Message from Agent Thorntons

Hi Agent F.

Agent Thortons here.

The rescue that I lived in before becoming a Piggyfriend is having an open day this month to raise money for their cause. It is thanks to them that I and several other piggies and mice live here now so do you think that you could post a link on your blog? It is on Sunday, June 27th. from 10 to 5.

Raystede helps all kinds of animals from mice to horses and everything in between. They even find homes for hundreds of battery hens each year and treat and release many injured wild animals and birds. My friend Agent 101 visited the rescue with Algernon Rat when he was staying with us and his photos can be seen on the Remembering Alge blog.

We all hope that it is a nice day and that loads of people come along and help many more animals.

Thank you Agent F.

Thanks Agent Thorntons we hope you have lovely weather and that lots of humans come and you raise loads of money!!!

Dashing DEW (Dark Eyed White)

Agent Minty is the nearest me can find to a DEW piggy lets meet him

Hi Agent F,

I would be delighted to join the list of secret agents. Slave will have told you that I am not exactly what you are looking for so if a proper smooth coated DEW contacts you, I will step aside and he/she can take my place. Slave also wishes you good luck in finding a Lunkarya, as she has never seen one except in pigtures.

Slave has lots of pigtures of me but the only one not showing the ginger ring around my left eye is the one that I have attached, which is of me with my best friend, Copper. If this is not suitable, let me know and I will borrow her camera so that Copper can take a better one.

Now as to the questionnaire.

Real name - Polo
Secret Agent Name - Minty
You will guess why I chose this name but I wonder if our overseas friends will know why.
I was born in January 2009, the same as my friend, Copper, with whom I share a pen. We both arrived at our Rodentologists on the same day when we were 5 weeks old and were rehomed here together.
We live at Piggyfriends in S.E.England.
My favourie food is everything except for carrots, which Copper eats for me.
My favourite toy is Copper as we play together all the time when we are not eating.
Hobby? Well I suppose that must be eating and climbing up the wire of our pen shouting for more to eat. I am watchpig for our room and let the others know when Slave is coming with our meals.

My eyes really are dark but Slave's camera makes them look a little red. Probably something to do with all that red from Copper's coat. She can't find the disk to re-install Photoshop on her new computer so I hope that this is OK.

Thank you for inviting me.

Polo Piggyfriend.

Would you believe a DEW should be pure white with no other colours in the hair (dont turn around Agent Minty) the hair should be smooth and the eyes should be black, the ears and foot pads should be pink.

For our overseas friends this is what a Polo sweet is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polo_(sweet)

Agent Minty

Minty is a boy pig who is part of a mixed herd of piggies in the UK

His real name is a popular type of sweet with a hole

That and his secret agent name are big clues for those who also live in the UK, me is not sure if our overseas friends will be able to guess, but have a go

Get Guessing

We Have Power..........

OK so we never lost power but you know what me means

We are back online again hurray

Mummy is still fed up as she cant leave the house without getting stuck in road works and she cant understand why they are digging up the same roads that they dug up less than a year ago.

It must be a human thing, why would you want to leave the house unless it was to go to the garden???

Talking of gardens while we have had no internet we have been very busy mowing the lawn!!

Upgrades Grrrr

Mummy has just found out that all the phone lines in our street are being upgraded, this means we will be without internet from Wednesday - Friday or possible even Saturday.

Dont these humans know how important my internet is???

The Hay Review Part 6

My 6th hay is Oxbow Hay Cakes.

These are compressed cubes of hay made with 100% timothy hay, they come in 454g bag and cost Mummy £5.30

Hay cakes are no good for bedding rofl you cant really hide under them but you can use them as a pillow, if you can stop other naughty piggy from eating them out from under you (Agent Ghost naming no names)

Mummy gives us the occasional hay cake as a treat along side our regular hay.

These are yummy and give your teeth a good work out breaking them out.

Me would give these 8 out of 10
