"Can I move in yet?"

He has two ladies waiting for him on the other side of the bars, alas the wedding can't be brought forward from 28 July!
 
Awww...poor chap :)) My Henry is exactly the same, lies staring at the girls all day! It must be love:)

Are you excited about the wedding though?
 
Poor Kingslie! Who will join him, apart from Saffron? At least, he can flirt through the bars! I hope that madam Saffron is flirting back?
 
Peggy is staying with me indefinitely, yes........let me explain. (I've done a lot of explaining myself this year.)

I've had her for two weeks, she is one of the poorly piggies, but the latest trip to Vedra to sort out her teeth revealed quite an abnormality. She'll likely need frequent dental work and syringe-feeding for the rest of her life. Her owner couldn't bring her to Vedra weekly and syringe-feed her as much as she needs, so after saying she'd have to be PTS because of this being a permanent condition, I had a think and some words and he agreed to hand her over.

I know, I know, I can't do this for every poorly pig in this situation, I am aware of how this looks and how it makes me seem (where did my limit go!?!?). I am fully conscious this has to be a one off. I have quite a few senior piggies, of which Peggy has now joined the likes of. She is an older girl, 5.5 years.

Saffron is notorious for being a right monster to other girls, but after having no luck with pairing Peggy up with other pigs, I tried Saffron with some hesitation, and for only the second time ever, Saff is showing her softer side. Saffron was incredibly gentle and considerate of Lottie when she was ill and just before she died back in 2008, and she's showing the same tenderness with Peggy now.

So Kingslie is going to get two wifeys after all. Not something I ever foresaw, but there you go.

Look how tiny Peggy is next to Saff! She was 575g on arrival, up to 660g now but heading on upwards.

Ah Peggy's so little! Kingslie's a lucky boy, two wives to look forward to.
I couldn't of resisted keeping her either.
 
Ooh! Poor Peggy, I hope her dental issues don't prove to be too much for her :(

She's landed on her little feet though, your good care, a new friend AND a husband!

She's so dinky too! She looks like a baby next to the lovely Saffron :)
 
I'm sure his wives will be very pleased with this handsome boy!
 
So much the right decision to make. She's lovely. Kingslie must be even more impatient now with 2 girlies waiting for him. But what do we do now- does this mean we have to wear 2 hats for the wedding? :(|)
 
Awww... she's such a tiny little lady! It's so sweet how Saffron understands she needs some piggy love!

Kingslie, I hope time flies until the wedding!
 
Bless her, she's tiddly & given that Saffy likes her i think fate lent a hand & she was meant to stay.

Can't wait to see them all together x)
