I love looking at the different profile pictures that everyone has and was just wondering why people chose that particular picture/piggy to be their profile.

Mine is rather self explanatory - it's my rescue logo. It would be impossible to choose one piggy over another here.

I have some real favourites on the forum - so many of them are great pictures and great piggies (Lavenderjade watch out, keep your profile piggy under lock and key)! :(|)

So who is your signature piggy? Anyone? :)
 
My avatar is my little darling Farquhar who died in January aged 5. I thought it would be a nice tribute to Farquhar to have her as my profile. She was a little sweetheart and I was heartbroken when she went to Rainbow Bridge to join her sister.
 
mine is one of the few i have of monty and arthur together before they fell out. otherwise i'd have to pick a picture of just one of them, and that wouldn't be fair - unless i kept alternating them - that is a thought.....

:)) Louise I had no idea my piggy was so admired!

His name is Sunny and I just love that picture of him. He is a very cheeky brave piggy who became lonely Timmys best friend x) He made a good recovery last year after a long illness and he is lovely!

I love loads of piggies on here too, I have a huge soft spot for Goldie's Umbrella and of course Ralfie!
 
Sorry I meant to say AVATAR not profile - please forgive me............ it's been a long day !
 
The piggy in my profile is Ginger, one of my first pair of pigs adopted from the rspca. Sadly , his companion Snowey, had died before I joined this forum. Ginger was approximately 3 years old when I got him, and had never been handled. He was a large, pale ginger pig with pink eyes (I don't know much about breeds, but to me he was gorgeous). Gaining the trust of both Ginger and Snowey was a long, slow process but gradually progress was made. Snowey died 18 months later, but Ginger seemed to come out of himself even more after this. He was a pig with attitude who seemed to love me, but quite clearly disliked my OH! In March this year I had to have Ginger PTS as he had kidney failure. This was one of the most heartbreaking things I have ever had to do. Ginger's legacy was a love of guinea pigs which just seems to grow and grow. My current piggies, Noggin and Brillo, were both elderly rescue boars. There's something very satisfying about rehoming pigs that tend to get overlooked. RIP Ginger.
 
Eccles is in my Avatar. He is a tiny boy at only 2lb but he has such an expressive face that we always capture him just right.
 
My avatar changes a lot; at the moment it's snaps of my Dizzy who sadly died earlier this month. 8...

Guess, I have too many good snaps... (my hubby thinks they go into the thousands; I refuse to comment!) :))
 
no, that's there... erm, royal name, thingy!
the agouti is jenny, the satin is bambido and the absinian is abby, oh and the brown dutch is called george, it's there side name. if you get it!
 
Mine at the minute is Tiger and Amy as I have just got Amy and Tia last week. Will be swapping for a George and Tia one once she is settled and I get a good picture of her!
 
Mine is my darling Mr Fuzzypeg.

Quite simply, he is my favourite! And, being the lone neutered boar in my sow pack, he is the backbone to my piggie family!

Mine is Pringle and Wotsit having a cuddle on my lap.... trying to get them to stop still for a new picture of them together is a nightmare!

Wotsits nose and lips are just gorgeous in this pic.
 
Mine is of my "baby" Spice.
He was one of my first piggies, along with Blaze. I got him from Helen (Hels) and Graham (Sokel). He was very ill and very reliant on me last August and September and died in my arms after me telling him it was ok to go around 11am on September 30 2009 aged just 10 months, after rallying on for a week while I was on a field trip, just to be with me again.
This is a picture of him just before he became ill that I played with when I had a trial version of photoshop.
 
At present my avatar pic is Blaze, one of the first pair of our first ever pigs. Up until Blaze I had Bear (or as we call him Big Squishy Bear) lying down relaxing outside his log house :) I'm about to change my avatar to one of the other piggies soon, but will have to have a think. It's nice to change them regularly show them all off one by one :)
 
Mine is my boy Rory.....he's just too charming to not put there!

Though I love them all, he is my favorite, with Pola a close second!
 
Mine is Charlotte, she is being a cheeky monster at the mo. Not as much as the cat who keeps standing on the keyboard while I'm typing (he wants a cuddle)
 
Mine is Zippy, because he seems to be everyone's favourite and I liked the pic. Before that it was the lovely Beatrice. I know it sounds silly but because I don't change it often, I worry if I change it people won't recognise me - does anyone else think that? mallethead
 
i chose salvatori as mine as he was a new baby and sadly passed at 2 days old so I'm keeping him close to me..
