for me). I have been mega busy with working, moving into the new house at uni, travelling up and down to Preston for meetings before term has started and the dreaded vets visits. Pleased to say I'm happily moved in (can't wait to move back out of Preston in May) and getting stuck into this 4th year uni work.
I've been back home this weekend getting the car MOT'd and serviced - which it passed yay! So took the opportunity to get some snaps of the girls.

Here is Esme and Ruby tucking into their breakfast!

Little Tia and her Mummy Esme!

Lovely old Rosie.

Now comes the taming of the Tia pig. Tia is my most skittish girl, she startles at the slightest thing and loves to hide in clothes. So she has been having lots of cuddles etc to try and calm her down a little bit.

Miss Tia Claus, she much prefers using it as a hidey than wearing it. It just made a cute picture.

To be continued...
 
And today we have had a new situation. Esme has been coming in for medicine time and a wander round the living room, as she can be trusted and hardly ever startles. Rosie has been coming in every so often with her, as she generally doesn't venture away from the puppy pad and food. So today was Ruby's turn, over the past few weeks she has become more and more trusting, and doesn't scare quite so much so she was able to have a go at free ranging with her friend today. I had to barricade the TV side of the room off and sat blocking the rest of the room ( I normally just let Esme do what she pleases) so they had a fair amount of room to play with. Initially it was pretty difficult not to scare Ruby, but with some grass and dandelions she soon got used to it- she even tried to munch on my rich tea biscuit- Cheeky!

Here they are cosied up. Ruby is the big bum you can see.

Slightly blurry, but looking happy with her new freedom :)

Aww I have missed your stunning girls. It is great to hear they are gaining in confidence.

Is HUGE!

They definitely are gaining some confidence, I would love to be able to one day let them all free range properly like Esme and Rosie but at the moment it is very slow progress and involves making lots of high barriers to stop Ruby leaping over them and eating cables, and getting herself into a pickle. Tia is still very much too unruly to allow even the smallest amount of free ranging, but hopefully in the future.
