Temptation - again

[Merab]

Yesterday I was asked about the possibility of giving an older bereaved boar a home.
I said I would find the nearest rescue as I couldn’t take an intact boar unless there was nowhere else.
Today, walking past the local pet shop I noticed an ad in the window offering a 6 week old single boar for sale.
Now, of course, I’m thinking they could be companions, which doesn’t alter the fact there’s nowhere to put any more piggies.

Fortunately (?) my husband talks sense and reminded me I couldn’t rescue them all and we have a very happily bonded herd of 3 sows and a husboar.

I did suggest converting his shed - there was ‘a look’!

 

[Bill & Ted]

Aw, men! The voice of reason, where would we be without them? Up to our necks in piggies and poop!

 

[Claire W]

Do it! You know you want too. Ah go on, go on, go on, go on

 

[eileen]

I'm glad I'm not married !hence 24 piggies.its a hobbie for me !you should be able to have as many as you can afford vet fees for !

 

[Betsy]

You already have 4, what's 2 more? I can help with names!

 

[David Piggie Lover]

4 add 2 equals bundles fun.

 

[Sophie B]

Aww, what’s two more?
Terrible influence I am...

 

[Swissgreys]

I hear you loud and clear.
Even before Ruby tried to eat his face, I was trying to come up with a plan to take in the boar from the neighbors.
Thankfully DH was the voice of reason and Ruby was just grumpy.

You are being sorely tempted. I can only imagine the look on Mr Merab’s Slave’s face when you shared with him your vision of a shed filled with piggies. I bet it took all his years of tact and diplomacy to persuade you it wasn’t going to happen.

This is my problem whenever I see piggies up for adoption. But hubby is quite strict with us having just 3. I know we couldn't afford more but oh the looks of the piggies in those photos..

Id happily have more, and particularly when my new shed arrives, that is what is going to happen. Hubby and I actually had an argument about it a couple of weeks ago. I think it’s totally out of line that he can have seven motorbikes but I’m only allowed two piggies.....he can’t ride seven bikes at once but I can definitely cuddle multiple piggies at once!

I totally agree with you! If he can have his motorbikes you can have your piggies! As he has 7 motorbikes I think its completely reasonable that you can have 7 piggies. Motorbikes cost a lot more than piggies do in terms of maintenance.

 

[Bill & Ted]

Yes, boys and their toys!

I fully understand!
I contacted a local rescue today asking if they had any for adoption..Looks like my 3 girls will soon be 4

[artcasper]

aww its a shame we can't save them all ... this is why i don't look in the adoption section or online... its hard to resist their little faces...

 

[Flutterby]

It's very hard to say no!

I haven’t met her yet, only seen photos she’s sent me. She looks adorable. Said I would let her know by the weekend (as I was going to try a rescue in Melbourne on Friday). But been thinking about her ever since and have just text her this morning that I’d love to home her and if I can come Friday.. checking my phone every few seconds for a reply!
