Bleys Marco Piggo's Page

We adopted Bleys from the Fairfax Animal Shelter on October 23, 1999. He was about 1 month old, so I set September 15, 1999 as his birthday. He is a tri-color absynnian. He is also a little snuggle pig. He loves to crawl up into my hair or on my shoulder and snuggle up to my neck. His hobbies are exploring, snuggling, streching out on my lap and munching hay.

Judi had posted an urgent message to the GPDD letting us know that the shelter had 20+ pigs, some of which were so young they shouldn't have been separated from their mom. I had been thinking about getting just one more pig, so I decided to help out. Bleys just stood out as being a sweet, loving little baby so I had to take him home with us.

Bleys has moved around a bit in our cages. He was a bachelor living alone for a while. After Pika died, he moved in with Harry. Now that Harry has died, we have moved Willow in with him. Since Bleys is such a social guy, we figured it would be best to get him another friend. We took him down to Mary's (Cavy Companions) to see if one of her pigs up for adoption would work out with him. We had our eye on Willow, but were afraid that she would be too dominant for Bleys. Well, to our surprise, Willow deferred to Bleys and he treats her like the princess she is. It is truly a match made in heaven. (Except on the occassional day when Bleys gets a bit randy...Ahhh, l'amour.)
