We had a bittersweet time at the fair this past weekend. We took 7 piggies-Din, Gru, Lenny Peso, Eve, Lux, Chocolate and Siren. Everyone showed great, but Siren unexpectedly passed away. We do not know what happened as he was fine the night before-he was lethargic in his cage and had a ton of diarrhea and passed shortly after we got there the next morning. We are devastated that this happened.
All piggies showed well. Lux, Chocolate and Siren were on “exhibit” since I’m a 4-H Alumni, but Eve, Din, Gru and Lenny Peso all received blue ribbons. Din was BOB Teddy, and RIS! Gru also got a BOB.
Lux and I participated in parent showmanship and got Reserve! It was a lot of fun and he’s finally figured out the showboard!
I also took my display of therapy guinea pigs and it got a ribbon for outstanding exhibit!
