This weekend, we went to the 4-H Rabbit Workshops and- "pig" surprise- came home with a piggy. Welcome "Penelope" to the caviary! She is an american baby sow with a fur fault called "angel wings," which puts a couple rosettes on her back. Her breeder, a show friend of ours, was looking for a pet home for her, and Mikey needed another sow to hang out with Nightwheek. Right now she is about three weeks old, and Nightwheek seems to think shes's her baby sister. We named her after a hamster from an old television show, Hamtaro. She looks a lot like Penelope , a little brown and white hamster who likes to wear a blanket over herself.
