Following in the family traditions....

It's become our habit to give each new litter a generic name - Chefs,Tots, Nuts, Gems, Stars etc - then naming the individuals accordingly within the group. Hence, Ginger's latest litter are named The Spices - we have Cayenne and Paprika for the red pair and Cumin and Coriander for the blondes.

She's been keeping them fairly close to home most of the time, but piglets will be piglets and despite her best attempts the little Spices have been exploring the world outside their pen.... which is easy at their age - like their prececessors, they just walk through the fence! Despite our efforts to stop them --- note the roof tiles this side of the fence which we put there thinking that might deter them.... but despite their young age they just push them over and walk through.........

It's difficult to know from this picture whether Ginger is telling the last one to go or stay but clearly Gunner is in control of the situation on the other side of the fence. He just posts himself on guard and the little ones go no further! He does nothing but look and eventually they trot back home to mum.....

Excellent pig dog!
