The sad reality of having livestock is that sometimes you have dead stock!!
It's piglet time on my wee farm again and today I had to make the decision to take a baby away from it's mum and feed it myself.
The poor wee thing surely is not getting enough milk from mum and it resembles a little old man with baggy skin.
I should be able to tell if there's actually something wrong with it or it's just hungry in a couple of days. It will either pick up or get worse!!!
It's lively and feisty, it keeps trying to bite my fingers, luckily I have gloves lol.
He is residing in a cat cage in front of the fire, sleeping right now but it's close to feeding time again - every 2 hours OMG I'm in for a long night.
Wish me luck!!!
Thanks for dropping by..
oh myyyyyyyyyyyy he is so precious!!!! :)
look at all his cute little hair hehehehe oh i hope he makes it! i don't know how you would deal with him getting sicker!
Momma Andy! hehehehe

You got me looking to see if I've done any pig pictures - this might be one but I'm not sure - I have no idea who steers my pen!

Aw, he's so adorable! Though I imagine by 4am, he'll be seeming much less cute.
