                I will totally be on the lookout for a safe tiny dragon toy to put in Hagrid’s hut.

                          Curses! Incoming dust storm = poor visibility in the desert = not safe to bring Hagrid today.
                          The shelter will try again Saturday afternoon. *Whaaaaa!*

                                      Aaand he’s home.

                                      He was soaked in pee after the long drive, so we did a bath first thing. He scolded me throughout the whole process, but once I wrapped him up in a towel to warm up and cuddled him until he was dry, he started crooning to me, so I think I’m forgiven.

                                      Sadly, his nails are so long they’re nearly curling up on themselves, and it must be awfully uncomfortable, if not downright painful, but in a day or two, once he’s more confident in his new surroundings, mommy will trim them. Until then, he has a nice thick layer of soft fleece to walk on.

                                      Chewie is super curious and parked his fluffy butt by Hagrid’s hut to observe him tunnel about under the hay, after which he scampered to the nearest rug and did some crazy binkies, so I think he’s happy to see his friend again.

                                      Once the smaller hutch he came in has been thoroughly cleaned (just not today, since I’m still tired from this stupid virus), I’m going to figure out a way to attach it to the bigger hutch so he can have two “rooms” in his dominion.

                                        Aww yay!! Just look at how cute he is. He is in wonderful caring hands now and I’m sure he will settle in very well. So excited and happy for you

                                          Yaaaay – new piggie in the BB family !!!!!
                                          Euh Q (“my name is Bond…”) , just a word of advice from a BB friend (me!), you are going to have to put that lovely bobble hat through a VERY hot wash to get it to fit Hagrid’s head !!
                                          (We had two piggies when I was young – one was called “Branston” and the other … can you guess…? “Pickle” !! )

                                                  You silly. Hagrid has a hut not a hat!

                                                  Some inspiration for you.

                                                              Choco and Latte both maintain pig-struction is far more thorough than bun-struction, though of course the bunnies disagree. One thing is for sure, with the six of them, I have a full demolition crew!

                                                              And I’m fully confident Hagrid won’t let the pig-struction team down

Someone must have seen Hagrid the day he was delivered and complained because I got an email this week saying absolutely no rodents in the building (my building is owned by my employers) so he needs to return to the shelter.

                                                                        And he was just starting to do zoomies and popcorns and wheek wheek while standing up for me to pick him up and cuddle him.

The shelter picked Hagrid up and Chewie and I are now living a way-too-quiet life without him. Chewie seems to miss his cute wheekwheeking and cooing too – he is sniffing around “looking” for him.
