Q, (my fiancé) thought Oliver needed a friend (yes, he's a keeper), and we ended up adopting a trio (yes, trio) of boys from the Animal Rescue League in Des Moines. Meet:

And, McElroy (Texel cross - he is the cutest little Brillo pad!)

After quarantine, they survived the least eventful intros, and are living happily as a 4-boar SuperHerd!

More to come, hope everyone is well!

I always remember you and your stories of Mouse fondly. So glad you still have pigs in your life, as well as an adorable puppy and a great guy!

Hello from Iowa! It is finally spring here, and the pigs are glad to see the sunshine!

We have transitioned from a snuggly winter to aaaaalmost summer! Picture heavy post, will keep text to a minimum - we all know you are here to see the pictures anyway! :)

The superherd is thriving, and everyone is all grown up!

Flashback to last year, when they were so tiny! The boys' "gotcha" day is on May 1, and will mark one year!

The herd patriarch is doing well also (knocks wood)

Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying spring!

Hello!

Its fall here in Iowa, and I figured I should update with some pictures!

Not super exciting photos, but last night was spa night, and everyone got their nails done :)

Rocky:

AJ:

McElroy:
Image

Oliver!
Image

The boys also got a cage expansion!

Image

Image

Last but not least, the pups!

Purdy is in training to possibly do novice agility next summer! (And, she loves it, so we go!) Here she is being a good girl at class:

Image

Here she is again, but notice her puppy-cousin (my sister's Berner) in the background! What a good sit.

Image

The wedding is also approaching quickly, 5 weeks from Saturday! We are busy but loving it!
