I have to disagree about your photos. They are super exciting. Pictures of your cute, clean, happy piggies are always super exciting.

Dang, I need to be better about posting!
Boar herd is doing well - The only bump in the road recently has been having to separate.
I thought I had a magical unicorn of a herd, with 4 intact males all getting along. Wrong!
Lately, someone has been chirping, and we had one injury to my sweet Hufflepuff pig, AJ. Someone chomped down on his ear, and he understandably pulled away, creating this:

I wrote it off as an accident, and all was *mostly* well for the next couple of weeks (aside from the normal tussles)
Last week, the SAME thing happened to the SAME pig, other ear. :(

We decided to separate (for now) and tried a few different combos, until realizing that he was bullied in all situations. We are now a two cage household, with a very happy lone pig, and a boar trio. *sigh*
Boar trio is housed in a 2x4 C&C, attached in an L shape to a 2x3 C&C. AJ is now in a 2x3. There is no more chirping, or hiding in the hay feeder:

I surmise that the chirping was AJ, and was stress related. While a cute, unique sound, husband was tired of a 2am wake up call from the pig room :)
Once we make it to a new page, lest I get shamed, I will post wedding pictures!!

His ears are both all healed, thankfully, and he is really enjoying being alone. His personality has grown quite a bit in the last week :)
Okay, I will now spam you with wedding pictures, as requested!
It was a cold, cold (14 degree) day in Iowa, and we had our first snow that day. You can see it in some of the pictures.

Last but not least, the most amazing, adorable flower girl of all :)
It was an amazing day :)
