Huey on a Saturday Morning

Yummy!!

Huey finds something tasty (you can see his curly quill in the first shot).

It's been a while....

Mom was having some technological issues, so it's been a while!!! But now that everything is back to 'normal', I thought it was about time to share some photos. Here's me during my weekend photo shoot. Dad got some really great shots.

Illusive Horatio

It is not often that Horatio allows himself to be seen.... awake or asleep. Some days he is just like mom and is overcome with sleep. He doesn't quite have the energy to disappear into the depths of orange iglooness.

Home Away From Home

Mom and Dad got back from a one week vacation recently. After a 45 minute bumpy, tummy upsetting ride, we all arrived at Grandma's house. Grandma, Grandpa and Tia Lisa took really good care of us while mom and dad were away. Mom said she missed us a lot and was afraid that we would forget who she was...... silly lady! Mom made sure to pack as much comfort into the car as she could fit for our stay at Grandma's. Once our travel crates were in, the car was packed! Who knew three hogs and their stuff could take up so much room!

Outdoor Adventure

Huey really enjoys being out in 'the wild'. He loves to run around in the bushy green grass, pretending to hunt for bugs and running around as the blades of grass tickle his tummy.

What's This?

Huey sniffing around the empty mealworm container....

Sleepy Hog Bottom

Hog Keychains

Mom's been getting crafty... check out the keychains she has made.

More Horatio

The results are back and Horatio has a confirmed bacterial bladder infection. He is to finish his dose of antibiotics and another sample of his urine will be tested in about 2-3 weeks. Here are some more pictures of my cutie!

Horatio Hog

My sweet little baby. Horatio is on a second dose of antibiotics. This time he is on Chlor Plam three times a day for 10 days. The blood in his urine has returned. He's been eating strictly Hill's c/d for about 3 weeks now. Mom and dad are waiting for the results of Horatio's urinalysis. They should hear back on Tuesday.

Sunny Sunday

Crazy Hog Feet

Mom simply can't get over the ways our feet & leg's move. She is in love with how cute they look. I don't get it....

Hairy Shark

We should have knocked on wood....

Horatio was sitting in mom's lap while she typed the last post. As she scooped him up to tell him how good he was being, this is what happened!

Horatio Hog

Horatio has recently gotten over a urinary tract infection (Hill's C/D did the trick). Mom wonders if this was maybe the cause of his moodiness lately. Once all traces of blood disappeared from his urine, so did some of his huffiness. Mom isn't brave enough to handle him bare handed just yet, as she wants to keep all the skin on her fingers intact. The good news is that he hasn't latched onto any of his blankets during snuggle time in the last few days. He also seems to be less aggressive in general. He even allowed mom to snap some photo's and smiled for the camera!

Cage Bottom

Since mom built us our new cages I've had the hankering to continually sleep under the cage liners. Bare belly on the cage bottom....mmmmmm.... nice! Mom has tried everything, including placing an area of coroplast underneath my once beloved igloo, trying to replicate the experience for me. I like it in there sometimes, but its just not the same. She will simply need to understand that I, like her, thrive on change.

Hungry Hog

Bath Time

Huey has a real blast during bath time. Mom filled the tub a little more than usual this time as Huey seems to always like hanging around the 'deep end' of the tub. She filled it just enough so there was swimming room in the deeper part. Huey swam like mad. He didn't want to come out. When mom tried scooping him out, he jumped out of her hands and right back in. It was so cute!!

Lazy Sunday

Fleece Jungle

***The edges of my box ARE NOT as sharp as they appear***

Adventures

I always love my pillow climbing and hog linen basket adventures.

Just Because

What a cute fuzzy belly.....

Huey wheels with perfect form...

The Cages Are Done!!!

Me and my boys moved into our new roomy cages. I love my two story pad. I've spent hours running up and down my ramp. I especially love poking my head through the cage. I always think I am going to be successful in squeezing myself through, but no luck. It's kind of freaking mom out, but she knows there is no way I am fitting through the new wire walls. Huey spent all afternoon running around in all his new space. Horatio, well........ he hasn't quite figured it all out and is a bit edgy and nervous about his move. He had stopped biting the last week or so, but started again today. It may all be too stressful for my sensitive little guy. He'll settle in soon enough!

Sleeping Quilly

New Cage

Mom's building us a new home!!!!!

Play Time

Huey's play time usually consists of a large running area, with minimal toy's that could turn into obstacles due to his blindness. He is very good at exploring his surroundings each time he is placed in his play pen and mapping out his route so that he doesn't run into anything. Today mom decided to add a lot of the same toy's and environmental stimulation that Horatio and I get. She kept a close eye on him, and as usual, he quickly managed to plot out his surroundings and ran around like a tiny round mad man for 3 hours!!!! He even had a ton of fun with the wooden log ramp.
