Happy 4th of July

Me is still having puter problems so me is posting this special report from Agents Bumblebee and Dinosaur early.

Me is still waiting for reports from other US piggies get working.....

In the United States, Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, political speeches and ceremonies, and various other public and private events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the United States. Independence Day is the national day of the United States. We little secret agent piggies will help mommie set off some fireworks, and have pignic!!

Agent Incognito

Agent Incognito has the colouring to be a tortoiseshell or a brindle he has red and black hair.

To be a tortoiseshell he would need to have smooth hair and distinct patches of red and black with no mixing of colours.

To be a brindle he would also need to be smooth haired but this time the red and black hairs would intermingle evenly.

Lets meet Agent Incognito

Hi AgentF, Thank you for your condolences on Agent Master of Disguise's passing. I know that in his short time as an agent, he helped make the world a better place, and I can only hope that I will be able to do half as good a job.

 I am honored that you need a tortoiseshell gp and have invited me to become a secret agent. I am still feeling sad, but my mom said I would feel better if I helped others, so I stand at the ready. Included are my answers to your questionnaire, and a photo.

 Thank you again.

Your friend,Friday

 Secret Agent Name? Agent Incognito

 Why did you chose the Name? I always wear a mask. :)

 Favourite food? Cucumber -- yum!

Favourite hobby? Jumping on my (low) shelf in the kitchen to ask for  food.

 Favourite toy? My bell, which I love to ring.

 Any other comments? I hope to carry on in the tradition of all brave piggies who've worked to make the world a better place.

Guest Number 21

Agent Incognito is a boy piggy living in the SE of America

At the moment he is living with just his Mummy and Daddy but me hopes to report that he has been joined by a new friend very soon.

His real name is the same as one of the best days of the week.

Get guessing.................

Why are Humans so Dumb???

Mummy phoned up the internet humans who told her she needed a new disk and they would send one in 3 working days.

3 working days came and went no disk, Mummy phoned again disk out of stock they would send another one.

Saturday disk arrives me gets all excited Mummy tries it same problem, Daddy looks its the same disk we had already!!! Stupid stupid humans.

Mummy phones again they will send new disk in 3 working days, back to square one.

As you can imagine me is not a happy pig about this.

Health update me has gained a little weight now 943g and me has allowed Mummy to syringe me some food and some herbal medicine.

Dont worry piggies me is still resisting the syringe most of the time and pushing food out with my tongue.

Remember Raystede

Me was going to post this tomorrow but me is having puter problems and have no internet at home until at least next week.

My puter kept refusing to start so Daddy had to reboot it using the disk and now it wont recognise my modem, thanks Vista. Me is waiting for a new disk to arrive to make my modem work but now they tell me it wont be here until next week.

Me thinks Bill Gates doesnt know how important a working puter is to us guinea pigs.

Sunday is the open day at Raystede rescue so anyone who can get there....get there and get pigtures.

That is a Secret Agent order.

Once again we hope they weather is great and that loads of money is raised.

Medical Update

Now me doesnt want you to worry (trust me Mummy is worrying enough for the world) but those of you who have followed my blog for a while will know me has been causing concern with my unexplained weight loss.

Me has been to the normal vet several times in the last few months only to be told they can find nothing wrong.

Mummy was not happy with this and finally managed to find a vet who had trained with Peter Gurney.

Well yesterday they have run all sorts of tests on me including x-rays and blood tests and what they have found is that me has kidney stones.

Me has 2 stones stuck in the uretha (tubes between kidney and bladder) one from each kidney and it looks like me has 2 more forming again one in each kidney.

Well these stones have caused kidney and liver damage and where they are at the moment they are inoperable.

Me is at home with Mummy and Daddy (and Ghost) now but we dont know how long me has left before me goes to join Agents Thunderbear and Master of Disguise at the bridge.

Mummy is going to try some herbal remedies that have been recommended Hydrangea Root Tincture and Chanca Plus Powder to see if this helps break the stones down.

My weight is now down to 925g and me looks very skinny but me is still keen to get my veggies and of course me makes Mummy's life difficult by fighting the syringe and refusing to co-operate.

Me will give you regular updates on what is happening with me, but me doesnt want you to stop your good secret agent work.

Me still wants to introduce new guest and to hear about different celebrations so keep me updated, me needs you lot to keep me entertained.

Mummy says if anyone has any suggestions please let her know.

Now get back to your secret agent work.

Angelic Alpaca

Lets meet Agent Aerial

Hello Agent F,

Sorry about the delay, a few computer issues!

Real Name - Evil Edna
Secret Agent Name - Aerial
Why did you chose your secret agent name - Will o the wisp character
Age - Nearly 6
Who do you live with - Elizabeth and 2 upstarts
Where do you live - England
Favourite food - Very difficult question, too many to choose from, Parsley or cucumber or romaine lettuce or hay cookies.
Favourite toy - Paper bag filled with hay
Hobbies - Keeping younger pigglies off my hay, grass cutting
Anything else you would like to say - As a senior pig, I want older pigs to have more food and hay than the younger upstarts and for them to do as they are told.

Alpaca pigs are long curly haired pigs that come in many different colours. Mummy has to take me to get my hair cut at the vets or else it gets too tangled. I would have a lovely fringe as well if the pesky little pigs hadn't chewed it off.

[caption id="attachment_802" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Agent Aerial"][/caption]

 Alpacas are long coated rexoid peruvian piggies they should have 2 rosettes that are placed so that the hair comes over the face.  The coat should be soft springy and even with undamaged ends and a parting.

The hair should be unmatted so a comb can easily pass through.

The head should be short and broad with bright eyes and drooping well set ears.

Me says Aerial looks at Angelic as she is.
