Happy Easter Everyone from the Piggyfriends

We have been given our very first mission as Undercover Agents! We have the honour of wishing everyone a very Happy Easter. It is not very covert but we are new Agents and we have to start somewhere.

 

As you can see in our pigture, we got to meet the famous Algernon Rat, who called in to wish us a Happy Easter but it seems to us that he was more interested in Slave's chocolate Easter Eggs. Slave says that we sat very still for our photoshoot and she only put the kale in front of us to prevent us from eating the flowers, which would have been dangerous. We both love kale.

 

Wishing you all a very Happy Easter and if you do not celebrate this festival, you can at least enjoy a yummy egg.

 

All the best from Agents 88 - part of the Piggyfriends clan.

We hope this makes you smile. For those of you who celebrate, Happy Easter!



Have a nice Wheekend!

Woopy: I turned 6 today!

Today was my 6th birthday, a milestone for me but also for my slaves, as I am now officially the oldest guinea pig they have ever owned!
Veggies and carrot beer all around...

This is how to use a house, right?

PiggieDating: Our visit to t Kuufke

When we arrived we were put in this big cage and
a black, brown and white boar came in...

The first attempt at matching us was succesful: So this is our new friend Bérke,
which means 'little bear' in southern dutch dialect

Alright mom, stop taking pigtures... (Of course she took loads more)

One of the volunteers at t Kuufke had a soft spot for rexes and US teddies, so she also took pigtures of our girls with Bérke... They are now on t Kuufke's facebookpage! The text above the photo says 2 boars were rehomed (our Bérke and a new friend for our cousins Bo and Coco ;), a bit about what was done that day in the shelter and about the calender and thanking everyone who voted for them and the people who made the calendar possible.

So as you probably remember t Kuufke was the shelter who won our donation for this years' Undercover guinea pigs Calendar proceeds. We donated a total of 150 euros to them, they were really happy with it, and let us know that 6 boars can be neutered with our donation (Sorry guys!). This will help those guys find a new home with one or more nice sows.
Thanks everyone for making the calendar possible again by sending in lovely pigture, and buying the calendar. I want to send a special thank you to the people who donated extra, you know who you are ;) Of course we couldn't not show you a bit of the shelter, so here is a short impression

Some of the cages at t Kuufke....

The big pen with elderly piggies and other piggies that will not be rehomed

Spencer, he reminded us very much of our late Chico

Farouk, Piaras in the back

The shelter also takes care of gerbils, hamsters, mice, rabbits...
And these two Chinchilla's...

and Degus, this is the ladies group: a big pile of degus...

Friday Video: the Cutest Animals

Even though we disagree with the title (guinea pigs are the cutest!). We must admit, they are pretty cute


Have a cute Wheekend!

RIP Sjeuf

We get writer's block when one of our herd goes to the rainbow bridge. We absolutely hate it when it happens and prefer to sulk quietly in a corner and blink away a few tears. Then we move on, every now and then enjoying the memories we have. We are not good at writing long memorials, even though every pig who lived with us fully deserves one.

This is why we are so late in telling you guys that our Sjeuf passed away on Christmas morning. J found him face down in the cage. We are still not sure what happened.

Sjeuf, we love you and miss you. Happy popcorning at the bridge and say hi to our friends from us.

Shy boy

Rest in peace, sweetie

Coco, Bo and Janneke

Piggie Dating: The time is almost here... (updated again!)

So upcoming saturday we will travel to t Kuufke to find us a new friend! Our Auntie J's girls Coco and Bo will also come along to find a new friend for themselves.

This means the piggies that are now in the shelter are actually likely candidates to come home with us!
The Boars
Currently there are 11 boars that are not reserved already, and who have been helped so they can join us without adding more piggies to our herd...

Mom still really likes Farouk, he was born in November 2013.

Farouk has been reserved for a new home...

Dad likes Rob, he's from February 2013

And then there is Berke, he's from Oktober 2011, so he is one month older then our Roos

A big favorite of both our slaves is Spencer, but he has not been neutered....

If you want to see all neutered boars, have a look here, the ones with text below it in red are already reserved (like Connal).

The Sows

There are 4 sows at the moment that are not reserved already. We have no real preference for them and will see how they are in real life this saturday...

Gaella has been rehomed last wednesday!

This last lady Tilde is already reserved, and still pregnant at the moment, but Mom loves her looks...

Tilde gave birth to 4 piglets thurday night, 3 boars, 1 sow

You can see her kids on Kuufke's facebook page:
See their Pigtures
Wish us good luck this Saturday, we will report once we have news...

Wheekz,
the Guinygirlz
