Poor Chester, he looks freaked out in the bloody nose picture. I still love Louis though!

I still adore Louis, but I feel so bad for Chester. I think Lou may have turned into a bully, but it's hard to imagine something so cute being so aggressive.

Poor piggy! I never knew they fought like that.

They're not supposed to. :-\

When you introduce new pigs, it'll take them a couple of weeks to sort out who's boss and then everything is fine from there on out. But even that "sorting out" isn't too physical--it's a lot of staring and humping attempts, nothing violent.

Poor piggy, indeed. :(

hi :-) I just added you back and am digging your interests. I am an almost-English-BA, whenever I go back to school.

Hiya. :) peachick thought that I'd enjoy your journal, and she's always right about such things, so there you have it. :)

Do you know when you're going back to school? I have yet to apply my English BA in the "real world," but I'm awfully proud of it. Anything in particular you want to do with yours?

The general plan (vague idea, whatever) is to go back when the kidlets are in school all day. I just want to FINISH so I can justify the loans I'm running from.

In my younger, more carefree days (heh) I wanted to work for a magazine doing some kind of editing/proofreading Stuff. I was English Ed, but after doing my first field experience realized I didn't have the passion kids deserve. Sooo...in short...I don't really know. I may get the degree, hang it all, and do something else like Nursing or Sign Language Interpretation. I'm kind of glad I don't have to decide just yet.

I thought Guinea Pigs were peaceful.

How is Chester doing now?

We separated them again. :-\ Chester's nose is healing, but he still has a skin irritation (unrelated). We're going to wait until he's completely healed before we re-introduce them again--no, that's not redundant. We don't know if that's part of the problem but we're running out of ideas.
