Wheee are The Nubbins Nine and we would like to officially join the ranks of the Undercover Guinea Pigs as individual Agents and Agents-in-Training. Lettuce introduce our piggy selves:

Agent-in-Training Benson weighs in at 606 g. Age 2 1/2 months.
My real name in the first name of the actress who plays Law & Order character Benson..
I'm the second speediest in this group and hard to catch. As an agent in training, I'm able to help free anyone, anytime in record time.

Agent-in-Training Spaetzle weighs in at  614 g. Age 2 1/2 months
My real name is from the same language as my agent name and, like my agent name, it also contains the letter z.
I'm the speediest of us all and I like to talk. As an agent in training, I'd be an excellent messenger.

Agent in Training Orchid weighs in at 671 g. Age 2 1/2 months
My real name is the same as a variety of orchid.
I'm a natural-born something, I'm just not sure what. As an agent, you can think of me as pure potential to be and do anything!

Agent in Training O weighs in at 956 g. Age 9 months
My real name begins with the letter O. I've been told by Agent Stargirl (a 12 year old human) that my agent name is very mysterious.
I'm a super-pig with prodigious talents with jumping and climbing. My hero is Superman.

Agent Carroll weighs in at 1073 g. Age 12 months
My real name is the lead character in a story written by Carroll.
I'm a quiet, steady pig who loves to snuggle and to take adventures. As an agent, I offer a steadying influence in crowds.

Agent Indy weighs in at 1097 g. Age 14 months
My real name happens to be the same as a famous auto racing driver.
I'm very talkative and generally considered the best Spokespig of The Nine. As an agent, I offer skills in international translation and negotiation.

Agent Dunham weighs in at 1118 g. Age 12 months
My real name is the first name of FBI Agent Dunham on show Fringe.
I'm mild mannered, quiet and smart. As an agent I hold the powers of observation.

Agent Sullivan 1230 g. Age 13 months
My real name is the first name of a character with my agent name as her last name on the Canadian show The Guard.
When about to be picked up, I scream and run, then I'm fine. I also like to lift my butt off the blanket I'm being held with before I pee. As an agent, I would like to help scared or traumatized creatures feel safe upon rescue.

Agent Shakti weighs in at 1302 g. Age 3 years
My real name is one of the many names and manifestations of the Hindu Goddess.
I'm the matriarch of The Nine. As an agent, I offer confident (if not bossy) leadership for all adventures.

Our group secret agent name, The Nubbins Nine, comes from a play on words from episodes 6 & 7 of season 1 for a current science fiction show currently airing season 3.

Wheeee look forward to lots of helpful and kind adventures. Actually, does anyone know ... Has a Undercover Agent team been dispatched to Japan?

XOXOXO

Piggy people everywhere if you have a spare moment check the freeads/ preloved in your area lets see if we can help find this piggy.

We can only imagine how devestated his poor human must be.

Could someone let the human know that we have made this post as we are not members of facebook

Thank you

Mademoiselle Chanel

Bonjour!

It is time to reveal my real identity *drumroll*


My real name is Coco
I live with Agent I and I'm almost 8 months old. My hobbies are popcorning, chasing Agent I and getting a massage from J.
I'm not actually French (good guess, piggyfriends!) but as a secret agent I like to practice with different identities.

I got my name in the shelter, and J decided to keep it because apparently, Igor and Coco are a famous couple (librarians.. *sigh*). She thinks we were meant to be (I think agent I is a grumpy old man and enjoy teasing him ;-))

Agents in training weigh-in

Hello piggy agents and devoted slaves. Boomer and Starbuck are settling in very well, they already have become used to cuddles. Weighing them to see how far off Agent weight they are was easy. Judging by their current rate of food intake I'd guess they will reach 1kg by, ooooooo, Easter!

Boomer: 549 grams
Starbuck: 539 grams

Introducing new agents in training

Hello,

After the sad passing of Agent Lettuce we decided to get some new pigs- the house was so empty without the squawkings and huffings of our furry little tyrant. So (drumroll please), I am delighted to intoduce our new pigs. They are still very skittish so have not been weighed yet, I can report though that they are tucking into apple, parsley and a limited amount of fresh grass from the garden. Both pigs are named for characters from my favourite television programme, Battlestar Galactica, named for female characters (they are little sows) who fly a viper and a raptor. The black and white pig has many copies and they have a plan, while the crested pig has a complicated relationship with her commanding officers and is also the name of a well-known seattle based coffee company. Launch all Vipers, set condition one throughout the fleet and start your guessing!
