Saturday weight checks, health checks and nail trims here as usual, this week's star performers are...
Puggle wuggle! She's been over a kilo for a month now, 1033g today, lots of healthy 2-year-old heft for a previously bloaty piggy who struggled to keep above 800g for over a year :)

Bigpig Clover! Who at over 3 and a half is no longer quite so big and is now slimmer than some of the hefty 2 year olds- but after several weeks of practicing "give a paw and get a coriander stem" today she finally overcame her terror of nail trims and let me do all her toes without any fuss at all :)

Jezzy floof who is completely beautiful in every way regarding floofiness and personality but has awful feet, her poor old feet are crusty and blotchy with curly nails and twisted toe bones and big foot spurs from her bad background that 3 different vets cant do anything for... but here she is after an antiseptic foot clean and gorgeous guineas paw moisturise and massage and a nail trim (and 4 stems of coriander, one for each foot) showing off her dreadfully curly front paws. I have no idea how she is so happy all the time with feet like that but she gets a foot spa once a feet and lots of soft fleecy flooring!

I am very proud I managed to trim a bit off every pale coloured piggy nail in the main herd today, 6x 14 toes... although mad Piggle who has a bit of himalayan ancestry and likes to make life as interesting as she can for her slaves has progressed from just having dusky ears and front foot pads to having a dark toe and nail on each front foot! I still trimmed them, just 2mm off each, typical Piggle :)
