I was not going to post this morning. I like to take one day off from the blog a week – I I give myself a wee sleep in. But then yesterday afternoon I saw this. This is a milestone in WaiWai’s recovery. You need to see this.
Tane and Wai sleeping together in the sun.
This is very good to see. Wai is learning to trust again.
Until Tima comes back, of course.
I hope you have a good day. There is snow on the ground again this morning, so I am glad everyone got a little sun yesterday. Right now at 6.15 am it is 31F/0C
Love celi

Wow! This is amazing! Such progress and all thanks to your patience and determination. Yay!!!
He has done well – hasn’t he. And Tane is a nice boy.
A bit more than a day ..you deserve to have time off for yourself…otherwise blogging becomes a chore rather than a pleasure ( there speaks one who gave up blogging years ago) Seriously you do need time for yourself and as much as we appreciate all that you do..we do realise that you are human and you need rest. So lay in bed an extra hour…put your feet up…have a snooze…THEN. Tackle the farmy
Lots of love
I have been blogging for almost 6? Years now and it has NEVER been a chore. So rest assured – I would not write if I did not want to.
I appreciate what *both* of you said here! I think Miss C and I started nearly at the same time, and I, like Patrecia, stopped when it became a bit onerous after 4 1/2 years daily. I’m amazed at the 6+ years you’ve put in with such passion and artistry, Celi!! And it’s moments like little Mr. Wai’s that often make the journey and the journaling both so worthwhile and shareable. Thanks for what you do, C, and to Ms. P: your presence here in the Fellowship is part of what makes it all so rich, too.
Cheers, and a happy—and restful—day to all!

Oh and l forgot to say how wonderful it was to see Wai so relaxed….
Good boy, WaiWai 🙂
Yes – he is a strong character – he will have a good summer I hope – though those last open patches need to close before the flies come. I wonder if the tissue was forever damaged in these areas.
Never would have thought Wai would live to see this day. Unbelievable, Celi! You’re a miracle worker.
You know what this means? You’ll have to hide the keys to all of the farmy’s vehicles lest the 2 Bros decide to go carousing some Saturday night.
TRUE! On the 4 wheeler!! What a cartoon picture that would be! c
Wai is in a good place. He is healed and now he has friends. 🙂
If only Tima were a nicer pig!
That is GREAT!!
Yes – i was so surprised and had to creep up to the fence to get the shot so you all could see. c
What wonderful news and pictures of wai, wai…you have done a brilliant and loving job with him, as you do for the rest of your animals celi…well done.
You so deserve a lie in too x
Oh I get plenty when I go away on my jaunts! It is such a quiet period on the farmy – I am storing up energy and getting fit for the onslaught next week.
Hum, seeing Tane next to TIma and Wai really shows how svelte he is for a boar. I’m playing catch-up this morning as we had an estate sale this weekend and I’m sore in every muscle in my body I think. So sorry for the loss of the piggy. This winter is definitely hanging about – we were 84 on Friday and high on Saturday was 34! Needless to say – the cold kept many away from the sale so we will do a repeat this coming weekend.
Boo playing with his squeaky gave me a good laugh this morning too. i just adore that silly nut of a dog.
It is because he is a cripple that he is so small. He cannot build muscle or roam as far to find food. c
So wonderful!
Yes I think so – Good Morning Charlotte.. c
fantastic Waiwai! Snows enough now, hope this is the last fall now. Laura
There is no more snow forecast though we still have some pretty cold nights ahead – and a few really warm ones! So really who knows..
That is exciting! Thank you for sharing that. I hope you get a little rest time later, a tiny nap, an extra cup of tea??
I love seeing Wai’s soft-looking hair. All that armor is long gone. I thought I read a while back that his diet was proceeding slowly and you planned to work on it all summer (?) Your hard work rewarded!
Oh, and I was wondering about the piglets you are getting in to raise. You mentioned their markings are wrong. I was wondering what that meant-were they going to be show animals?
Wishing you a wonderful day.
Yes. They are bred as show hogs- and are sold for extreme amounts of money. But the rejects I buy for 50 dollars- they are already a good size- so I hoping he has some left over for me
I don’t think Wai will ever get to like Bad Tima, if that growling we heard before was anything to go by, but I do love the photo of the two Good Ole Boys lying companionably together in the sun. You’ve brought Wai such a long, long way down the healing road, I can’t see why those last patches wouldn’t heal in time too. One day, he’ll be a whole pig.
Yes – as long as they heal before fly season – this cold weather has been very good fr his healing. c
aawww way to go Wai!!! I’m so glad that he is learning to trust and love again!! You did that my friend ❤ Sending you many, many hogs and snout kisses. You're amazing. XOXO – Bacon
Straight back at ya’ Bacon!
The pair of them are dear little pigs. Tima looks twice the size of Tane.
Tima IS Twice the size too – the big fattie. She will lose it over the summer when she can graze again.
