Happy Christmas Readers!

Carter Piggyfriend here. On behalf of the Piggyfriend herd, I would like to wish you all a very Happy Christmas.

I hope that you all received lovely presents from your Slaves and that you are full of carrots and other good things. Now all of you be good piggies and let your Slaves have the rest of the day off after preparing Christmas feasts for the humans.

Slave Penny says Happy Christmas to all the readers too.

Happy Holidays!

Nugget here. I've never been in a holiday photo without my brother Eddie
or my brother Stuart Little, but this year (not for long, my mom tells
me) I am a lone pig. Therefore I am here with my buddies Tommy the Elk
and, of course, Snoopy. We had fun posing together. I hope my mom and
dad put lots of goodies in my stocking, and I hope you get lots of
wonderful treats, too!

Sometimes posing for a pigture is a little bit scary.

Martin Piggyfriend here. Slave is taking lots of Christmas pigtures ( there is no stopping her once she gets out her camera ) and she wanted me to pose with this huge reindeer.

How come Bonbon and Magnus got to pose with the pretty things from the boxes? This was a step too far so I ran and hid underneath it.

Slave's son is home for Christmas so he picked me up to show me that the reindeer was not really scary just BIG compared to a little piggy like me. Actually, up close, he looks rather friendly so.....

.....I agreed to sit next to him and this is the result.

After all that excitement, I flaked out for a nice nap. I was too tired even to tackle that chicory leaf  ( but I did eat it later ).

We have received a Christmas card!

"Look piggies! We have received a Christmas card," says Miss Marple Piggyfriend.

" And it has lovely piggies on the front. I will prop it up so that you can all see it."

Miss Marple shrewdly suspects that she has seen these piggies before and she is right.

She opens the card and detects that it has been sent by our friends the Surrey Squeakers.

" Thank you Squeakers," say all the Piggyfriends in unison " and thank you to Slave Stefanie too."

The Piggyfriends cannot help but notice that the Squeakers are eating grass, which is in short supply here at the moment as Slave's friend's farm is flooded due to the endless rain.

Magnus is helping too.

Here is another box of pretty Christmas things from the attic. Maguns is helping to unpack them.

" Mama Bonbon said that there might be carrots in the next box," says Magnus.

" I do not think that this is what she had in mind, Slave. This is a nice, jolly carrot and it is fuzzy and orange just like me but it is not what I was expecting."

" How about this one sweetie?" asks Slave. " Now that is more like it," says Magnus. " Thank you! I will share it with Martin."

I am helping.

Hello readers. Bonbon Piggyfriend here.

Slave brought boxes and boxes of pretty things down from the attic and I am helping.

"Look!" says Slave. "Candy canes."

"Well, yes, they look very nice but I am not sure that they are edible. Maybe there will be carrots in the next box."

Are your Slaves doing weird things like this?

More photos of our new girls.

Bounty loves his new girls. Our pigsitter came to visit and he held them on his lap so that Slave could take some better photos. Please excuse the tatty towels but Slave did not want him to end up with soggy trousers.

Here is Saffron

And here is Ebony.

Slave loves an agouti because they are a different colour underneath. You never see this so here she is in an undignified pose so that you can see her orange tum.

Our new girls have settled in really well and have discovered the radiator that runs along the back of the pen. They would rather nap here with Bounty than use their wooden house. Slave tried to take a photo of them all in a row but they saw the camera coming and scattered. Maybe next time!
