[Gpdd] CARE Barmy4boars and congrats on babies

[Penny Charlesworth]

Susi,

The website is called www. barmy4boars.co.uk not boys! Ginger must have 
typed it wrong in yesterday's digest. Try again. I'd recommend it to anyone 
who wants to introduce a new boar to an existing one ( plus it has some cute 
pigtures ).

Good idea about the info "page".

Kathy,

Congratulations on the new arrivals!! Isn't it wonderful to be able to watch 
them come into the world?

After many, many years of piggy care, I am still amazed to see them chasing 
around their pen after just a few hours.

Penny and the Piggyfriends.
