Stella would like to show you the Winter quarters of the Surrey Squeakers.
Here are two pictures of our shed. One shows the left hand side and the other shows the right. Slave wanted to stand further back and get it all in one photo, but there's a big tree in the way. It is an 8 foot by 6 foot wooden shed, with a window. You can see that there is some wire mesh in the doorway to stop us escaping when Slave opens the door. Hanging from the ceiling is our luxury heater. It has a fan which is on all the time, circulating the air nicely, and a heating element which comes on when necessary, to keep the shed at the chosen temperature. Slave usually chooses to set the thermostat at about 12 or 13 degrees, which we find very comfortable, and it's not too great a shock if we are suddenly brought out and placed in the outdoor pens! On the floor we have layers of newspaper, then a layer of towels, then lots of lovely hay. We also get extra hay in all our little houses and also in our new hay rack. (Thank you Secret Santas - Woopy, Chico, Lily and Daisy!). The shed is big enough for us to get up some speed when we are feeling energetic and we love being in it when it's cold, snowy or wet outside. As you can see in the pictures, breakfast veggies had just arrived, but Slave standing at the door with a camera was putting us off!
We love your cosy Squeaker shed. Our Slave has one just like it ( with the windows on the opposite side ) but she keeps her tools in it. What a waste when it could house some more piggies.
ReplyDeletewe see the hayrack we told mom to send you! We hope you like it, the hay :D
ReplyDeleteMom would like to have a shed like yours, but we don't even have garden! We hope she will be able to visit you sometime so she can see your housing.
We are happy snow is gone and we can see the grass outside again! We live in park, with loads of green grass, some small trees that still need to grow, and some old trees they saved before building our slave's house...
awww you have a wonderful set up indeed. You little piggies look so happy and spoiled just like a piggie should be!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the look and feel and sheer size of of the Surrey Sqeakers winter home. Wonderful! Fortunate piggers <3
