Good Morning with Agent Chanel

Pepper

Bonjour!

In the morning I like to exercise with my girl Pepper from the Gekke Flappies.

I used to do a lot of running around and lots of popcorning. And sometimes even Agent I joins in.

Recently, I added a new routine to my workout:





I climb on the roof!

*ghegheghe*

I jump off!

I climb on again, and keep doing this until old man Igor gets bored and falls asleep.

Ready?

When that happens..

COWABUNGAAAAAAAA!!!!

I jump on agent I !!!! *snigger*

What kind of morning exercises do you guys do?

Open Day at Raystede Rescue

Piggyfriend Agents Thorntons, Venezia, Firenze and Storm would like to advertise that there is to be an Open Day on Sunday, 26th. June at the rescue from which they and some of their friends came. If anyone lives in the South East of England, they might like to go and support this worthy cause. The piggies there live in open pens like ours so the cavy house is kept closed during Open Days to prevent the piggies being hassled by visitors but they can be seen through the window and staff are on hand to help with any adoptions.

 

This is the rescue which Algernon Rat visited when he was staying here and you can see him at the entrance in the picture.

 

Visit http://www.raystede.org/ for details.

 

Thank you readers one and all.

 

NB Note to Slave. There is a new sign outside Raystede. Go and take another photo.

Sleep research: Agent lil' Woop

Ssshhhhhtttt..

Bo Peep!

Hi All,

This is Agent I, and I'd like to introduce you to the newest Winky team addition.
Her name is Bo. Like Bo Peep, because she is very vocal and she also has a sheep (aka me! *gheghe*)

She is only 5 weeks old and we got her at the shelter. She got loads of pigsonality! She's active and very loud and she is already (after only 3 days being with us) teaching me and Coco how to beg for food.

She weighs 440 grams. Not bad at only five weeks!

Igor is really happy now he has a herd of 2 gorgeous girls (yes that's Igor popcorning)

Lots of wheeks!

Igor, Coco and Bo

Sleeping Method in the Hammock

"Agents Acorn, Godiva and Mango like to sleep in a hammock from time to time. The hammock is typically Agent Mango's favorite place to sleep, but Agents Acorn and Godiva occasionally manage to sneak in a quick snooze!
Step one - Jump or climb into hammock
Step two - curl up on your side
Step three - try not to be woken up by another piggy shoving the hammock around from underneath you!"


Agent Acorn



Agent Mango


Agent Godiva

Piggies on the TV

Hullo secret agent pigs, fellow trainees and human slaves.
Mummy keeps insisting that we need exercise so she has constructed us a play pen. We have an outdoor run but the it is a bit chilly still and we are only delicate wee flowers. We enjoy popcorning and squeaking about our new playpen. There are tubes and boxes and stuff for us to chew and explore. Mummy refuses to put a snuggly bed in yet because she says we will just hide in there. Little bit rude don't you think.
A weight update too, Boomer is 645 grams, Starbuck is 686 grams.

Misfit's Luxury Grass Indoors Treat

Agent Addytudy and Amanda


Amanda and Addaline eating from mummy "oats" which she grows in a tupperware tub so we can still have grass in the icky months.
us piggies love it when its our turn for the tub of grass:)

Amanda is Addytudy's cage mate, She loves kisses. She will put her face up to the cage entrance and wait for you to kiss her! She weighs in at a whopping 943 grams. Amanda came to live with the Misfits on 7-2-08. Her estimated birthday is March 23,07.She is the mother of Agent Bam and she likes broccoli alot.

Sleeping Method on a Sock

Agent Java

"Agent Java would like to share her research regarding the On-A-Sock sleeping method, which she is demonstrating here
Step one - settle into a cozy corner of your cage
Step two - lean on your side
Step three - rest your head and chin using a stuffed sock as a pillow (may also substitute with stuffed animal plushies, other piggy, etc)
Step four - keep one eye open so slaves can't sneak over to take pictures while you are asleep!"

Sleeping Method. Find a Cozy Friend.

Agent Storm reporting.

We want to celebrate what we hope is the return of our Internet connection by sharing a photo.

This is called "Find a cozy friend and snuggle up to him on a cold day.

I am the fuzzy piggy and that is my friend Elliot using me as a duvet.

Who is Bigger Pig or Human

Mystery Agent Bam

Mystery Agent Bam shows us that not all humans are giant scary things in fact the human he has found is quiet small and cute in a non furry kind of way.

Mystery Agent Bam is a boy piggy living as part of a mixed herd in Illinois his real name is another sound you might see in the early batman cartoons remember when the noises came up in a speech bubble?

He weighs in at 1099grams. He was born on 7-24-08 with his sister Alana. His mom is Amanda. He is a sweet boy that has a front arm that he doesn't really use and he has a tilted head from a bad infection and he has one eye that is not right. Amanda was used at a breeder pig and there was alot of interbreeding done, which is why Alana had heart problems and Agent Bam has alot of medical problems as well. Agent Bam Was also born with only one ball(don't laugh) and he has never developed stud tail he has always been like a baby pig...He has never grown up:) He is one sweet boy. He loves all food. and he loves to poop in his hidey hut

Meet Agent-in-Training Spaetzle

Our 12 year old buddy, Jennifer, is quite delighted by the Undercover Guinea Pigs blog. So much so she has dubbed herself Agent Stargirl. She also loves making videos, so this is the first in a series of six introducing us. First up, Agent-in-Training Spaetzle (aka Fritz).

Sleep Research: Igor's Nose

My specialty is sleeping with my nose up in the air. Going through the archives I noticed there are many pigtures of me sleeping with my nose placed higher than the rest of my body.
Ah well..   did it, done it, will be doing it a lot more I guess.

Just did it ;-) (yesterday)

Sleeping together with Suus and Yaya, back in 2008

Love this house *zzzzzzzzzzzzzz*

On J's lap in 2009

I was wondering, are there other piggies out there who do this? And do you think it is a texel thing, because our build is so stubby?

Flying Pigs and Piggies

Agent Cannonball here. Mummy went to a zoomie called "Flying Pig Marathon" and brought back many piggy goodies. The mug is cool but she needs to be better with the veggie refills.

A Challenge for the Herds: The Winky Girls

We love the herd line-ups! These are out of the archives, the first line-up of the original Winky Girls (and Jan the Boar)

From left to right: Yaya, Lotje, Jan, Guiny and Suus

Keep that cucumber coming!

Facing forward is sooo boring.

Tadaaaa! The perfect pigture ;-)

Agent-in-Training Update

Agent-in-Training O here. I am happy to say I've gained weight this month and am now 980 grams, just 20 grams shy of full Agent weight! I'm quite pleased and tried today to convince Slave that were it not for the neutering surgery, I would already be an Agent. Slave laughed a bit and assured me that this was a nice thought but a bit of an exaggeration. Needless to say, I harrumphed and walked away, mumbling oaths under my breath.

Agent I reporting out of the archives *dusty cough*

This is our group photo, with six piggies. According to J you need:

• at least 2 slaves; one for keeping the models happy (must be a master at simultanous petting) and one for making the pigtures.
• a comfy studio. We were sitting on a couch, covered with a piece of fabric.
• a plan, some pigs are more dominant than others; put peacemakers in between (that is why Suus and auntie Guiny are on opposite ends). Yaya and auntie Lotje serve as buffers.
• lots of veggies to distract.. err.. pamper the models

Happy Easter from Agents Butterloaf and Cannonball

We piggies wish everyone and everypig a Happy Easter!

Piggyfriends line up. Out-takes.

We started our line up with Dandelion but she let the side down by facing the wrong way.

Then, just as we were good to go, she burrowed under Agent Big Red, who carried on munching his celery. Nothing stops him from eating.

Dandelion was returned to her pen in disgrace to be replaced by Otto but something must have distracted Agents Flower and Big Red.

A Challenge for the Herds. The Piggyfriends' line up

We have had some success in lining up some of the Piggyfriends for a photoshoot!  We have some out takes to show you another time but here are pigtures of a set of six and another of seven.

The six are - Agent Firenze and her friend Lavender with Agents Flower,  Big Red, Bouquet and their friend Otto. Not a very neat line but they are all facing the same way.

The line of seven are - Agent Firenze, Lavender, Agents Flower,  Big Red,  Bouquet, their friend Fennel and Agent Avatar.

We might have squeezed in another piggy but we used the sofa so that they did not all run away and some of these piggies are quite wide and filled up all the space ( it is only a little sofa ).

Celery was used as a bribe to get our identity parade lined up. Now, sir,  can you identify which of these guinea pigs was responsible for the mugging?

Agent Java's Herd Challenge Outtakes

Agent Java has admitted that getting perfectly pigtured piggies is harder than it looks;



No in a line facing the camera hmmff


All the same way round please


Agent Acorn you are letting the herd down

Its a hard life being Boss Pig

A Challenge for the Herds

Agent Minty reporting in.

 

A first attempt at lining up some Piggyfriends has not met with absolute success but you did ask for out takes. Here is one of the more amusing ones.

 

Sorry Agent Java. Slave will try again. Better luck next time!

Sleeping method: the Ear Wiggle

Out of the 2009 archives: Agent Thunderbear curled up like a croissant with(!) wiggly ears.

The method itself was excellently covered by Agent PorkChop and Agent Lettuce but we thought the video makes a good addition to their report.

The Surrey Squeakers Summer Crib

Oooh the Squeakers would love to see their new pen on the blog!

The whole pen has a sturdy wooden frame of treated wood, and the wire is strong 1" x 1/2" mesh, except for the roof which is 1/2" x 1/2" mesh. The company who made it kindly sent us some offcuts of mesh (at a very small price) to go all the way round the bottom edge to stop rats burrowing in. The pen is 6 feet tall, 9 feet deep and 12 feet wide and is big enough to take both the big hutches, one large shelter (for eating grass deliveries when it's raining), and 10 pigloo type houses. The Squeakers love it!

We love the Squeakers new pen although Mummy says we havent got room in our garden for one humphhhh

Agent in training Boomer

Hello agents, agents in training and human slaves. Boomer and Starbuck have been with us for just over three weeks. They are both lively, bright eyed and adorable but Boomer has not put on any weight while Starbuck is chunking up nicely. They are now about 14 weeks, Boomer is the alpha so she gets plenty of hay, Burgess Excel pellets and a range of veggies. Does anyone have any suggestions, should she putting weight on or am I panicking?
