Slave's Christmas presents.

 Hello readers,

 
We are sorry to be very late in posting this. We need Slave's help as we are not very good at typing and she had to spend a lot of time at the vet's recently but we wanted to share with you these photos of one of her Christmas presents.

You might remember that her son has made some tiny piggy models with his 3D printer in the past. Well, two more tiny piggies arrived at Christmas and here they are.

To complement the merry medieval band of guinea pigs, we now have this brave little warrior to protect them all and a tiny druid, who is making a scroll or three about their adventures.  

Below you can them all lined up. 

 

  

Our First Holiday Photos!

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!

 

Merry Christmas from the Prairie Pigs

 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!). 

Happy Christmas from the Piggyfriends

 

Everypig was delighted to receive a Christmas card from the Surrey Squeakers and we want to share it with our readers.

 We love the piggies pulling Santa's sleigh.

 

 On behalf of all the Piggyfriends, Peaches wishes everyone and everypig a very Happy Christmas.

 

Slave's Birthday Presents

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......

 A tiny drummer.

And his friend, playing a flute.

 This little fellow is playing a lyre.

 And his friend is playing his lute.

 Here is the whole band. They are an inch high.

 Lastly, they are entertaining the king and his entourage.

Slave was delighted with them all and wanted to share them with our guinea pig friends.  

 

Serafina, Tiny Halloween Dragon Lady

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???)

Yes, Readers, it's me, Serafina!  Pig Mum was considering who would get to be the Prairie Pig Spokesmodel for Halloween this year, and then realized how close Halloween was going to be to my first birthday.  I don't remember my birthday very well so I could not say exactly which day it was, but Pig Mum came to adopt me from the local shelter at the end of November last year, and the shelter folks thought I was about a month old.  I was a teeny tiny little piggy girl at the time, only about 100 grams!

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!

Happy Hallowe'en to our readers!

 It is Hallowe'en and Heidi Piggyfriend is being attacked by a vampire bat!!

 Don't worry though. This is a friendly toy bat and you can see him at the back of the photo.

We hope you have a safe and happy Hallowe'en.
