We bought a pig yesterday. She hasn't come home with us yet as she has another three weeks with her mum, but we paid the deposit and named her, " Martha ". She is a miniature pig, which if you ask me is a little misleading as miniature pigs still grow up to be quite big, just not monstrous huge...you can train them like dogs too, so that's a bit exciting.Naboo also has a little brother, a Jack Russell, the squire bought to be a chum for my Naboo. The squire named his dog " Dickson " and he is like a little piglet himself at the moment. The people we got him from said he was six weeks old, but we think they were fibbing. His eyes are STILL milky as if they haven't been open long, and when the squire went to collect him the whole house including the puppies were in such a state grossness and filth. I question people who don't care for their animals, just see them as a money maker. He is much better off with us I am sure.
Naboo " takes care " of him...sort of. I will put a photo of Dickson up when I get one.
Had a big weekend. The squire and I are not party animals at all, but this weekend we had three in two days and today we are tired. No more for a while, we can't cope.
However I have to say, the dinner party we went to the other day was so lovely. Fairy lights in the trees, big candles round the perimeter of the table...divine !
