Heh heh, 'his bag is packed'. Not for long it's not! Yes, I know, I'm 12 in my head.

Best healing wishes, Bertie.

Boys! I had a Bertie once, he was a funny little chap.

Hope his surgery goes well.

A boy in the piggery!! Will wonders never cease? He is a cutie!

Hope mum's shoulder is healing & Bertie's little procedure goes smoothly.

Whoooo!! He's been done all is ok! He's had a nibble of a dandelion leaf but it still a bit quiet.

My mum said the vet was very really knowledgeable. They do pain relief before the op. And After. And he has 2 follow up appointments booked in for next week.

He reckons we should wait 6 weeks before Bertie can join me and his other wives. I think Flo, in particular, will be glad to hand over the responsibility of co-pig-in-chief!

Thank you for all your good wishes, your comments made us all feel happy!

I'm so happy to hear Bertie's surgery went well.

I'm wondering where you got his name from. I remember King George VI (Queen Elizabeth II's) father was know as Bertie. I think of him when I read of your Bertie. :)

Happy to hear it went well. And if what I read about your Mom is true, Bertie will be as good as new in no time.

Bertie was named after the little boy in Alexander McCall Smith's 'Scotland Street' books! My pig-parrots were both reading his latest book when Bertie appeared! Maybe Bertie could be a Prince Bertie, or Bertie Wheeker!

My mum' shoulder is dong well except last night she said she didn't sleep a wink for the ache in it. Daddy keeps saying not to over-do things but you know what it's like, some people just won't listen!

Bertie has just gobbled up his Critical Care, a dandelion leaf and a spot of Cavolo leaf. He is getting another topping up at 8pm.

So who was boss pig before Bertie came? And is there a chance he will be boss pig?

Well naturally he will THINK he is, but in the way of boar-sow dynamics, I'd think it would be unlikely he actually WILL be.

6 weeks is a long time! I can't remember, is that standard?

Four weeks is the longest I've heard.

Those are all good names for Bertie. I'm glad he's eating and that he has some follow-up visits to be sure the bits are healing properly. 6 weeks is a long time (I think my boy was 4) but better safe than sorry!
