@CathMath27 Just Frankie being Frankie!

[Plum Pudding Pigs @plumpuddingpigs]

Frankie did out bound in the field and caught this little fella. Got him off her got her out of the field. Mole gripped ground so strongly but got him out and back to his burrow. That dog is sooooo quick!

[Plum Pudding Pigs @plumpuddingpigs]

@CathMath27 Oh no! Frankie is just terrible at hunting and scavenging the list is long.... pheasant moles mice voles. Brought home fox tail then a dead fox cub and a deer's leg. Glad I saved one mole even if they do dig up garden!

[Plum Pudding Pigs @plumpuddingpigs]

He was frantically digging to get away

[Plum Pudding Pigs @plumpuddingpigs]

And he's up for his tea! Whew!

Alfie my very senior boar. He's nine but getting deaf and a bit stiff. Still spring piglets. But didn't get up for his food last night. Gave some pain relief and he passed the apple test.this morning breakfast in bed..

[Plum Pudding Pigs @plumpuddingpigs]

Coco struggled a bit in the heat yesterday and took a time to pop out the piglets. Had to go in and assist this one out . He was a fatty came out bottom first.

@CookO2 Mmmm not everyone is a good mama but not through breeding. Had one who ripped the metal creep off the wall and hated her piglets. Motherhood was not for her. Her sister was a sweetheart

There is always one..........
