Hi all,
There are two things our slaves asked us to share.
First, Mieke will not make an Undercover Guinea Pigs Calendar for 2015.
We haven't recieved much replies yet, thank you to the ones who did send in pigtures.
And if our slave is honest, it really is quite some work, and she decided to not do it this year, maybe next year...
Secondly, we had word from M and the boys. They have succesfully moved house!
The boys now have a great patch of grass for summer! Unfortunately they don't have a good internet connection yet, that will take a few more weeks.
They are all doing well.
Wheeks and piggy kisses,
Woopy, Roos and Berke
p.s. There seems to be a piggy around that looks a bit like our beloved agent F....
p.s. 2 Auntie J, of Bo and Ties, keeps sending pigtures to mom as well, she keeps ooh-ing and aah-ing... What would that be about?

Repost: Different piggie breed pigtures wanted for the 2015 Undercover Guinea Pigs Calendar!
Hey all,
So I want to try to gather pigtures of your piggies of different breeds, so we can make a calendar for 2015 with a different breed every month.
As always I need your help! So please send me pigtures of your piggies. Pictures that show us how they look (or differ from other breeds) are most useful of course. Any breeds will do, please let us know what breed your piggie is, and if you have pigtures of late piggies in a particular breed, feel free to send them in too!
Every month in 2015 I would like to make a post about that month's particular breed. If you have any explanation about the breed (i.e. Rexes have curled wiskers, US teddies straight), know about special traits they have (for example of rexes it is often said they are bigger then other breeds). Maybe how they came in to existence (a mix of two other breeds) anything that is interesting for us to know, let us know.
Check on the contribute tab for our email address and send us your pigtures!
Please also send me their (agent) names and breed.
Thanks, I hope we can make another gorgeous Calendar for the upcoming year, and of course make a little profit we can donate to a shelter...
You can see most of our previous calendar piggies here. or click on the labels on the right side with Calendar 2014, 2013 or 2012.
Mieke,

Preparation for Calendar 2015 and new topic: Piggie breeds?
Hi all,
As it is already October, it is time to start gathering photos again for the calendar of 2015.
As always I will collect photos of your guinea pigs. By sending me the pigtures you allow us to use it in the calendar, and on the blog for calendar related posts.
The proceedings will be donated to a guinea pig shelter somewhere in the world, which you can nominate and vote for.
This year I would like to try a slightly different format. Before, we let people send in pigtures of their piggies, and every (group of) piggie(s) would get their own month.
For the upcoming year I would like to give all months a piggy breed theme: so for example one month for short/smooth-haired, one for abyssinians, one for rexes, one for US/CH teddies, one for crested, longhaired piggies and so on. I am not sure we can actually find 12 different breeds but I think we can also fill 2 months for some breeds...
Every month we can have a different breed, that will be discussed on the blog. So describing what the traits of a breed are, and other interesting information about that breed. Maybe we could also have a look at the different colorings?
For both gathering pigtures and more information about the different breeds I will need you help!
So what do you think, are we up for this?
Up to now I have always used Vistaprint for the calendars, because they have offices on all continents it seems, which reduces the shipping costs. I have not really found a better candidate yet, but if you have good suggestions for a company like Vistaprint, let me know.
So assuming we will do the next calendar is a Piggy breeds format, I made a list of what breeds I could think of. Please add a comment if you have piggies in those or other breeds and you can provide pigtures of your current or late piggies.
Happy wheeking,
Mieke
Guinea Pig Breeds (I could think of)

- Abyssinian
- Peruvian
- Rex
- US / CH Teddies
- Texel
