Welcome Baile.

She's my new little pig.  I picked her up today, and I'm guessing that she's a week or two younger than Reese.  She's a mixture of dark grayish-brownish, light brown, and white.  When I saw her, she made me think of dunes(don't ask my why, that's simply what I thought).  So when I got home, I looked up the names of famous dunes world-wide.  I saw two dunes in Scotland that had names I felt drawn to.  The first was Fervie, which I still think is a cute name, and the second was Baile.  I teetered back and forth with the names.  Then I stood and looked at her(and she at me) and I said to her, "you look like a Baile, so I'll name you that."  ^_^

This is the best pic of her that I took today.  I didn't want to take too many pics, because I didn't want to frighten her.  I need to get a good pic of her other side.  She has a white patch over her back left leg.  I've held her a few times so far.  She's very rambunctious, and if I don't keep careful hold of her, she'll run right off my shoulder!  If she sits on my arm and I pet her, she'll stay still, but I can't rest for a moment.  Not like Reese, who'll plant himself against my neck and stay there.

She's still very shy and frightened, so I'm trying to not bother her too much.  The same can't be said for Reese.  He's VERY noisy!  He kept chewing on the bars of his cage in an attempt to get at her(not a good thing when the bars are vertical)!  I had to put up a barrier between their cages, so that he can't see inside her cage.  She needs to be left alone, not screamed at by a little horndog.  ;P

Even so, I made a VERY bad choice earlier.  I decided to let them meet.  I hoped that they'd(okay, Reese) would calm down afterwards(boy was I wrong!!).  Yes, they are boy and girl, so I kept a very close eye on them.  They stayed away from each other for a minute but she finally came over to him.  They sniffed at each other a little, then I make a fast grab for him just as he started to mount her.  I can only hope I grabbed him in time.  I guess I'll find out in 10 weeks.  *face palm*  *sigh*  I'm too worn out to make decisions.  I just hope she isn't the one to pay for my mistake.
