A huddle of day-old piglets. 
Eleven of them!



The unlucky mum, Honey.



And this is Runt Of Litter.
Rol for short.



Rol in one hand, camera in the other. 




He has the most gorgeous wee trotters.



I love my piggies :)

Awwwwww!!! Ooooh!!!! :-)))))))))))))))))) Words fail me. They are beautiful - all of them and especially wee Runty. Mum's looking good on it too. So clever. Now I have to go back and have another look...

Had my look. Rol sorry - not Runty. On second inspection, Honey looks a bit harassed - a bit cross-eyed!! Not surprising. I hope Rol hangs in there. I know he will be getting special treatment :-)))

lol Honey always looks like that. She is very whiskery with small eyes. Lovely nature. :)
I wouldn't say Rol has had special treatment hehe. The morning after they were born, Rol escaped the nest.
Honey had eaten breakfast and was settled in the nest feeding the babies. Rol couldn't get back through the mound of hay around the edge. For fear of disturbing Honey and causing mashed piglets, I snuck up, grabbed Rol and quickly tossed him back over. Crikey...pigs do fly! And in Rol's case, they somersault as well. But he had a soft landing...on Honey's milkbar!

Milkbar! Hope they are all still alive this morning...

They are adorable .. and the photos don't really show how much smaller roli is compared to his bro's and sisters :) Also his nose is not white like most of the others !

I'm with Jane. Too precious for words. Except to comment on their wonderful little wrinkly backs and bellies. Be still my heart. Tell Rol we're all rooting for him. Wilbur of Charlotte's Web was the runt, too.

How are Janey and her brood?

I've had family in town for Spring break. Back to blogging as soon as I recover :-)
