This weekend sees our 1 yo boar reach his Sterile Phase so he can officially be bonded with his ladies.
We will put them out in the run while I empty the Pighouse, throw out all the bedding, clean and disinfect. Then while it dries, we'll set up the State of the Art Neutral Territory (aka the paddling pool) in the kitchen. (Also cleaned and disinfected after GP1 met GP3 in there)
Then, we'll bath them ( fun and games, DD has a hand in plaster) so I'll be washing them, she'll be on guinea-pig wrapping and towelling dry duty. They'll have some Gorgeous Guineas Shampoo to make them all smell nice and the same aroma.
Then we'll put a mahoosive pile of hay in the middle, some newspaper for them to walk on..........and stand back.
Today, DD and I cuddled the pigs. We sit on the floor, with GP3 on a blanket between us so he can mosey about and chat (if DH is home we have a pig each)
GP3 exchanged pleasantries with GP5, circling round her face with his nose, purring, then climbed up on my lap (I moved GP5 up onto my shoulder). GP3 sat on my lap, purring, then , little toad, peed on me. Alot
So, there will be pictures taken.
There will be cake (not for the guinea-pigs though, they can have a Special Layered Salad)
Then they (if all goes well) can go to The Pighouse. I'll move as much as I can to confuse GP3.
The girls will be at all the space.
They'll be Judgey won't they ?
