It was a sad weekend for us. Our oldest piggie, Rebel Rebel, who we adopted earlier this year, passed away on Saturday night. He had been very sick for a couple of days, and despite a lot of snuggling and hand-feeding, he withered away to a little bag of fur and bones. He never seemed to be in any pain, thankfully, but we are grateful that he is now at peace. From what we could gather, he had a hard life before we took him in, so we only hope he was happier during his time with us.

My husband came up with the great idea to use cinder blocks as a base instead of more grids. This way the cage wouldn't be so tall (it's 3 stories!) & it would be sturdier. Sometimes he is so much more clever than I!
This past weekend, we got all the supplies together: the cinder blocks, a piece of carpet to put under them to protect the main carpet, some wood to support the upper levels. I was super-excited to finish off Pigtopia and get the boys in their lofts and move the Princess...
