Hi all.

Today marks the 2nd week that the newest member of my family was welcomed home. Leo.
I cannot begin to express how much I have grown to love him since I first brought him home, even my family are absolutely in love with him!
He has sincerely helped me I guess in a way I have helped him to, I gave him the home he didn't have. At first I was very tentative with handling him since he had been neutered and I was both frightened of hurting him and I shuddered every time my hand would touch his scabs, but now we are both very comfortable with each other. After only 2 weeks he is so tame and bold he wheaks along with Zee at any meal time and wheaks back at me if I wheak at him. Every morning he'll come up to the door for a chin scratch standing on his rear feet and stretching his head up. I am totally smitten with this blonde boy.

I am not the only one I have noticed a difference in Zee to, she seems so much more content, happy and active. Which of course makes me one happy pig-mother.

And of course he came with new experiences as he is both the first Boar and long haired piggie I have owned. I thought after owning Guinea pigs for about 9-10 years it was about time a Boar became a member of my family.

Now for some pictures.
(He recently had a hair cut in his rear regions so I am sorry if he seems a little scruffy)

I love his two toned lips so much.

I also love how he can go from absolutely gorgeous to completely silly in no time, he totally vege'd out on my dad's stomach (I laugh every time I see this, he looks like a snail)

And a little piggie smile from Zee.

Thank you all for the support.

Jodie.
Leo and Zee.
 
He's a Stunner for sure x) So is Zee, what a pretty little lady x) Piggie lips drool

He's certainly landed on his feet with you and Zee and sounds like he is getting used to his new home very well. Thanks for the update.
 
Wow lucky piggies. I think I would be smitten as well. thanks for sharing x
 
That 2nd photo of Leo! Gorgeous, gorgeous! The hair, the lips, the nose! Did I say the hair! I know what you mean about the 2 tone lips. Both my boys have them and I love it. I'm surprised that Leo has them as he has no dark colouring elsewhere.

And what a lovely close-up of the beautiful Zee.
 
Oh my Lordy his hair is hilarious! It's so cute!! He's very handsome. My boyfriend is called Leo! Your Leo deffo has the most hair! Hahaha x
 
Lovely photos and very cute piggies x

Thank you.

No problem, I still do feel a little guilty as they all loved him so much at the RSPCA but he is so totally mine now. Haa haa. I am actually so shocked at how fast he is settling, I still haven't had propper floor time with him yet and if he doesn't want to come out I don't force it. But it'll happen soon.
Thanks btw.

I love that little hair-do of his, he styles it every morning. TWICE. :)

I know even Zee has light pink lips and she is black. He seems to have quite dark ears too they are a darkish brown, when you can actually see them beneath his hair.

You have to love the hair.
It was his rear I cute it was starting to trail behind him so I'd like to know how long he could get but I don't want to try, because of tangleing then hurting him.
Yeah his hair is pretty iconic hence why he's named after a character with iconinc hair. : ) His hair always reminds me of some kind of Aztec headdress. Ha haa!

Thank you very much.
 
Leo is beautiful, I just love his hair and his colouring. <3 Zee is gorgeous too and I hope they get along great.
Lilly, Rosie has two toned lips, and she is white all over ( she is off-white ) so i think she is darker underneath
 
I thousand thank you's go out to you all.

Here I have some more pictures, as we had a power cut earlier today so I thought what can I do since I couldn't finished drawing my comic or write my story. So I got my camera out and Zee then Leo. And viola a photo shoot was born!
I also decided is there anyway I can put them in a calender, like can they audition (I know its really silly, but I enjoy this alot) Or can I make them and sell them and then give the money to a rescue?

Her innocent face.
