A Wink and a Wheek
Mo here.
Boy, we haven't updated in here in awhile. Talk about slacking...well, I'll fill you in on what's happened the past year.
First, the biggest news was I lost my buddy Bear.
He had been having problems peeing for awhile and he had an "op-er-ay-shun" to help. Mama said it was for his "blah-der stons". He was really sick, though, and he didn't live too long after the surgery. He died on mama's birthday, so we were all really sad for awhile. That was in April.
In May, things got really crazy around here. Mama & Papa kept putting everything in boxes and did lots and lots of cleaning. We ended up in a whole new house! Papa told us that we were no longer renters but owners. I honestly don't know what that means, but I know that it involved a lot of loud noises & lots of rearranging. This was when for a bit I lived with Mortar. We got along for about a month or so. Mama & Papa even took us on a pignic during a nice day in the summer:
We eventually had to be separated, though. I like him and all, but he just wouldn't leave me alone. His hair is all weird and short & mine is long & flowy. I think I just really missed Bear & preferred to be left alone. So we became neighbors instead, which worked fine for me. We shake our butts in each others' general direction from time to time.
I eventually found out what all the loud crazy noises were all about in the new house...

They were tearing apart the bathroom! Here's what it looked like before. Well, while Papa was tearing it apart.
They gutted it.
It took them a few months, but it's mostly done. Mama pitches a fit sometimes & says things like "we need to finish the dam crown molding!" but I have no idea what that means.
We pigs were all glad when that was mostly done, though. Then of course, things got all exciting again when Mama brought home a new brother. She saw him on the humane league's website and she had to go check him out. And of course she brought him home, without consulting us OR Papa! The nerve, right? I guess it worked out for the best, b/c he ended up being kinda coo. His name is Randall.
He's good to have around for when Mama & Papa are in snuggly moods and I'm not, b/c Randall likes to snuggle. He'll even let them reach into the cage to be pet & given scritches! Silly.
Randall joined the family in July. Before we knew it the holidays were here. And that meant it was time for the obligatory photo shoot.

Yeah yeah, happy holiday and all that stuff. Santa brought me a CAMO TENT! YES! It's awesome. I'll have to make sure Mama takes a picture of it.

Hi. This is Randall. I'm new to this, so please excuse my potentially very poor typing.
Well guess what. I got a new brother last night. It all happened rather quickly and unexpectedly. Mama had asked me the other night if I wanted a little brother, but I laughed it off knowing fully well that my older brothers & neighbors where already a handful. Wouldn't you know that she wasn't kidding. He's about three weeks old, and his name is Sanford.
He came from a friend who had inherited an unplanned pregnancy. Sanford was the only boy & Mama agreed to take him. I have to say, it hasn't been all that long but I think I like him. He's awfully tiny. I like keeping an eye on him and showing him how to munch on the greens and properly shake one's behind at their boar neighbor. He's already running zoomies & popcorning. I'm very proud. Mama is hoping that we really bond so that we'll be forever brothers. I think I hope so too.

Randall here again. Thank you! I admit I've had a little practice typing. My brothers & I have a Twitter thingy & I've ended up doing more of the tweet wheeking than the others. We're TheKlotzyPigs.
