Oh, Leah & Princess Snowflake!  I'm so thrilled for you both!  Bertie is gorgeous!!!  I'm so happy that he's got a wonderful home with you special ladies!  I'm also looking forward to hearing all about him!
Teddy knows that he's Numero Uno and always will be as he and PS are so in love (and newlyweds!), but he also welcomes the new guy in the pigture.
CONGRATS!!!

Hello Piggies & Slaves!

I've been a busy, busy Slave trying
to get things ready

for the new pig. I was going to go to
MGPR's Adoption

Party, so the Princess could meet some
piggies, but I

didn't realize how far it was (in Takoma,
MD). Sooooo,

Judi brought a pig and met me at Mary's
(B-Bear & B'scotch's

piggie-sitter in Virginia). That way,
I didn't have to drive as far.

How nice. So, PS & I stayed with
Mary on Saturday night and

Judi brought the new piggie (Bertrand)
on Sunday to meet

the Princess.



Bertrand is a neutered boy, he is approximately
2 years/

3 months old. He's a big boy and I think
he might be LAPS

material, but I won't know until I weigh
him. He is tan/white/

brown and has the sweeetest, little
face. I think he is mostly

an Abby, but I see some evidence of
the Agouti breed too,

so he's a mix of something. He's really
interesting-looking

and he has kind of a Bohawk (a Mohawk
located on his

back, kind of like a shark fin). I must
say, he's absolutely

Gorgeous! His official name is Bertrand,
but whee will call him

Bertie for short. He came to MGPR from
a shelter in West Virginia

that was not equiped for piggies and
he was almost put down...Yikes!

But, Thank God! MGPR saved him and Judi
(Lainer) was

his foster Mommy Slave. He was MGPR's
Piggie of the

Month for August 2009 and you can see
his pigture on their

website:



http://www.mgpr.org/MGPR/CF_Pages/available_gp.cfm



(Just scroll down the available piggie
list or search on his

name 'Bertrand') Isn't he just PRECIOUS?!?!?!?



Yesterday, when Bertie and PS met, they
were totally fine with

each other and there was no fighting...Whew!
I was so scared

they were gonna fight, anticipating
the worst. But, everything

went swell. It took me 5 hours/10 min
to get back to Charlotte,

NC and after about an hour, they slept
most of the way (in

the same carrier) so that was good.
When whee got home,

I set up their new palace. I was careful
not to let the Princess

see their new cage and accessories.
I'm keeping them in

a 5x2 C&C cage and they Love it!
I had to go to a mix of

shredded paper and CareFresh for their
bedding, for

obvious reasons ($$$). And I bought
new pigloos, and

water bottles. And I'm using a bigger
food dish. I wanted

everything to be new so that PS would
hopefully be less

territorial. And guess what?!? It Worked!!!
They are living

together as of last night and boy! am
I relieved. I didn't want

to keep them separate cuz that is so
much work, ya know.



So, anyways, I just wanted to introduce
Bertie to everyone

and WELCOME my new boy to the Digest!!!
I am Sooooooo

Happy and Excited and I can't wait to
start working on his first

website...Wheeeeek!



      Love 'n Wheeeeeeeeeeeps,

           Leah...Slave
to Princess Snowflake & Bertie :-)



P.S. PS wanted to let her Hubby, Prince
Teddy know that

she Loves him and that her Heart will
Always be with him...

and that Bertie is her 'Best Friend'
and that he totally understands

that she is married. <wink wink>
;-)
