[Gpdd] Misc: New Piggie at the misfits

[ANDREW SILL]

Hello everyone and every pig,
Well I must announce the arrival of a very special piggie here at the Misfits.
Her name is "Agnes".She is a rescue piggie that we rescued last nite. She belonged to a little boy that lost interest in taking care of her and when he watched a friends pig while they were gone he put the two pigs together and let just say our little Agnes is large and it isn't from over feeding!!! The father of the boy we were told was very angry.. and was going to put Agnes down, since she was pg and the boy didn't take care of her anymore... So Andy and I couldn't let this little girl be put down when all she wanted was a forever home. We drove 3 hours total last night after Andy got off work at 6, to rescue this little lady. We had no idea of how far along she is or what she looked like or even her age when we left to get her. We were just told she was pg and was going to be put down... 
Well she is a lovely little girl indeed. I would guess her to be about 6 to 8 months old. Her nails hadn't been trimmed and she had not been handle much as she was very very nervous. We made her  cage up last night and kept cking on her, as she didn't want to eat or drink. We do not know the kind of food she was used to getting, but here we use Oxbow. I did put some critical care on some greens and she finally ate that this morning. We have not had a new arrival here since Aubrey came to live with us on May 2009. Its been a long time since we had a pregnat pig here also. So I will have to read up on it. SO any info you think I should know please let me know.
I really am not sure how far along she is either. So that will be interesting too.
Just thought I would let you  all know about little Agnes.  Have a good weekend and a good  4th of July to those that celebrate it:)
