The Piggies are Moving

Good luck in the move, hoping you all have safe & comfortable journeys :)
If ever you come back down this way visiting let us know, I'm sure us Salisbury bunch would love to do a 'special guest' appearance meet in your honour :nod: :tu: :hug:

Hope the girls & Mr handsome enjoy their holiday at pigglepuggles... But don't get too settled ;)

Priscilla... A week should work out at 14 breakfasts....
Breakfast 1 with mummy or daddy pigglepuggles (whoever gets up first). Then breakfast 2 for whoever gets up second as I'm sure you can trick them into thinking you're starving & haven't been fed? Love Orca
:inn::crazy::whistle::shh::D

Good luck in your new home/job/role & happy travels
:dri:

Love the girls & I :hug:
Xx

Just got 2 lots of 1.5m x 2m polar fleece (one white paw print the other woodland) for when I can put my piggies in the garage when we move. I have yet to buy the waterproof mattress protectors to put underneath them. I know I have to wash the fleeces until they wick which I'll be doing but does anyone know whether I need to wash the mattress protectors too?

I wash everything new lol but that's just me!

Is all that ours?
Not quite girls but some of that is for all your stuff.
The rest of your stuff is in the lounge waiting for us to go and visit auntie @PigglePuggle on Thursday.
Tomorrow Micah goes for a final check and maybe a last antibiotic injection.
It was a joy to watch him doing zoomies this afternoon. Only 4 weeks to go until he gets to meet the girls.
 
Yeah!
Micah has been discharged by the vet.
No injection needed today and everything is healing well.
His weight is slowly creeping up so everyone is happy.

All piggies checked and weighed this morning. Priscilla had a fur trim and bum wash.
All ready for their great Northern adventure.

Yay that's great news. Lucky little Micah will soon be in seventh heaven :P
Hope the move goes well, especially the journey north on Thursday. I'm sure the piggies will have a lovely holiday at @PigglePuggle 's, once the move is complete the frazzled hoomans will probably need a holiday too :eek::D
 
Glad you're all packed up and especially glad little Micah has a clean bill of health! Looking forward to meeting you all, I keep cleaning the house ready for you coming but then the piggies poop and throw hay everywhere (even in rooms they never go in somehow!) then I have to start again...
I do have a well stocked fridge though with many piggy veggies, piggy daddy went to Asda this morning and bought extra pepper, cucumber, lettuce, coriander, babycorn, pea pods, and a bag of spinach salad mix. And a watermelon. Just to cover all options :)
 
Mine won’t want to leave if they’re re going to be that spoilt :))

I have some dill and chicory to bring plus anything left in the fridge tomorrow.
Please assure Jezzy that there is a bag of carrots for her.

Our plan is to leave about 6:00am so that we don’t have too long to travel when it gets really hot.
All being well should be with you around late morning/ midday - if all goes according to plan.

Safe journey, hope you can avoid the worst of the heat and the traffic isnt too bad! Jezzy is looking forward to meeting anyone who has carrots :)

PS I have sort of given up on cleaning the house for visitors now after finding out that the giant snails have been taking another bath, plus Theo is emitting his best eye-watering boar smell after catching a whiff of Kreacher yesterday... oh dear, I did try! Please be warned that my house smells of boy pigs and is coated in snail slime :( but I have lots of hay and piggy food :)
 
Wishing you Godspeed and a safe and easy journey tomorrow, @Merab's Slave ! Hope the M5 and M6 behave for you. @PigglePuggle , sorry Kreacher's presence upset your herd dynamics and domestic fragrance, though I admit I didn't notice any particularly pungent niffs. Hope harmony and piggy cleanliness are restored soon! :D

Have a safe trip.

I just hope the piggies still remember @Merab's Slave after they were super spoiled by @PigglePuggle, 🤣

Of course the piggies will remember their mummy and daddy and they will be moving to an exciting new house next week then all moving in together which is even more exciting.
I just fuss a bit when we have visitors because usually the only visitors we get are my family, and this week we'll have had 2 visits from forum members and piggies!
And I want to make sure @Merab's Slave can leave her piggies here without worrying, leaving your piggies somewhere can be very stressful if you aren't confident they will be looked after properly... we've only taken 2 of ours to a piggy sitter once and they didnt like it, the house and the lady smelt of dogs and strong perfume and they were very pleased to come home!

Ooh good luck with the move @Merab's Slave and piggies. Where in the North West are you relocating? I'm 5 miles away from Rochdale and 16 miles from Manchester xx

I’m moving to the Wirral so a few miles away from you.
Looking forward to getting to a Manchester meet.

I wouldn’t let my piggies stay if I wasn’t 100% confident that they would be well cared for and happy piggies.
No need to fuss - really
 
Well the move seems like a reality now as we prepare to take the piggies north tomorrow.
Picked up on the idea of a damp towel to help with the heat - thanks.
Freezer blocks ready to be taken out of freezer tomorrow.
Cucumber chunks in the fridge - travel boxes ready for piggies.
Route worked out to avoid motorways in case of issues.
Setting out early to try and avoid worst of the heat.
Big question now - do I want to pack another box or go to bed early?

I think bed might win!
 
Bed every time! You can always get up a bit earlier to pack a box Heather. You an Neal need an early night for your long drive in the heat tomorrow x
 
Bed with a good book would be my choice (providing the bedroom isn't too hot still!).

Regarding the damp towel, I found that my tea towel started to dry quite quickly, not sure if that was because the air from the air con wasn't chilled. I stopped after an hour at services to check how my piggy passenger was doing, and as the towel had started to dry I poured some chilled water from a flask onto it.

What route are you planning to take?
