Thank you! Gingernut was a little sweetie.
Pippin is the one with the shredded ear. In fact, both of his ears were shredded. He had been bullied by other pigs :( Luckily, his ears never seemed to bother him, he even let me gently rub them from time to time :)
Welcome to The Asylum
On 6th May it was exactly one year since I adopted my little Albert. I drove 2 and a half hours to South Wales to pick him up so he could be friends with my lone boar, Wilbur. I'm not saying they hit it off immediately, but one year on they're (almost) the best of pals, as long as there's a divide between them!
Recently, the RSPCA sent me a newsletter, and on the front of the envelope was Albert's adoption photograph. It must have been taken shortly after they rescued him, because he looks really thin and his haunches and spine look quite pronounced under his fur.
Luckily, when I went to pick him up he'd put on a lot more weight, and is now quite a chubster! I think that was why I was so surprised when they brought out this huge pig, because I'd only seen his photo on the internet and was expecting something a lot smaller.
Here are some photos I took of him this morning, looking very handsome, if I do say so myself (although in need of a nail trim)!
Happy Adoption Anniversary, little man!

Thank you, Alden. His fur is so thick and soft. His head is just about the fluffiest thing ever!
Lynx, I would definitely be interested in having Albert as a calender possibility, thank you.
In other news, both Albert and Wilbur are off to my mum's house tonight to stay the weekend. I'm decorating the kitchen, which is right next to the pigs' room, and I don't want them getting paint fumes in their delicate, little lungs!

Help! Albert has grown to the size of a mountain!
Then again, Wilbur isn't looking so tiny, either...

Thank you :) Albert, being officially 50% fur, is especially cuddly, but Wilbur gets plenty of fuss, too!
