Jude was collected yesterday. I decided to send Tima with him to his new home so he will have company until they get another pig or maybe even a couple of goats. Tima is if course only on loan but both pigs walked onto their trailer and waved goodbye without a backward glance.
As usual it was so busy and exciting getting them both loaded that I forgot to document his exit for you.
But here are a few shots of Jude in his new home.

I am a lot happier about this arrangement now that he has Tima with him.
Ann his new boss is so excited to finally get him into her property- the gardens are associated with U of I and a number of schools in the Champaign area so they are both going to be busy with visitors.
Here is Ann with her box of treats. She has known Jude since he was a newborn orphan you can see the delight in her face!
Tane is pretty delighted too. He is used to being bowled over by Tima and usually hides in his room to eat – yesterday afternoon he literally ran across the field to have his dinner.
It is cold again. Molly is still in one piece and back to her usual bouncy self. Yesterday I set up her baby monitor. One more very cold night and she has my permission to have her piglets.
I think she has a few more days to go.
I running out of battery fast so I will publish this and talk soon.

When I read ‘Jude and Tima’ my mind was doing big leaps….oh no, gosh, is he mature enough’……you know, along those lines…has Jude white anted his mate? Glad there was a simple explanation and they’ve just gone on an adventure together. Good for Jude, he’ll be in his element and Tima might not want to come home.
awww we are all going to miss Jude! You did such a wonderful thing for him as did the abattoir employee so many months ago!
You’ve made me so happy by sending Tima along with Jude! He will settle in to his new home now, without missing everyone. So good.💕
Nice work sending Tima with Jude as his big sister. Last few days we had a cold snap too, down to winter temps… bit of a shock to the system.
Yes, well – delightful, but will Tima want to be separated back a while down the track? So Jude has gone ‘posh’ associated with the U of I !! Can see him becoming a poster-boy during your coming summer . . . as long as we get some photos . . .
Oh, how I love making a fool of myself 🙂 ! Small litter for Molly – five to seven . . . any other guesses . . . ?
Sounds like a perfect home for Jude. And he got to take a friend. I hope you can let yourself be proud for saving him.
Yet another day of excellent news all round!! March is out like a lion and let April begin!!!
