I've had a couple of times in my life when I knew I wanted to wind down with pigs, at least for a while. And that can be difficult if you get left with a solo pig who doesn't thrive being on their own. But if you're still loving everything about having them in your life then there's certainly no point thinking about that day! Any cage rearranging coming? Any chance if combining all the piggies, yet, or still not happening? I don't think Tissue is likely to change her personality anytime soon! Her and Reginald would definitely not get on, Reginald is quite a dominant character and wouldn't put up with her nonsense.

That's been my plan, too. When one dies, get another one. Problem is, if one dies, the other could be not too far behind, so I'd rather not be constantly getting new pigs, but get more than two, so there are always two left. That way I don't have to hurry to fill the gap. I've wanted to go up to Turkey Hill Rescue in Vermont, a bit of a hike from here, to say the least, but they neuter all the males, so all we have to do is find one who works with the girls, and we have a threesome. I'm working on it, mentally, as it is a long trip, and we'd have to take the girls up and back, with their new boyfriend with them on the way back. If there were a good guinea pig vet, that I knew of, anywhere near me, it wouldn't be as bad if they got mites. Having to drag the poor babies over an hour each way to Massachusetts just to get Ivermectin is asking a bit much of them So I keep thinking about options, but don't do anything. At this point, I think it would have to be a male, because Noodles and Oodles are so closely bonded, I don't think another female would work. Never know!

They can definitely surprise us either way with who they choose for a mate! I found (I say found as I didn't take it!) this picture of the group of girls, after we'd delivered some hand picked grass on a 'not going out' day a couple of weeks ago - from L-R Bertie, Biscuit, Rocky and Reginald. Don't want to leave out Tissue who was out for a gad about in the living room in this one (also my daughter's, not mine)!

Love that picture of the four of them, Bean. Sigh... Rocky will be missed.

I do often think of him when she's tearing around being a giddy plonker! Not so much when she's sitting quietly watching the world go by or being really sweet to the others, as that wasn't so much Josh's bag!

A photo of Biscuit enjoying the grassy nest they got for Christmas! It's very popular with them and they haven't really weed in it yet (much to my surprise), I hope to get a snap of all of them in it over the next week!

We didn't manage to sneak up on Bertie quite so well, the head came up to see what we were playing at (or if we might have food)!

And we have another piggy birthday approaching this weekend! Getting a picture of Reginald in the basket is proving trickier - you should be able to make out at least one eye!

Oh sorry for my phrasing, Reg isn't the birthday girl - it's Tissue's 5th birthday tomorrow. No signs of her mellowing with age, she's still a total nutter, but a lovely one!

And from me too!
Happy birthday Tissue!
I think she knows, she looks very pleased with herself this morning and is currently running some zoomies, occasionally disappearing into her box to have an animated chunter to herself (the box is bobbing up and down!).
