Linus and Charlie from the Ojai group have been adopted !!

They were adopted by a young couple who saw their picture on the website and came to meet them.

Linus and Charlie snuggled with them and stole their hearts. ( The couple had thought they would meet a few of the pairs and then decide, but after meeting Linus and Charlie, they didn't even look at another pair- they weren't even tempted by the baby boars!)

Yay! They are simply gorgeous. How could anyone resist those adorable faces? They have such 'pick me! pick me!' faces. All the best in your Forever Home Charlie and Linus.

Congratulations, Linus and Charlie! I hope your new parents will join Guinea Lynx, so we can continue to admire you. :)

Earlier this week, the Pumpkin Pie Gang finished their evening greens before the boys from Ojai did.

Outraged to hear the sounds of crunching from down the hallway, Sugar set up an impassioned wheeking.

Spice and Tweak joined in and when I came in to see what the commotion was about, they tried to persuade me that they hadn't been fed yet.

Tweak- " We're starving here!"

Image

Spice- " Don't you love us anymore?"

Image

Sugar tried to add in her bit, but was betrayed by her green beard-

"Can't you see how hungry we are?"

Image


I've been playing with the settings on my camera, trying to avoid the possessed piggie red eye.

The normal setting loooks like this:


Image

An alternate setting loses the red eye but comes out blurred, like so:

Image

Turning off the flash loses most of the red eye, but tends to look very dark:

Image

Of course, you can always play with lighting effects in photoshop:

Image


Bottom line- Blurred, possessed, dark or filtered, Sugar is always very sweet!

She is especially cute (and sweet!) in her green beard. :)

Spice is clearly thinking that you love those others more than him and Sugar's panicking has him worried that he's just had his last meal. What cuties!

Sugar is precious no matter the light. She's always a quality pig. I adore her sticky up hair.

Well, it's summer and siesta season is in full force.



Spice- showing his ability to sleep anywhere.

Image





Tweak- showing his versatility in the "customize your bed" category.

Image




On the fashion front, the legless look is definitely in this summer.


Sugar- demonstrating the Veronica Lake version.

Image




Tweak- showing it's a look that even the older generation can carry off.

Image




Spice, not quite mastering the latest trend.

Image

I think Sugar has been coaching him- the new improved version- demonstrating complete mastery of the trend. ( Note the look of nonchalance).

Yay! Legless Spice. What do you need those things for anyway?

They are gorgeous and I'm glad to hear they're doing well. I'm doing the siesta thing, too. The kids said they found grandma sleeping on the floor in the office. It's sietsa time in Akron, Ohiiiiooo...

Well, I decided that the Pumpkin Pie Gang needed a new group photo, so we did a little photo shoot this afternoon.


First I tried shortest in the middle, like so.

Image




Tweak and Spice were fine with this arrangement, but Sugar started to look wistful.

Image

Image



Apparently, she thought that she should have center stage.

Image



Here's that really bad shot that always happens when you're photographing a group.

Image



And- the good version.

Image




Snacks were served, to offset the boredom of posing.

Image

Image

Image



"Is he still crunching?"

Image

"Hey!"
