Fifty Yard Nap: Agents Acorn, Magician, Godiva and Pirate

Agent Acorn joins Agents Magician and Godiva in the synchronized pigloo napping event. 

 She then passed the baton to Pirate, who is participating flat on her tummy with her feet kicked out.

Who's next?

Fifty Yard Nap: Agent Cowgirl

This is also a new agent. We named her Agent Cowgirl as she has the same first name as a famous female sharpshooter whose surname is a tree.

Agent Cowgirl has been a misfit for a long long time.. We guess she just never realized she wasn't a Agent :) so it's about time! She is sleeping in her hut and wants to join in the dash.

She came to be a misfit on 5-12-08. She is actually born in 06. She is a old sassy gal. She has the crazy hair. She loves her chin scratched. She will lift her head way up so you keep scratch-in her chin! She is a sweet gal that lives with 4 other misfits. She originally came here with her cage mate Abigail (agent Bette Davis) who has passed on to the bridge. She loves her hay and loves to hang out in her hut:) she is not a boss pig at all. She is a sweet gal.

#Olympigs Fifty Yard Nap - Agent Butterloaf

Agent Butterloaf takes on lap 27! Agent Butterloaf is very good at being loafy but this is rare shot where his eyes are closed. Piggy dreams of carrots.

#Olympigs Fifty Yard Nap - Agents Gemini

Here is a pigture of the 25th. and 26th. legs of the Fifty yard Nap.

 

We are Agents Gemini. You will have seen us before when we proposed Palace Piggies Rescue as recipients of the Undercover Piggies Calendar prize but we were not actually Agents back then.

 

We apologise for our unkempt appearance in the pigture but we had been burrowing in the hay prior to our nap. We would have liked a brush first and a more appealing background but nothing stops Slave with her camera....sigh....

 

We are Piggyfriends, who are probably sisters and are never far apart hence we decided to share the Agent name of Gemini. Slave did not have the chance to give us more exotic names as we arrived here already named. Our names both begin with an S and are just ordinary English names both with five letters so we should not be too hard to guess.

#Olympigs 50 Yard Nap Agent Ripple

Agent Ripple covers the 24th Lap nearly half way there come on Agents

#Olympigs - Fifty Yard Nap; Minty

After competing in both the Bar Biting and the Sow Gazing, I am ready for a nap. This is me, Agent Minty, napping the 23rd. leg.

Friday Video: Agent Prince #Olympigs

You guessed correctly! Ladies and gentleboars, for your viewing pleasure, Charles is getting ready to nap. Beautiful exercise, Agent Prince, well done!!



Charles became a Misfit on Nov 6, 2010. He is estimated to be born around June of 2009. He came to be a Misfit because his "owner" a young child dropped him, which hurt Charles's back so that is why he wobbles when he walks and because of that they didn't want him anymore! Well, he was actually put up for use for snake food at the misfits local seed and feed. Lucky for him Jean and Andy said 'Heck no, he is not going in any snakes belly!' when they saw him that day. So that is how he came to be a misfit.

The video was taken by Jean, she wanted to show us how Chuck finds that comfy spot before he falls asleep. We also got some extra pigtues of this handsome (agent) Prince doing his magic.

Enjoy and have a nice Wheekend!

Okay gold medal, here I come!

Almost there..

zzzzzz..

#Olympigs 50 Yard Nap: Prince

New Agent Prince takes the baton for the 22nd leg of the 50 yard nap

Agent Prince is a boy living as part of a mixed herd in Illinois he came to his new home when he was dropped by his previous owner causing him spinal damage he nearly ended up as snake food before his new daddy said hell no he's not needless to say he is now treated like a Prince!!

His real name is also the name of the current heir to the English throne.

Get guessing

Now who is napping the next yard??

#Olympigs Fifty Yard Nap: Curly

Agent Wizard reporting.

Slave picked up me and my friend Agent Curly to have our nails trimmed. I behaved impeccably as usual and then she went to clip Agent Curly's nails. Her son was holding him as, with Curly's fluffy coat, it is hard to see his feet. He promptly leaned back and fell asleep upside down so I am entering him for the next leg of the fifty yard nap. Counting is not my forte but I believe that this is leg 20.

Don't tell Agent Curly that I have sent in this pigture as he might be embarrassed.

Friday Video: #Olympigs Rowing Pigs

We know we've featured this video before. But it just fits perfectly into the #Olympigs theme.


Have a nice Wheekend!

#Olympigs Synchronized, Combined Events!

Here is Agent Orioles' whole herd eating green spaghetti while all competing in the fifty yard nap! How's THAT for synchronization?! Do we get a gold medal? Featuring a new Agent! Meet Agent Chirpy, so named because she's the only chirper in the herd! Weirdo. Can anyone else chirp? A hint for her name that it is a type of warm winter jacket.

Well, back to the spaghetti now. *chewchewchewchewchewchewchew*

#Olympigs Fifty Yard Nap: Firenze

Agent Firenze would like to take the next leg of the Fifty Yard Nap.

Hello! I am Agent Oriole's second-in-command, and my agent name is Agent Funky-fresh because of my sweet hairdo. This is a picture of me trapping two of my sisters in a house while eating green spaghetti. They can have all the spaghetti inside the house and I get all the spaghetti outside the house! Wol!

#Olympigs Fifty yard nap: Mockingbird

Agent Mockingbird would like to take the next leg of the fifty yard nap with an epic post-breakfast nap. Look at that technique! It's hard work being a sow!

#Olympigs Fifty Yard Nap: Siver Streak and Avatar

Agent Venus passed the baton to Agent Silver Streak for the next leg of the 50 yard nap.

He then gave it to his sister, Agent Avatar. To whom will she give it for the 6th. leg? No, don't eat it, Agent Avatar - it has a long way to go yet.

From Team Piggyfriends.

p.s. Have you seen Agent Hamster and Halloween starting the 50 yard nap? We need more pigs to do more yards! So please send us your pigtures.

#Olympigs Fifty Yard Nap: Halloween

Here is our entry for the second yard.

This is our dear Halloween. He says that he is far too old to be an Agent but could we enter him in the veterans class? He is napping indoors but he is in a pen that is a yard square so we hope that this will count.

From the Piggyfriend Agents.

Friday Video: The German #Olympigs Meerschweinchen

In the spirit of the #Olympigs, this week some footage from German television. The reporter wants to know how fast guinea pigs really are. Cassie shows the camera man (2:06 min into the video) that she can run 4 to 6 meters per second. In human time this is 21 km in an hour (or 13 miles).

Mister Usain Bolt runs 200 meters in 19.32 seconds. So he still is faster than us pigs; the same distance would take a fast piggy about 33 seconds (if he or she has the stamina, we are better suited for the 200 cm sprint)


Have a nice Wheekend!

10 reasons why you should own a human

One of our friends sent us a slideshow with 7 reasons why a human should get a guinea pig. Well.. that's all good fun for the humans, but we'd rather make a list of why we should own a human (don't tell the humans, but you all know we rule the world, right?)

1. Full body massages*
Need I say more? Best thing about being a guinea pig. Period.

2. The sipping of the tea
We actually don't know why, but we find it oddly comforting when J stares into space and makes those tiny slurpy noises

3. You can dress them up as a haystack
Yes! You can leave hay all over them, just in case you get hungry during your full body massage. Extra points if they have pockets to hide your poo

4. They make good sofa's
Humans are snuggly and warm. We love resting our head underneath a big chin. It feels so safe.

5. Tasty
Humans can be rather tasty. Try licking their skin, but watch out for the ones with the lotion

6. They are cheaper than a walkin' fridge
We're also not sure if they are actually invented yet, even though the commercial suggests otherwise


7. They don't make fun of your poo collection
They just throw it out every week *humpf*

8. You always feel smart around them
Ghe..

9. They're low maintenance pets
Really, they clean and feed themselves. You just need to talk to them and make them feel welcome when they get home

10. They can be very entertaining
Ours does bellydancing. It's hilarious, like our rumblestrutting, but less advanced. But it just fills our hearts to see the poor soul have so much fun

So.. how does your human entertain you? And do you have tips to help us get more out of our humans?

* hattip for @LilPecan for bringing this to our attention

Our entry in the Olympigs Bar Biting Challange

Not many of us Piggyfriends are into Bar Biting but here is our Agent Minty having a go. Our Rafferty enjoys a good rattle of the wire but he always chooses the area that separates his home from a pen of sows and Slave cannot get a good front view of him. There may yet be time for a late entry.

Agent Shyness is in a new territory!

Agent Shyness : where are we Mom?
Mom(human): we are in my room.
Agent Shyness : ok.Why are we here?
Mom: so we can have fun.

During this,Mo,aka Agent Pellets, was sleeping.
