We, Capy and Sephora, are very excited! This is the first time we've had our photos taken during the Christmas holidays! Last year, we had just come to live with our mom and were too shy to be the centre of attention. Happily, we now feel much more confident.
We asked our mom to put us in the midst of the festivities, and she did! Here we are with one of our gifts, which reads "It's Guinea Be a Good Day."
Here's hoping all of you have a New Year full of good days!
Hello Everyone, it's me -- Arthur Pendragon. You probably did not recognize me with the reindeer antlers, but I am here to deliver Season's Greetings from the Prairie Pigs! Whee hope you are having a lovely time, relaxing with egg nog, candy canes and family.
Behind me, you can see some Christmas cards with guinea pigs on them. These came a very long way to our house, from Auntie Penny and Auntie Ann (who evidently start their Christmas planning much earlier than Pig Mum; though she does plan ahead far enough to have lots of cilantro, dandelion greens, carrots and cucumber on hand for piggy snack times, which is the most important thing, isn't it!).
Everypig was delighted to receive a Christmas card from the Surrey Squeakers and we want to share it with our readers.
Some of our readers might remember Slave's son making her some tiny guinea pig models...a king, a jester and a wizard. Now they have some new friends.
It was her birthday last week and in a little gift box was a little minstrel band......
Slave was delighted with them all and wanted to share them with our guinea pig friends.
Look who got to wear the dragon costume for Halloween this year! I am not really quite large enough yet to fill it out, but don't I look frightening? (Or maybe a little bit frightening, if you tilt your head just right???)
So Pig Mum decided that I, as birthday girl, should get to star in our Halloween photo shoot this year, and I even got to choose which costume to wear (of course, it was the dragon one!). I think people tend to not take guinea pigs seriously enough because we are small and fuzzy and cute, but everyone has to take a dragon seriously (unless they want to risk being toasted by fiery dragon breath)!
The Prairie Pigs want to wish everyone out there a Happy Halloween -- may you all get to wear your favourite costume, too, and come home with lots of tasty treats!
We hope you have a safe and happy Hallowe'en.
We are still masters of disappearing when our mom tries to take a photo (particularly Sephora!), but she has managed to get pigtures of us eating and relaxing. That makes sense, because those are two of our favourite activities!
Here I am, Capy, arranging my bowl at the perfect angle so I can enjoy my pellets and water at the same time, Well, I was originally trying to hide. Does that count as clever? I do hope so, because I would like to be a clever pig.
Not to be outdone, here I am, Sephora, showing the right way to relax on a sofa. Yes, there is a technique, and I think I define it. It might not look like it, but this takes a lot of work. Relaxing, working. Get it? LOL! I want to be a pig with a sense of humour.
We brought the bowl with us when we came to live with our mom (our foster mom bought it for us), but the sofa, we hear, has belonged to a long line of our brothers before us.
Our mom has been trying to take more pictures, but we keep eluding her!
Yours friends,
Capy and Sephora
