My TEAS sanctuary foster group consists of mother/daughter team Essylt/Jessica and Crisiant/Krystal, whose mum sadly passed away from cancer at the beginning of last year; she was a trustee and a stout supporter of the dental sanctuary. Linda was also a facebook friend of mine, which is why I offered a home to the two girls of hers that did not need ongoing medical support.
When I unsuccessfully tried to bond the two ladies with the Tribe, Essylt and then recently adopted Tribe husboar Bedo fell instantly in love with each other, so Bedo ended up living with the two newbies, having been given the choice between the two groups.
A few months later the TEAS born triplets followed (from a heavily pregnant sow that was part of a large multi-species, multi-rescue action) and group life has never been the same... Bedo turned out to not only be a good diplomat with his argumentative ladies, but also a devoted nanny with all three babies bounding after him!
Later in autumn, young orphan Angharad (like Bedo) from The Potteries Guinea Pig Rescue joined them. She now has not only got the mum and three siblings that she lost, but a dad and an auntie as well!

Prince Charming and rumbling minstrel; Bedo translates as "little splendid lord". He was found dumped on Cannock Heath on a cold October morning. :(

Her Majesty the Queen, who is very much in her element running her own fiefdom! Essylt is the Welsh version of Cornish Iseult "beautiful".

Crisiant, Essylt's daughter, who is happy to be no longer her majesty's only subject. Crisiant is Crystal in Welsh.

The calmest and most timid of the Terrible Triplets, Crisiant's best friend. Myfina means "my little lovely one"

The naughtiest triplet; between her and Crisiant no bin or hay bag, wallpaper or anything they can lay their gnashers on is safe! Mererid is the Welsh version of Margaret. She is my little (black) "pearl".

The smallest, but feistiest of the three lively litter sisters. Morwenna means "white seas" because of her fuzzy rex-type coat.

The quiet one who suddenly started to grow long hair! Angharad means "much loved". A good name for a baby girl that ended up with just a rabbit for company...

Did you know Angharrad was the name of a faithful horse companion in the Knife of Never Letting Go? I had no idea that's what it meant! Such gorgeous piglets you've got :love::love::wub:

No, I don't. Angharad is a traditional Welsh name that goes back a long time. It is pronounced either Ang-HAR-rad or An-CAR-rad, depending who you speak to.
 
Bedo and his bevy of beauties. Lucky chap. I have to confess I have a soft spot for your cheeky Mererid - she is the image of one of my distant memory piggies - Nutmeg.
