PIGS
Gigi,
was a 2007 Christmas surprise, and when we took her home on the 24th of December she was only about 2 weeks old. She had been found running around on a road by some people who worked at BA stores, where we buy our animal food. They took her to the shop and we took her home. She had badly damaged eyes a we thought she may even have lost one. It looked like she had fallen off a lorry, being transported for weaning. She was quite thin and cold, she was fed, intially on a universal milk mix and thrived, although she took weeks to wean. We finally got her to eat bananas and bread, but she wouldn't look at pig mix. She lived it the house for 3 weeks. Sleeping in a dog crate and running round the bedroom when we were in. However she got too big and had to finally move outside, into the small hay shed.
Scarlet,
became Gigi's new friend. She is, we think, a gloucestershire old spot cross tamworth, and is about the same age as Gigi. She was destined to be meat, but she came home instead and has turned into a very loving pig. She will roll over onto her side and shut her eyes with bliss if you rub her tummy.
