When we arrived we were put in this big cage and
a black, brown and white boar came in... |
 |
The first attempt at matching us was succesful: So this is our new friend Bérke,
which means 'little bear' in southern dutch dialect |
 |
| Alright mom, stop taking pigtures... (Of course she took loads more) |
One of the volunteers at t Kuufke had a soft spot for rexes and US teddies, so she also took pigtures of our girls with Bérke... They are now on
t Kuufke's facebookpage! The text above the photo says 2 boars were rehomed (our Bérke and a new friend for our cousins Bo and Coco ;), a bit about what was done that day in the shelter and about the calender and thanking everyone who voted for them and the people who made the calendar possible.
So as you probably remember
t Kuufke was the shelter who won our donation for this years' Undercover guinea pigs Calendar proceeds. We donated a total of 150 euros to them, they were really happy with it, and let us know that 6 boars can be neutered with our donation (Sorry guys!). This will help those guys find a new home with one or more nice sows.
Thanks everyone for making the calendar possible again by sending in lovely pigture, and buying the calendar. I want to send a special thank you to the people who donated extra, you know who you are ;) Of course we couldn't not show you a bit of the shelter, so here is a short impression

The shelter also takes care of gerbils, hamsters, mice, rabbits...
And these two Chinchilla's... |

| and Degus, this is the ladies group: a big pile of degus... |
It was again a nice visit, they do such good work there. And happy to see Dennis and Bèrke have found a new home.
ReplyDeleteYou are lucky girls to have such a handsome new friend. Welcome Berke ( sorry our laptop doesn't do accents. It must be nearly as old as our Slave.)
ReplyDeletet'Kuufke looks like a wonderful place to visit. Are we right in assuming that Dennis went home with Coco and Bo? We wish that our Slave could read Dutch. She is really quite useless except when it comes to collecting grass.
Thank you for sharing your day out with such lovely pigtures.
Congratulations on your new friend Berke we love the name he does look like a little bear.
ReplyDeleteWe are proud to be a part of the calendar that helps such excellent causes we only wish we could read dutch
So many cute peegs! Quite interesting to see behind the scenes photos of the shelter.
ReplyDeleteGlad the piggy dating went well, looking forward to hearing more about the two new agents :)
Berke is very handsome--love his coloring! The fluffy, dark brown piggy with the light brown shawl is adorable, too! Congratulations to your growing piggy family! You guys in Europe have the cutest piggies!!!
