Food from the balcony

We are currently enjoying the balkony very much. We have gotten seeds from the Guiny girlz and our waitress has planted them in a pot.

Since she has sown too much of them, she picks a little every day and we get to eat it!

Yum! We loooove these!

The balcony where our waitress likes to bask in the sun like a big pink lizard when she is not busy bringing us food. She is also growing strawberries and a variety of herbs so we are looking forward to the summer.

For an animal without fur, this desert rain frog is pretty cute. Or to be more precise; sounds extremely cute



Have a nice Wheekend!

We meet a VIP

It was a very special day at Piggyfriends yesterday as we had a visit from a VIP piggy person. It was the famous Ann Evans from the GPDD. She spent Tuesday visiting our Rodentologists and on Wednesday she came to see us. We were very honoured to meet such a important guest. Ann was so very nice and picked us all up for a cuddle. She agreed to have her photo taken for the blog and I was chosen to be in the pigture as I am the biggest ( although most of me is my curly coat ) and would show up better than the smaller Piggyfriends.

Ann brought Slave a bottle of wine and some yummy chocolate from her trip to France and we were able to give her a bottle of Vet Sect Repel shampoo for her piggies back home in Piggyville, Florida. She can't buy this wonderful shampoo in the US.

Ann and her husband went out for breakfast and dinner with Slave and her family but, for some reason, piggies are not allowed in restaurants so we had to stay home. We had a lovely day and wish that she did not live so very far away.

Woopy turned 5 today!

Today, 16 April our girl Agent lil'Woop turned 5 years old!

In an attempt to actually film a sleeping Daisy (the one with grey and white head), Woopy shows us how agile she still is, putting her backleg up in the air.
Lily is munching hay and pellets on the right, Roos is mostly out of view...



Slave also did an earlier attempt to film the sleeping Daisy, but Roos barges in...



Happy birthday Agent Lil'Woop!
Even with her age, she is still the boss over the other girls Lily, Daisy and Roos.

Carrot beers or juice all around...

Agent Magician aka Poof, reporting in: 

A big wheeking hello to everyone and everypig! 

My story begins when as a baby cavy, I was abandoned in a cardboard box on the side of a freeway. A kindly human found me before it was too late and brought me to a local rescue. Although I was thankful to have food and a cage to stay in, I was very shy and nervous around people. I lived there for several months before my humans stopped by for a rescue event.

Poof at the Rescue

Slave was working her way down the row of cages, saying hello to and feeding all the other rescue pigs before she came to my cage - the very last one in the row. Even though she wasn't looking to adopt, she couldn't leave me there after holding me and hearing my story. I went with her to my forever home that very same day. 

After a mildly bumpy introduction process I settled down with Agents Acorn, Godiva, and Mango (Belka, Truffle, and Peaches). To my humans' amusement, I rule over my cagemates with an iron paw - no one is welcome to share MY pigloo when I am occupying it - but am very sweet towards my slaves during cuddle time.

Things that make me a happy peeg include eating herbs, grazing grass, and napping on soft cozies. Things that make me an unhappy peeg include bubble baths, having my authority challenged by my new neighbor Abby-Roo, and visiting the vet. I am currently in a relationship with a handsome boar named Winks who lives in the UK. 

In addition to my regular job as full time pig, I moonlight as a piggy model/food critic on the Cali Cavy Collective guinea pig blog (along with the rest of my herd). Since my responsibilities consist of eating food, providing an opinion on said food, and looking cute, I can't complain!  

Best wishes and much food to all,

Agent Magician
