The Boar with the Biggest Smile



Mangal's been going around all week looking like the Cat that's got the cream.
Why?

Well, as of last Friday, he's got a new wife!
It must have come as quite a surprise to him 'cos all his life he's only known Ginger and they're as settled as Darby and Joan.
I was of the opinion that he was getting a bit long in the tooth for romance and wouldn't take too kindly to a new mate. Boy, was I wrong!

He's 4 years old and must
weigh 250 kilos but when Cherie was introduced to him the years and the weight just dropped away and - after she'd taken a few minutes to check out her surroundings and meet the new neighbours - they were all over each other.
In no time he was proving that he is a boar in the prime of life and far from the sleepy old chap we've grown used to!


We decided to leave them to it!

"Poor old Ginger" Linda exclaimed. But actually, although she did glance in Mangal's direction to see what he was up to, she was soon tucking into her tea without a care in the world. Her next litter is due in November so no doubt she's happy to be back in her own space without The Old Boar telling her what to do all the time.

As for Mangal....

within 24 hours it was clear that Cherie was the boss but he seemed quite happy with that..... in fact, he seemed quite happy with everything......
