If you've looked at the link - well, I keep thinking about Hugo and his friend Linus who used to be called Vince (I must admit I'd like to call him Victor)!
But (on the ready to rehome page) there are a lovely pair Monty and Mike and also there's Pinball and Wizard, and also a pair called Tigger and Henry I havent located pictures of. At least one has an ear condition which makes him difficult to look after.
I'm going to ask her which she thinks she will have most trouble finding a home for, and then think about what special care might be needed and whether I have enough experience....
4 days to wait (this is much more exciting than Christmas!)

No, it's tomorrow - which might be today now  (Sunday.) I've located pictures of all of them on the website now. Tigger is Henry's dad - although he was 3 months and Henry a few weeks when the photo was taken! I'll be straight up here when I get back tomorrow...provided we're not snowed in. |

I am also wondering if she has worn her long jacket with the extra pockets inside  |

Well, I did wear my long jacket with the pockets inside, but mainly because it was still snowy from yesterday, although the main road was fairly clear and I could go the main road route to the rescue centre (as opposed to the minor roads route). I got there ok and had a look at the inside piggies which included Tigger and Henry - lovely little chaps, both very young, even though Tigger is Henry's dad..... Henry still only 3 weeks old and very tiny. We tramped across the snow to the shed, past the outdoor piggies well wrapped up in fleece and bubblewrap (with ventilation!) and she told me about the others and their little quirks. Then we looked at the ones I knew I really wanted, and, as it turned out, the ones she really wanted me to have as they had come in after their owners had been repossessed and they couldnt find a home with the piggies in tow. They hadnt been with her long and she wanted them to find a nice indoor home asap. "I dont suppose" she said, "you brought a carrier with you?". Had I brought a carrier with me....well, yes, funnily enough one HAD found its way into the car! So we did the paperwork and loaded them up and I brought them home...through blizzards and scarey white outs! The snow had got much worse in the hour I'd been there. We've had about two inches this morning. But the boys are safe in their new home.  (taken with flash - they both have dark eyes.) PS I would normally have had a homecheck, but because Fred & George came from the other rescue they were happy with that. But I took a photo of the set up with me anyway. She'll come and visit them in a couple of weeks to check up on them, which is good. |
