Tall, Dark and Handsome

Dear readers of the undercover guinea pigs blog,

My name is Ties (pronounced as Tees. But you can also call me Mister T) and I am the new boar of the Winky team! Allow me to introduce myself. The ladies love me, and I love them even more. I am very cool an nothing much bothers me. Scissors, nails clippers.. No worries. The length of my hair or nails is of no consequence to my attractiveness.

LAPS

My hobbies are eating, sleeping and wooing girls, and I have to admit, I have Coco, Bo and the waitress firmly wrapped around my cute paws. Mind you, my paws are rather big. The girls have informed me that I qualify as a LAPS pig. I currently weigh 1380 grams, and I fully intend to get larger.

Scissors don't bother me

I checked out this blog, and saw that there is already another very handsome boar who contributes to this blog. But I am sure that Agent Zeppelin (aka Jimmy) and me can peacefully coexist. Maybe we should go out for carrot beers and join forces (ladies beware.. WOL).

Yours truly,
Ties

Calendar piggies of April: Amaris & Addison

The piggies of this month are Amaris and Addison Misfit. On our calendar they have a nice Easter pigture!

The misfits would like to share some pigtures of what the girls like to do.

 

They love to sit on Andy (their daddy) when he comes home from work.
All the misfits get turns. They love the extra cuddles.

Their misfit best-est friends are Riley, who lives  in the cage on the right.

And Charles in the cage on the left side.

  Amaris I think is in love with Riley and Addison is in love with Charles. They love to have long  brrrr brrrrr conversations about hay, fresh water, and carrots!
These two girls are such sweet little ladies. They both came to live with the misfits on Sept 1, 2012. When  the girls first came here to live, they would trim each others hair all the time. Now they are letting their hair grow out a bit. Its very pretty and so so soft.

Happy Easter to everyone from all the misfits.

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...

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

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...
