#Olympigs 50 Yard Nap Agents Jaws and Snowflake

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

We are currently roaming the internets for secret agent videos. We found this awesome trailer of a non-existent movie (it ought to.. in our opinion)


Have a nice Wheekend!

Friday Video: Secret Agent Coey

Yes yes.. we know, it's not friday, and we apologize. Our staff refused to turn on the computer because of silly excuses like weddings and work. And when she finally did turn on the computer, the silly thing needed a whole day (!?!) to download and install stuff.

To make up for it, we found a very handsome agent


Hope you had a nice Wheekend!

#Olympigs; Fifty Yard Nap Agent Sheep

Agent Sheep shows us how to use your human as a bed, simple climb onto their shoulder and settle down.

Agent Report

Hey.Agent Pellets reporting here.First,can you give me a carrot?

*chew* *chew*

  Okay,now back to business. My Slave has been talking about dressing me and Agent Shyness up in neck bows.How do we get out of this? We will be embarrassed!  Help us! What should we do?! I know there are some (other) clever boars out there!

#Olympigs Fifty Yard Nap - Agent 005

Here is our new Agent 005 napping what we think is the 36th. leg of the Fifty Yard Nap. We hope that somepig more numerate than we are will verify this.

 

Agent 005 came to us along with his friend, May, who missed out on her chance to be an Agent today as she was busy eating when Slave snapped this photo. She is very big and does a lot of that.

 

Agent 005's real name is based on the Latin for the number five, which is why he chose this pseudonym. GPDD readers may remember the two of them being introduced very recently. He loves his large ladyfriend, May, and Slave has not found anything that the two of them do not like to eat. They are both up at the wire every time there is the suggestion of food and we think that Agent 005 has grown a bit since they came home from the shelter.

 

We think that he looks a lot like our Agent Avatar but he has some little white patches.

 

From the Piggyfriends.

 

 

 

 

 

#Olympigs Fifty Yard Nap - Agents Wheeker & Lily'Explorer

Slave finally managed to take our pigture while sleeping, so here we are for the next two yards...

Napping together in our big mount of hay...

Friday Video: I am Maru

We had a very busy week, so we need an outlet. This little video with Marudoes just that. If you like loud guitars, turn op the volume! If you don't, turn it down (or out)


Have a nice wheekend!

p.s. Maru is quite a personality; check out his Youtube channel for more video's with this cat (without the music btw)

Fifty Yard Nap: Sherlock

We enjoy the entries for the #Olympigs fifty yard nap so much! Thank you all! One can never have too few pigtures of sleeping pigs (new entries are still welcome)

Did you know that Iron Hamster got the idea for the fifty yard nap from Gandalf? (@im_still_hungry on twitter) He tweeted that he was going to do the fifty yard nap during the #Olympigs, after which the guiny girls asked him to explain himself. Hamster read that and made the beautiful video that was the first yard on this blog

"@im_still_hungry: @Guinygirlz Well, first you find a yard, sleep in it, and repeat for 49 more"

Our Bo happens to have THE biggest crush on Gandalf's roommate; Sherlock (@chewing_my_foot on twitter). So she asked him if he could send her a pigture of him doing the 50 yard nap. This is what he replied:

"@chewing_my_foot: @winkyteam Here's a pigture of me dreaming about Bo during my quilt nap next to Lady. :) http://t.co/QvOSuFiC"

Needless to say, Bo has been beaming for the last 2 days.. ah well.. piggy love.. ;-)

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.

Friday Video: Guinea Pig Tricks

Those Germans sure have some top notch #Olympigs. These two pigs have trained their lady to give them as much snacks as possible ;-)



Have a nice Wheekend!

#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.

How many legs have been completed? I hope that someone is counting.

# Olympigs fifty yard nap

The pigs have been inspired to take the baton for the 50 yard nap.

#Olympigs 50 yard nap: Godiva, Magician and Mango

Agents Godiva, Magician and Mango would like to contribute to the 50 yard nap.

Agents Mango and Magician have even made an effort at synchronized napping.

#Olympigs New Agent Eating Green Spaghetti

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.

#Olympigs - Fifty Yard Nap: Venus

Agent Venus has yard 3 covered for us

Friday Video: the Dutch #Olympigs competition

See this Dutch pig take a 10cm hurdle twice in only 45 seconds!



Have a nice Wheekend!

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.

#Olympigs Eating the Green Spaghetti

We have been taking advantage of the recent nice weather and here is our entrance into the Eating Green Spaghetti Doubles Contest

We have embedded video but it doesnt appear to have worked so if you cant see video on screen click the link to view it.

Stupid puters grrrr

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!

#Olympigs Speedy bar Biting

Daisy is going for Gold!!
