Take note egg card, you should have kept with the guinea pig adverts who wants to see dolphins, keep it small and furry!!

Fuzzypeg before and after

When we posted pigtures of Alpacas the other week, Pat and the Prairie Pigs commented about the pigtures of Fuzzypeg before and after, which we shared with the readers of the GPDD at the time.

Some of you reading this now might not have seen these so we thought that we would show them again.

Fuzzypeg came to us from a home where the slave did not know how to care for long haired piggies. He came with Gandalf, whom you will have seen on this blog and he is a Coronet and was not in such bad shape as Fuzzypeg. He just needed a haircut round the back and had his nails clipped

Fuzzypeg's coat was totally matted and full of bits of hay so a lot had to be removed. As Pat said, there was enough taken off to knit a couple of guinea pigs.

Here you can see a whole bagful of surplus hair - as big again as Fuzzypeg himself.

Then he had a shampoo and had his curly nails cut. Here he is drying off.

And here he is enjoying a snack after all that pampering. As you can see he still has some of his curly coat left but minus the mats and tangles.

Moral of this tale is that if you own a long haired piggy, keep up with the hairdressing. Of course, if you are reading this blog, you already know that!

Alpaca piggies for our card game

Hello piggies everywhere. We are wondering if there are any Alpaca piggies who would like to join in our project. Maybe a Slave has a pigture of an Alpaca who is reading this from the Rainbow Bridge. An Alpaca is a Rexed Peruvian. ie they have long coats which fall forward over their eyes and the coat is wavy. Our Slave always trims their fringes so that they can see out and we can see their lovely faces.

We will start this off with Piggyfriend Alpacas.

Here are Snickers on the left and her father, Leo. They belonged to Slave's friend and they used to board with us when she went away on holiday. Eventually they came to live with us full time.

 And here is our Fuzzypeg.

Our Slave knows that a member of the GPDD had an Alpaca who looked the image of our Fuzzypeg but she can't remember who he belonged to. She even has his photo in her vast collection of pigtures. If this Slave could get in touch and give her permission, we would love to add this photo.

Friday Video: Fun Treat for Piggies

We have had toilet roll tubes stuffed with hay and they are great fun especially when you hit your cage mates over the head with them **heehee** but we think adding fresh veggies will make them even more fun

Crested piggie

Agent Cookie: Hi, I have a different colour crest. My pals on Twitter call it a pigwig. It's like having a polar cap, except on your head. Cookie x
