Well before that stupid dolphin (no offense) took over Egg Card used to use us piggies in their adverts.
So for a top up of piggy cuteness check out this link for adverts 1 and 2.

Trouble Making Texel
Hey Buddy,
Okay, now finally, as promised, some more information about my breed.
Tumtadadum.. I'm a Texel!!! This means I have a very long curly coat. Mom says I'm very high maintanance. Tuh.. well thank you very much.. *looks really proud*.
Did you know I have some sheep and an island named after me? (no not Igors.. texels) The sheep are very curly and heavy muscled (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texel_(sheep) ) just like me! And the island.. aw well.. it was close to Amsterdam (the city) when I hijacked the VOC ship and I needed a place to hideout from the police. I guess the natives were very impressed with my eating skills when I was mowing their lawns, so I think they named the island (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texel) and their sheep after me.
Mom likes to keep my hair short because I'm still trying to grow dreadlocks to impress my Mickey (mom just doesn't understand what cool is.. *sigh*). She doesn't comb my hair because I hate that; but she does pick out poo and hay every week or so and when she finds little knots she justs takes a scissor and cuts them out (doesn't happen too often btw.. but i do try). She repeats that until my hair becomes too long and then she cuts it all off.
The difference between Texels and other curly pigs (Rexes, CH and US teddies) is that my hair keeps on growing. The CH Teddies do have longer hair than the Rexes and US teddies, but it doesn't get any longer than a few cm. There is only one other breed that has long curly hair that keeps on growing and those are Lunkarya's. But their hair is better described as wild; instead of corkscrew curly like mine.
Lots of Wheeks!

A texel is a Rexoid Sheltie, they can come in any colour the breed standard says that the sweep should be longer than the sides and fall over the butt, they should have a central parting and no matting (bad luck Agent I) a crest or rosette = disqualification.

Easter Bunny's
As we are now fast approaching Easter, me thought it was a good time to remind everyone of the Make Mine Chocolate Campaign.
The aim of the campaign is to stop the impulse buying of rabbits as Easter presents by encouraging people to think twice and get a chocolate bunny instead.
Mummy would much rather have chocolate....
Here is the link to the campaign website in the UK.

PS me has no internet connection at home, problem with damn phone line so if you dont hear from me over the weekend you know why grrrrrr

Happig Saint Patricks Day
Today Wednesday 17th March is Saint Patricks day.
Saint Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland and legend says that he ridded the country of all snakes.
Me is going to Ireland........ they still have snakes here in England and me does not want to meet one!!
Nowadays tradition seems to dictate that the humans dress up in green and over indulge on Guiness (yuck me prefers carrot wine everytime)
Do you guys celebrate Saint Patricks day and how do you do it?

The Hay Review Part 2
The 2nd hay me has taste tested is an unbranded variety available from my local pet shop.
This comes in a big bag but me doesnt know the weight, the bag is about 3 foot tall and cost Mummy £4.80.
This hay has the long strands that me prefers and is soft to use as bedding.
The hay is a yellowy brown colour and me is not that keen on the flavour, me thinks me would rate this 3 out of 10.
Me dont think Mummy will buy this one again.
Good for sleeping on....

Wicked Tort and White
Agent Vroom is a tortoiseshell and white piggie this means she has black, red (tort) and white markings.
The breed standards say that a tort and white piggy should have patches of black, white and red that are as square as possible and clean cut (no blurring) the opposing patches on each side of the body should be a different colour. Is this even possible???
Lets meet agent Vroom
What would you like your secret agent name to be? and why? Agent Vroom (cause that's how car goes, get it)
How did you come to be a Munchee? Muncheemom was missing Kozmo, a tortoise with white like me, and bought me at a pet store.
How old are you? About 2 1/2
How many and brothers and sisters do you have? 5 brothers, 3 sisters.
Do all your names start with a K? If yes how come? Jimmee, my roommate doesn't have a K name but shares a name with Muncheemom's brother. Bandito's K name is Karlos el Bandito. Someone suggested we all have K names like the original Munchees, Kack and Kaz.
What is your favourite food? I really love my hay.
What is your favourite toy? Jimmee LOL
what is your favourite pastime? eating
Whats the best thing about being a Munchee? Muncheemom gives us the best hay and pellets she can buy and gives us fresh veggies for breakfast and dinner.
In case none of you worked it out the car is a KIA!! and they live in Tennessee

Guest Number 16
Guest number is another lovely lady, her secret agent name is Vroom.
She lives as part of a mixed herd somewhere in the US, me forgot to ask what state.
All the herd bar one have names beginning with the same letter.
Their group name is that of a type of chocolate, caramel and biscuit square we have here in the UK but the spelling is different.
Her real name is a make of car hence the name Vroom
This is a hard one so put your thinking caps on.
