I've been thinking about getting my pig Muffy a sister for awhile now, and I 
popped into a pet store during some Christmas shopping today.  I should have 
known better...sure enough I spotted a sweet little abbisynian baby, orange 
with brown patches and red eyes.  I told my husband, "if that's a girl we're 
taking her home!" Sure enough, she was a sow.  We named her Ginger.  I can 
already tell her personality is much different that her big sister's...Muffy 
is reserved and a little skitterish, while this one is quite adventurous. 
(Muffy barely moved the first 2 days we had her; this one happliy ran 
thoughout my coat and chewed on the lining all the way home!)

We just introduced the 2 girls; Muffy seemed curious, and slightly alarmed.  
She sniffs Ginger a lot and will "mount" her sideways, but hasn't nipped at 
all.  I set up the cage with 2 houses (Muffy with her pigloo, Ginger with a 
little log hut), 2 water bottles and 2 food dishes, but I don't know how 
well that's going to work out...Ginger wants nothing to do with her side, 
she's quite happy to (literally) follow Muffy around and snuggle up with her 
in the pigloo!  Muffy's been complaining a little but doesn't seem to mind 
too much.  Our little one seems to be quite the character!

Tara and the girls, Muffy and Ginger
