A New Bed for Ted

Regular readers may remember a few months ago a new addition joined the Piggypals a little ginger teddy guinea pig called Ted.

At first everything went well Ted was put in quarantine for 2 weeks and then after 2 weeks had passed and he was not ill he was allowed to join us big boys. Things were OK for a couple of weeks and then Ted decided he did not like Hugo in fact he really didn't like Hugo and some serious fighting broke out.

This meant that the humans had to seperate Ted us from us which also meant that Mummy had to make Ted some new bedding as he is only a baby she decided he would like Ladybirds you can see how his fleece looks below.

Ted now lives in a seperate cage next to us where he can see, smell and talk to us but not get at Hugo.

We do spend time in the same run in the garden as the grass provides a distraction for everyone but this is under strict human supervision and if it looks like problems may start Mummy or Daddy will remove either Ted or Hugo.

Me I get on with everypig!!

Yeah White Clover Flowers!!!!!

Honeydew and Squirly reporting from Piggyville. Our slave tried to trick
us into eating purple clover flowers. Honeydew would not even look at
the purple flowers. Hey Mom you can't fool us. We have sophisticated
tastes. You can see by the look on our faces and the white flowers in
our mouths that we love white clover flowers. Ah!! springtime in
Swannanoa North Carolina. Munch, Munch, Munch......

Do you think......

...........that if I sit on my food bowl, Slave will think that it is empty and put more in it?

"Do not worry about my eyes," says Magnus Piggyfriend." I was born with small eyes but I can see very well and this does not prevent me getting around."

Imitation is the sincerest form of ...

Love. Nugget here. My older brother, Eddie (on the left) hasn't been
feeling so well lately, and my mom has been taking him to the vet a lot.
The other day I wanted to show him support, so I rested with him, and,
well, I thought if I looked just like him, he would feel better. He is
an amazing brother and friend.

Happy First Birthday to Piggyville Girls

Squirly and Honeydew celebrated their first birthday at Piggyville in
North Carolina by romping and chomping away in a clover patch. "Where
are all the clover flowers?" asked Squirly the silver agouti. Honeydew
replied, "Remember our slave did not sew the clover until October".
"This means we will not have any yummy flowers until late May." Oh well
at least we have plenty of clover, lots of love and a forever home.

May Day

Slave went out into the garden to pick some May flowers so that one of the Piggyfriend girls could be May Queen for the day. This is what she found.

We have a very long hedge in our garden, which contains many hawthorns but, because of the very long winter and miserable cold spring, there was not a single blossom to be found. Eeek!

"Sorry girls, " said Slave. " No May Queen this year but maybe you might like a substitute? I have lots of dandelion flowers."

" I would not mind being Dandelion Queen instead," says Mimi.

" I can eat these but I am not sure that May is edible. These are yummy!"

Slave tells us that humans can eat the leaves of hawthorn. When she was little, they were called bread and cheese trees. We much prefer dandelions. More please. We all want to be Dandelion Queens and Kings.
