  Well, Wed. Molly & I went to the vet for her "well piggie check". We learned some interesting things about our new girl! 1st she is not 2 years old. The vet showed me how, by looking at her teeth, you can tell how old a piggie is. She is app. 6-8 months old! Big difference from 2!!! She also unfortunately has "poor eyesight at best", as he put it. SHe is not completely blind, but at some point he determined that she has suffered a "trauma to the head". So that explains why she likes to be in small spaces & why she is always smelling everything. She just sniffs & sniffs all the time! He also said that's why she bobs her head & seems a little off kilter sometimes. Also that's why she totally freaked out when I cleaned her cage last week. How do we take care of a mostly blind piggie? Is there anything special we can do to help make life easier for her? 
  She is coming around ok. She does odd things like only pooing & peeing in 1 corner & she sleeps with her eyes closed, which is unusual for a piggie isn't it? We like her alot though, & just want to make life easier for her. She had a rough start. The vet gave us some drops to put on her head wounds to heal them up & they seem to be healing well. She weighs 1lb.11oz. which the vet said is normal since she is a female & for her age. Albert weighed twice that! She is our little neat freak piggie! We're very attahced to her already! 

***JAIME***, Molly the new pig in town! & Albert always in my heart.
