Story: Morry came to live with the slaves in June 2006. He has the important distinction of being their first, and so far only boar. They just had to take him home with them after, upon seeing them for the first time, he happily bounced up to them and started sniffing at them inquisitively. He was the first of us to learn that our slaves can be trained; he would wheek loudly and insistently at dinnertime until he was given a bit of his favorite food. Whee have to say, he is the friendliest and most sociable out of all of us as he is always trying to make friends with other piggies or talking to the slaves. Although other pigs didn't necessarily take to him at first, he eventually made good friends with them - like Coppy, whom he became best friends with. They were always sleeping together on opposite sides of the cage divider, stealing each others food, or exploring together. Because his hair grew pretty quickly, he got to spend a lot of time getting styled with our slave.. whee are rather jealous, none of the rest of us have long fur!
