Piggie dating: Did we start too early?

Hi all,

We have another update about our potential new cage mate.
Maybe we started this 'looking-at-possible-candidates' a bit too early...

The Boars
Arjen, the cute boar, is gone, so that is good news for him as he has found a new forever home.
Willem, the CH(swiss) Teddy, has been reserved so he will leave soon to his new forever home.
Chip, the nice silver one, has also gone to his new forever home!
So that were our male candidates... they all found a new home, so they will not be coming home with us...

Our female slave really has a weak spot for Piaras, but he is still intact so chances of him coming home with us are quite small...
Piaras, born 11 February at the shelter
Mom loves his little face... unfortunately (for us) he is still intact

The Sows
As said Gaia has been reserved to go to her new home as soon as her babies are ready for her to leave. Her little daughter Gemma is still at the shelter, so she is still an option.

Mom and dad however were ooh-ing and aah-ing over this little girl named Chloe
Chloƫ, born 18 February at the new home of her mom Cathleen (Cathleen was rehomed without knowing she was pregnant)
our slaves: AAAAaaaaaawww, what a cutie! *melt*
There are more little ones who look cute, and we heard from our good friends the GekkeFlappies (Agent zeppelin and Pepper) that some new piggies arrived from Brussels, 2 of them are sows...

To be continued...
the Guinygirlz: Woopy, Daisy & Roos

Peter Gurney Memorial: this Sunday 9 March

From the GPDD:

"Everyone is invited to participate in our Annual Candle-Lighting Memorial, on March 9th, at 8:00 pm, in your particular time zone.  This is our annual candle-light memorial to officially remember Peter Gurney and all of our dear friends, both 2 and 4 legged, who are no longer with us, but are together at the Rainbow Bridge.  This has been our annual tradition for the past 8 years, and all you have to do is light a candle on March 9th, at around 8:00 pm, in memory of the piggies, and others that we want to remember.

For those who want to read more about this wonderful tradition of the GPDD, see the GPDD homepage, (www.gpdd.org), and the wonderful map and list of all the places where candles were lit last year.

Please mark your calendars for March 9th, 8:00 pm, and be a part of this wonderful memorial.  After March 9th, I'll ask you to post on the GPDD and let me know where you lit your candle - city, state, and country.

As candles are lit in each time zone, the light will move around the world, and all those at the Rainbow Bridge will see our lights, and know that we are thinking of them.

(Remembering Gordon and Reese, at the Rainbow Bridge)"

Piggie dating: Guinygirlz update

So here is a small update, as could partly be read in the comments of our previous post.

We are pretty sure that the people that came to see Chip liked him, as he is no longer on the kuufke website. We are glad he found a new home but a bit sad we did not get to date this pretty silver boy.  Our mom's colleague already named him shadow.

There is now a picture of Gaia's daughter Gemma and her 2 sons on the website. See the boys Gijs and Goofy here
Isn't she the cutest?

In other good news (for us) Arjen and Willem are still there, though unfortunately (for us again) Willem is still intact so he cannot join us...

And the winner is....

Dutch shelter: 't Kuufke!!!

We would like to thank everyone who voted for them, and the other shelters.
We will have to do the precise maths, but we think 150 euros were raised by selling calendars, plus some extra donations.  You know who you are, thanks!

As the Guinygirlz wrote in their post, we will visit the shelter in April, hopefully we can them let you know what they did with our donation.

A very big thank you again to everyone who contributed pigtures, bought calendars, nominated shelters, voted for them and told others to vote!!
