Look what Slave received at Christmas!

We were going to post this earlier but we wanted you to have plenty of time to meet new Guinygirl, Linn.

Slave's eldest son, our pigsitter, came to stay with us at Christmas and he gave her this calendar. It is full of lovely pigtures and is hanging where we can all see the pig of the month.

He also gave her this little book.

It is the next in the series of classic stories adapted by Bloomsbury Publishing to feature guinea pigs
in the starring roles. This one is the piggy version of the Nutcracker ballet. We all know how graceful piggies are don't we? Don't we........? Say yes everyone.

We particularly love the Sugar Plum Fairy pictured above. Slave always calls us her little sugar plums and we thought that this was appropriate.

And here is the handsome Nutcracker prince. We hope that Bloomsbury do not mind us sharing these photos especially as they might encourage our readers to go out and buy a copy.
