Pigs with Hats

You would think that, with all the junk she has laying around here, our Slave would have been able to find us hats for this competition. Other than the Christmas hat which has already been featured, she could only come up with a tiara, which is not really a hat but I hope that this will count.
 
I was not keen on wearing these but, after being bribed with some chicory, this is the best that I could do.
 
You'll have to excuse my wet chin. These poses needed a lot of chicory. Yummy.

New Agents: Peggy, Daisy, Mabel & Betty!

Hello fellow-agents! We’re 4 little piggies in the UK who would like to introduce ourselves to all the other agents on this page!

 

 

I am agent Peggy. I am the boss here and get all the best food for myself – which I why I’m currently a curvy 1.3kg . I had a rubbish year last year and got cysts on my ovaries. They made me very grumpy so my human slaves sent me for an operation.  I was so cross about this that I didn’t eat for ages and lost all my lovely curves. My slaves gave me lots of sloppy food in a syringe for weeks and weeks. In the end, I got totally fed up of it and decided it was just going to be easier all round if I started eating on my own again. Here’s a picture of me trying to catch up on my sleep while the other idiots I share a cage with generally mess around and disturb my beauty sleep.

 

 

This is my sister, Agent Daisy. She’s not too bad I suppose. She’s less stupid that the other two but she does eat a lot which gets on my nerves.

 

 

This hairy little monster turned up last year, her name is Agent Mabel. As soon as she saw me, she thought I was her mum and followed me everywhere. Daisy didn’t help at all with babysitting even though I offered to give her extra cucumber. However, Agent Betty turned up a few months later and since then, Agent Mabel is generally preoccupied playing stupid baby games with her so I get a bit more peace.

 

 

Here is Agent Betty. I do try and be nice to her because her old owners didn’t want her anymore and I felt really sorry for her. The human slaves picked her up from her old owners one dark, snowy evening with a rabbit friend! Both of them were very cold because they had been outside and didn’t have a proper roof. Well, I wasn’t going to share my house with a rabbit so he carried on his journey to a nice rescue centre to find a new rabbit friend. Betty couldn’t join us for a while because she was very scared and had lice! Everyone thought she was a baby because she was very small but after a few weeks, she came to live with us and put on weight so quickly, she’s now nearly as heavy as Agent Daisy and she’s 1.5 years old! She really got on my nerves at first because as soon as I went to say ‘hi’, she’s run a mile and sit there shaking. The human slaves thought I was being nasty to her but I wasn’t! I think she was scared after living with that big, old rabbit! Anyway, we were very nice to her and shared all our stuff and now she always gets the best spots to sleep, which isn’t fair really and we were here first. Oh well...

 

 

I’ll sign off for now. Thanks for listening to our stories. Much love, Agent Peggy xxxx

Bath Time: the Archives

We from the Winky team are fortunate enough to have never had a bath. But we do have the archives with Jan the Boar, Suus, Yaya, Lotje and Guiny. These pigtures were made when they had a minor fungal infection and had to be treated with the Gorgeous Guineas products.

Before:
Pretty Suus

First, our brave pigs would get an oil treatment
I hate you
Little hedgehog
After wearing the oil for a few hours, the bathing would start
OMG
Noooo..
Peh.
Then our heroes faced the shampooing
Jan the Boar all lathered up
After that, they were rinsed with water again to get the shampoo out. Suus used her super jumping powers for revenge.
REVENGE!!!
Finally they were taken out and blown dry
Ghaaaaahh..
Lotje had a curly belly
Look at the pretty curls
We didn't find many 'after' pigtures, we guess our heroes were not up for smiling prettily into the camera after this ordeal.

If your slave is sniggering while watching these photo's we suggest peeing during lap time.

Fundraising Pig T-shirts

Hi there

 

I’ve just been looking at your blog – its brilliant!

 

I wondered if you might be interested in a new online shop I’ve opened selling all sorts of guinea pig t-shirts and clothing.

 

I noticed you have Glynneath Guinea pig Rescue in the blog hop – I’ve got a special range which I’ve designed especially for them to help raise money for the rescue.

 

I wasn’t sure if you were in America or the UK but I have a shop for both. The American one is here http://popcornprints.spreadshirt.com/ and the UK one is here http://www.popcornprints.co.uk/

I also have a facebook page http://www.facebook.com/pages/Popcorn-Prints/313915968619262

 

I would appreciate it so much if you would like to mention my t-shirts on your blog. I’ve attached a picture you could use.

 

Thanks so much, Louise xxx

Agent Christmas and her Mardi Gras Hat




Agent Christmas featured on the blog way back in 2010 but at that point she didn't have an agent name.

The clues to her real identity are;
She lives in New York
Her real name is how you feel at Christmas or how you wish others feel at Christmas.

Get guessing....

We *heart* Bertie Pig

Ever since we were joined the online guinea pig community, we've always loved the adventures of Leah's Pigs.

Currently, the extremely handsome Bertie Pig lives with her, and we absolutely swoooon over his photo's. What a good looking boar! So, for your viewing pleasure, we recommend you head on over to their facebook album
for his Valentine's Day pigtures.
