The girls arrived in New Hampshire yesterday, and we're picking them up at the rescue tomorrow afternoon Noodles was wheeking, earlier. I think she just gets bored and lonely. Vic was out of the room, and I was sitting on the couch, so she couldn't tell if we were around. I think she'll be really glad to get a couple of silly little girls to share Pigloo City with her

Oh my, so next time I come on they'll be there with you! And there might be photos? Exciting!

The babies are home. They are adorable. They love Noodles, and she loves them. We tipped over the HMS Piggy Wiggy, so I could get some pictures. I'd forgotten how hard it is to get pics of babies. They are fast! Not a long trip over to the Pipsqueakerey, and I finally got to meet my Facebook friend, Danni 🤗 I hadn't realized she was so close. Her town looks further away on the map. We're naming the girls Pip and Sqeak, after the rescue, but haven't decided which one is which 💝

Wow! One of them closely resembles Oscar/Stilgar!!! (It's the black posterior with the white stripe and tan shoulder patch!) I'd love to see more of them!

Oh hurray, they're home! They're adorable, and so tiny! They look very busy... Glad Noodles has taken to them too, she won't get a minute to herself now!

Not one cross word among them since the babies joined Noodles. She's kind of turned her head sharply to discourage Pip from taking food out of her mouth, and Pip just went on as if nothing happened, lol Squeak is a bit more shy, but not of people in general, just of taking food from my fingers. Pip took it, no problems. Whomever did the fostering did a fantastic job I will try to get some good pics tomorrow, when I clean Pigloo City, as I'll have all the furniture out of there. They are so fast, it's really hard to get a good picture I moved one water bottle, and the bowl of pellets, to under the loft, and the babies started using them right away. Squeak still hasn't gotten into treats time. I scattered the veggies on the hay, and it took her a while to check them out. Then she'd take one, and go back into the HMS Piggy Wiggy to eat it. Pip is right in there trying to get all she can, lol Noodles just takes a nap periodically, and let the girls go about their business

Babies are so oblivious to rules and power plays, even if Noodles did feel the need to put her paw down, they'd probably totally miss it! And they'll all be used to each other before any hormones come into play, so hopefully it will be plain sailing.
Sounds like they are settling in really well, and I can imagine that watching them is giving you both a lot of amusement!

So much cuteness in such tiny packages! I'm so glad they are settling in well. Congrats on the new kiddos!

I really hope you can get a closer shot of their faces; I'm curious to see the pattern on them- especially the one that resembles Stilgar!

They're so sweet. It's funny seeing Noodles look big, as I always think of her as a more delicately sized pig - not sure why since you've never mentioned their weights, maybe it's because she and Oodles looked a bit like my Bertie, who is a relatively small pig?!

Oodles was my wide load. She was a big girl, so compared to her, Noodles was the skinny one. Now she's the big pig, and her two adoring fans are so tiny Squeak finally took a piece of endive from me. Pip had, but Squeak wasn't sure she wanted to do that. She's also not as big a fan of fennel as Pip is, so not as quick to snarf it down when I give it to her. I've stopped using the big bowl I used for the girls treats, and am sprinkling the treats on the hay. The first time I put the bowl in the cage, Squeak didn't get much, as she didn't know what it was. Pip was with Noodles, who did know what it was, but Squeak was at the other end of the cage. I also, if Squeak is under the loft at the other end of the cage, just scoot her down to the food, so she gets her share. I'm giving them quite a variety of treats, and the treats are always all gone, though I'm not sure who's eating what. We give them veggies when we sit down to eat at the table, so we're not really watching them except to make sure everyone is getting some. I will try, Baz, as Squeak's face is quite interesting

I know Noodles is happy now, but the look on her face in those pictures seems to say, "So... it has come to this..."

She looks like she's trying to keep an eye on both of them at the same time, and failing!

This is the best pic of Squeak, so far. I'll try to get one of Pip. Hubby took her out for a photo shoot, then he kept moving 🤪

What a cutie! I had a Squeak with a white stripe and a white belly band nearly 40 years ago.

Aww those photos are adorable! Pip is a real cutie and it's clear how loved she is. The ginger big over her left eye made me think of Harry Potter's lightning scar haha!

The latest iteration of Pigloo City 🤗 The girls love it, running through the maze from end to end, wheeking the whole time 🤗 Also, both babies are using the lofts, so all the food and water is up on the lofts, again. They grow up so fast 🤗
