Hello everyone,

Firstly, to those who have lost their beloved piggies lately (and there have been quite a few), I offer my sincerest condolences and pray for your comfort in your time of sorrow.

Secondly, I've got some happy news.......... I bought another piggy!!   I had always wanted to find a friend for my Wheeky, who is a bit of a bully and whom I've had separated from the others since I bought him.     During the day time, I put all my piggies on to towels on the floor - two of them, Donald & Hamish, has free run.   My Wheeky gets put underneath the wire top of his cage for his and Donald's protection (they hate each other!).     Then, my next new ones which I bought on 1 October (Joey and Kimba) are also put under their wire top for protection.   Kimba is now quite a big boy, and comes to his mummy - boy, did my heart sing when he did that for the first time!   I felt like Julie Andrews running in the hills like she did  Sound of Music!

Anyway, I went to a pet shop yesterday to buy more piggy food, and there was a very little baby (8 weeks), so I thought I'd give it a go.   I bought him (he's called Snowdrop) and have been sitting in front of the cage with him and Wheeky in - and I am overjoyed to say I think I may have finally found Wheeky a friend!!  If anything, that little boy gives Wheeky a nip if Wheeky's being too attentive!    I moved their cage into my room last night so I could keep an ear out for any trouble - and am pleased to say that, apart from the rumbling of Wheeky all night, there was no trouble at all.   If anything, I think Wheeky is quite possessive of his new mate, warning Donald (who has run of the floor in the day) to keep well away from his baby.

I'm going to leave the cage with the other cages tonight, because I feel quite confident that things are going to work out with my new baby - and get myself some sleep tonight!!!!

Many happy wheeks to all,
Julie & Donald & Wheeky & Joey & Kimba & Snowdrop
with Muppet, Teddy, Dougall, Archie & Brandy forever in my heart & soul - desperately missed








When Satan is knocking at your door, simply say,' Jesus, could You please get that for me.
