Stormy weather...
Just now we heard a crashing noise, the chestnut tree in front of our house was blown over by the current stormy weather..
Mom and dad really liked this tree as it blocked the view to the newly built
Apartment building behind...
Luckily nothing was hit, but we will miss this tree. Especially as it survived the whole building process..

Yet Another Mystery Visitor
Agent Firenze reporting.
We have a visitor here at Piggyfriends and it is eating OUR veggies!
I can't make it out as it seems to be carrying its pigloo around with it. Some of the older agents tell me not to worry as they have seen it here before but it always goes home again before the veggies run out.
It certainly eats very slowly and I am sure that I could snatch that cucumber away before it notices.

Agent Wheeker doing a silent rumble
Our 'little' agent Wheeker was trying out her rumblestrut,
she didn't make any rumbling sounds with it, but she sure looked cute!

Agent I visiting the Guinygirlz
After our dear auntie Yaya (agent Piggy galore) passed away, our Uncle Igor came to visit us for the weekend. This way slaves hoped he wouldn't feel to alone. All the Guinygirlz were very interested in him (and the Hay!). Here's a small video our slaves made of the visit:

Giving piggies medicines by syringe
Actually we do not want to cooperate for this post, but as it's sometimes important to get medicines inside us, we are writing a post about
"How do slaves give unwilling piggies their medicines?"
Many piggie meds are in a fluid form, and can be given by syringe (without a needle!)
How do the slaves get it there?
Our guinea pig guru Peter Gurney tells us to wrap the piggy in a towel.
We do not use his exact way. Here is a more general description by Peter on how to get meds in the guinea pig.
Most important point about syringe feeding, administer slowly! Do not squirt the whole syringe content in our mouths in one go!
Also a tip from dad, direct the syringe towards the cheeks, so you don't get the meds squirted in the back of your throat.
We are put on a towel, the back will be wrapped over our butt, this way we can't back up. Then the sides are wrapped around us.
This should look something like this...
Some of us will refuse the syringe, that's why it is important to wrap us up tightly. Try to get our little front paws in as well, cause we can use them to wriggle out of slaves grip...
Some pigs do not seem to mind the syringe at all, or will get used to it after a while. Our Chico is one of those model pigizens, even grabbing the syringe for more..
More tips for administering medicines also in powder or pill form are welcome!
For the slaves that is...
So all be good pigs when taking your meds!

Lily being a really sweet pig most of the time, detests the syringe! |
Chico looks quite relaxed when taking his meds, (usually) there's no need for wrapping him! |
