Updates!

This is a recap of what has been going on at GPF lately:
1. Ted got adopted and is now living the good life in SF.
2. The dynamite duo got adopted! The two black and white babies are now living in an awesome cage with tons of items that were purchased for them. Bet they will be spoiled beyond belief!
3. More black and white pigs! This time they are adult males. However, they are not healthy like the two babies. They have a very bad case of mites along with a fungal infection. Both are receiving intensive care. They have stopped having seizures but Oscar still shrieks out in pain every time he scratches.
4. Baby, who was pulled from a shelter that partners with my local shelter, is now bonded to another male and hoping for a new home soon. His dad was treated for a skin problem when he first arrived but Baby kept biting him so there were separated. Buster's hair and skin looks great now.
5. When Baby went to the local shelter Mr. Piggles was brought back here. He is an older pig so he was bonded with Lucky, who is also an older male. (See photo above.)

Emma's checking out the cottage once again!

It's fine, Emma! It's fine! Go eat some hay! Wheek! [Emma wasn't quite sure about being closed in so she kept trying to pop the cottage cover off. Now she loves it and leaves it alone. Thanks, Marsha!]

New photos of Pippa and Morka

Guess who took them? Not me! Wheek! [The people who obtained Morka and Pippa emailed and asked about them so I took some updated photos for them.]

Finally ... Bif has a cage mate!

Way to go, Bifaroo! Wheek! [Bif was one of three "sisters" who ended up being males. All three did not seem to get along so they were split up. Bif was neutered after no one adopted him. He was tried with Rosie but he seemed to stress her out. He was also tried with Izzy and Emma. Emma is the one who ended up staying with him since she put his amorous ways to rest when she squirted him in his face with urine. Emma is the tricolor Silkie on the right in the photo; Rosie is in the middle.]

Daisy got adopted ...

For the second time! [Daisy was adopted last year to be with another female but she started harassing her cage mate so she came back a few months ago. She was tried with other females here but it did not work out. Let's hope it's her forever home this time around!]
