I finally got my pigtures onto the computer. I've been hanging around for a couple weeks already! Shame on me.
I took a lot of time building the cage, which was promptly rearranged after the piggies got here.
About me: I'm a 27-year-old stay-at-home mom of one two-year-old boy who very much loves animals of any size and shape. I had a cavy when I was younger, my mom got her for me when I was about 5 or 6, and then faked her death when I was 9 because my grandparents didn't approve of her, saying that they carry diseases. This would have been a non-issue if my grandparents weren't coming to live with us for a few months when my grandmother was very sick. She was a rust-colored Peruvian named Punkin.
The piggies!
Both of my pigs were adopted from Arizona Piggie Poo Rescue, and had been cagemates (not sure if they are actual brothers). They were obtained from a Petco seizure of underage piggies. Their original names were Wyatt & Kody.
About Sergeant Stripes: Sarge is a black and red teddy mix. He is mostly black with two reddish-orange spots. The picture of him in the Sprite box is his first day in his new home. He hides a lot (almost earned him the name Sir Hide-a-lot), but is also very bossy.
About Lieutenant Dan: Dan is a black and red teddy mix. He is mostly black and has a couple stripes of red on his back/sides. He is most commonly found in the litter box or on the brick under the water bottle. Sarge bosses him around quite a bit, but the Lieutenant challenges him right back nowadays.
With that said, they've been fighting a lot the last two days. I whipped out the camera and took some more pictures.
Now Lieutenant Dan is almost protecting Sarge... but there's nothing like bright flashing lights to bring them back together again!
