November 2012 UCGP calendar piggy

Hi there,

I would like to share with you this months calendar piggy, agent Curly, aka Fuzzypeg of the piggyfriends. 

He is one of the gorgeous piggies that featured in this year's undercover guinea pigs (UCGP) calendar. With the making and selling of the UCGP calendar 2012, we made a little profit, that was donated to a piggy shelter. We plan on doing this again for the upcoming year, and we need your help with that!
First of all we like to recieve pigtures of you so we can fill up the calendar.
Read more about sending in your pigture here
Secondly we need people who want to buy the calendar, to adore the piggies standing on their desk, or posing on their wall ;)
When you already know you want to order the UCGP calendar 2013, you can do so by filling in this form, or have a look at the order calendar 2013 tab. Once we got the calendar complete and ready to be printed, you will recieve a request for payment from Mieke, using PayPal.

We hope you will help us out to make this a success again this year!

P.s. don't forget to enter our first competition... more info here

Cute Contest: Snuggly Igor

Inspired by the humans in the US, we've come up with a new format. It's called a Cute Contest and it basically works like this; we post 2 pigtures and you decide which one is cuter.

We really like the photo's of uncle Igor, so we thought this would be a good excuse to dig up some of his pigtures out of the archives.

Pigture A

Pigtures B

Which one is cuter? A or B?

Undercover Guinea Pigs Calendar 2013!

Hi Piggies,

Like last year we want to make an Undercover guinea pigs calendar!!

How does it work?

We have 12 spots, one for every month, to fill the calendar, and we might also want a piggy to go on the front. We would like to receive pigtures of your cavy or cavies, which we can use in the calendar with your permission.

If we recieve too many different entries, we might have to choose. Sorry there are only 12 spots to fill, but we will give priority to piggies that have not appeared in the calendar last year (or actually if one piggy of a slave has been in there already and he/she sends in a pigture of a different piggy he/she owns, and we also received a pigture from a cavy who's slave hasn't had a piggy in the calendar before, the last one will get priority).

We will also ask you to nominate a shelter where we will send the money we make on the calendar. Once all calendars are (almost) sold, we will have a vote for which shelter which should recieve the money.Everyone can send in nominees, this is not restricted to piggies featuring in the calendar!

The shelter that won last year, will be excluded, as we want to give all shelters a chance.

Mieke from the undercover guinea pigs blog will post when you can order the calendar (desk or wall version) from a company and have the company send it to you directly (as it's probably cheaper and faster).

So, send in your entries! It can be one of or all your piggies, and we love big, good resolution pigtures for the calendar, themed pictures eg Christmas, Halloween etc are also good. You can send in pigtures with a little accompanying text about the piggie(s) and their agents names, either to the blog directly (see the contribute tab) or mail it to us and we will post.

Agent Pellets (Aka Mo,Momo or the Mowhauk dude) and Agent Shyness (Aka Larry,Lar,or the Curly Furry) fight about who's cuter.

Friday Video: Guinygirlz new cage

Hi there,

 Auntie J is away and left us to the hard task of selecting a video.
We have had a new cage, build by our human Daddy E, for a while now. We are pretty sure we shared it already but we cannot find it on this blog...
So hope we are not annoying you with a repeat of this video of us entering the new cage for the first time... it is quite a long video, you don't have to watch it all if you don't want to ;)

 

 Some specifics:
- The cage is about 122cm by 125cm (around 48" by 49") and made out of wood, the kind that consists of layers pressed together with a shiny top and bottom.
- The see-through parts are pieces of plexiglass (hooby glass) from our old cage (see our old cage here)
- Roos has a perfect camouflage color for the sides of the cage (the wood is red brown, like Roos is).
- The back has a small ledge at the top, which can be opened, so our waterbottle and hayrack can be filled more easily. We like this, because it gives some idea of shelter when we get scared.
- The cage is on top of an 'H'-shaped stand which holds our boxes of pellets, hay, bedding.
- We had to get used to the wide open space, but now We looove the new cage!

Friday Video: Food Glorious Food

Today a video with a song that we love to belt out at the top of our lungs. The original is from the musical Oliver! (Twist), but we really like the Ice Age version.

Lyrics:

Food, glorious food, we're anxious to try it

Three banquets a day, our favourite diet

Just picture a mammoth steak, fried, roasted or stewed

Oh, food, wonderful food, marvellous food, glorious food

Food, glorious food, poached possum served flambe

Broth made from a sloth, or sabre tooth souffle

Why should we be fated to, do nothing but brood

On food, magical food, wonderful food. marvellous food

Food, glorious food, flesh picked off the dead ones

Rank, rotten or chewed, soon we'll be the fed ones

Just thinking of putrid meat, puts us in a mood

For food, glorious food, marvellous food, fabulous food

Beautiful food, magical food, glorious food

Okay.. there needs to be a vegetarian version of this song ;-)

Have a nice wheekend!

Friday Video: the Shame Blues

Have you heard about Pet Shaming? It is a meme that started out as Dogshaming and then spread to other species as well. Our current friday video shows us Daisy the Dog with the Shame Blues.



Want more? Check out this photo collection or go ahead in Google Images to see what you can find with search terms like pet shaming, dog shaming, cat shaming or even guinea pig shaming. We'll be busy making pamplets for slave shaming. We've already got:

• I think I'm sexy like Shakira. I'm not.
• I eat all the strawberries
• I clean up poo

Any more suggestions? Both slave shaming as well as (links to) guinea pigtures are welcome.

Have a nice Wheekend!

Another Agent Zeppelin Mystery

Agent Zeppelin has another mystery for you. He made his staff go to the street market to buy vegetables in a brown paper bag (FYI, best toy ever!). After eating the contents he sent us this pigture.

Which way is he facing? Get guessing!

New Agent Tortoise

Hi There,

I am new agent Tortoise!
I got this name because I like to sit under our hammock and push it up. This hammock can be moved around (because it's hanging over the side of our cage by a sturdy wire), and with me under it I look just like a tortoise... at least that is what the slaves say!

Hints for my real name, I live in a small country in Europe, where most of the land is actually below sealevel. Like my 'sisters' (2 out of 3 at least) I have a flower name, mine is in our country's native language.

I am almost 11 months old, and since I was about 9 months I already weighed a 1000grammes (1 kilo), this week the scales showed I already weigh 1050grammes!
So slave is very late sending this is, as I reached agent weight a few months ago...

Friday Video: Secret Agent Guinea Pig
