Hi there,

We are doing okay here! Since last Tuesday the Netherlands is in lockdown,
but we are managing. I am also able to walk around again after hip surgery,
pretty far on the road to recovery.
Binky was pretty ill a few weeks ago and for a moment there I thought we
would loose him, but he recovered miraculously. The theory is he probably
had a small bladder stone that he passed and which made him obviously feel
pretty bad. He was already on eurologist for bladder sludge and got
painkiller which was also anti inflammatory. Unfortunately at the time our
own vet was not available, and the vet standing in for him could only
suggest the painkiller (always when you can't use a less cavy savvy
vet..?). But luckily it helped Binky enough, and if he really passed a
little stone the painkiller must have eased his pain a bit. Right now he
seems like his normal self again ripping up the newspaper in the pigloo and
rumbling at the girls.
Anyways, Erwin made this movie of the pigs being impatient for their
veggies and it made me smile. I wanted to share it with everyone here,
because I think we could all use the smiles right now!

Take care and stay safe everyone and every pig!
