Today my piggy pen is empty, but not for any sad reason. It's for a very exciting reason. Ruby and Cecil are spending a few days with Suzy at the rescue with a view to meeting some new friends. Since Marigold went they have been quieter and shyer than they have been for a long time. Ruby in particular has been very reluctant to let Cecil out of her sight and hasn't been able to relax at lap time. She used to snuggle down and snooze for ages, but these days all she wants to do is return to the pen.
So if all goes well, in the next few days I will have a pen full again and hopefully Ruby will make a special friend that will help her feel like her old self.
They are currently next door to a group of 4 girls, a mum and auntie who are 1 and the mum's two daughters who are 7 months. They will meet them in person tomorrow. If this group doesn't work out there are plenty of others to meet, so I am fairly confident that they will find some piggies they like.
It will be Ruby's choice, as Cecil is very easy going around sows and loves them all!!
I hope they will be home by Sunday, or very shortly after, and once the pen has settled I will report back!
