The farm additions for the month of April are two new piggies, Pia and Percy. They came to us rather unexpectedly, as many of our animals seem to do.
Sadly, Fleur, our first pig had to be placed in a new home away from lots of people as her biting escalated in the past few months and we began to worry that she might cause someone (especially a child!) serious harm. Her last unprovoked attack on a friend left such a large wound and bruise that we could no longer run the risk.
The very same day we made the decision to let her go, we received a phone call asking if we knew of a home for two black pigs, an older female who is very sweet and was fed way too much pizza as a piglet, and a young six month old male who is shy and cute as can be.
Synchronicity yet again!
So yes, we cried a lot of tears saying goodbye to Fleur Piggy, but we were also very happy to be able to say yes to these two pigs and give them a new home here.
