All of the Piggyfriends want to wish their readers a Happy St. Patrick's Day.
Here is Bella, dressed for the occasion.
We will be eating lots of green food in honour of the day.
"Actually we have green food every day but maybe this is an opportunity to eat even more. Grass is beginning to grow after a very long winter and Slave will be going out with her shears to make sure that we can take advantage of it." says Bella.
Coke here, helping remember Peter Gurney on behalf of my brothers, Scottie and Fitz, and myself! Our dad lit candles at 8 p.m. on Mr. Gurney's birthday, March 9th, and shortly after, my mom took this photo. I hope you like the guinea-pig candle and the plush guinea pig, too. In the background you'll see two of Mr. Gurney's books. Our mom says she will read them to us, so we are excited. My brothers and I were very happy and honored to participate in this event in remembrance of Peter Gurney and other beloved friends and family who have passed on.
Every year our guinea pig community have a candle lighting ceremony, which we hold on March 9th. at 8 pm in our relative time zones. This day was chosen because it was the birthday of Peter Gurney, a tireless guinea pig advocate and the author of many of the piggy books that we use.
This year we chose our big black boar, Fionn, to light our candles and he was rewarded with this nice fresh grass.
Our Slave once met Peter when he signed his Piggy Potions book for her and our Rodentologists ( now sadly retired ) knew him well from working at the Cambridge Cavy Trust.
My name is Ceilidh and my blonde sister is called Shannon. Our Mum has been telling us how she learned to care for cavies from your book, Piggy Potions. Your book and the lessons she learned changed her life.
It led her to the CCT, the Cambridge Cavy Trust, where she studied how to provide healthcare to piggies using both conventional medicines and herbal remedies. You taught her how a little bit of honey helps the medicine go down. It is yummy too!!
You also taught her that there is often more than one way to go about solving a health problem. That advice set her off on a journey to learn from rodentologists and other lovers of guinea pigs from around the world how to provide the best care. She has all of your books and often sheds a tear when reading them. She explained to us that you have gone over the Rainbow Bridge and that you are looking after all the piggies until we can join them one day.
Happy Birthday from the Piggyville Girls of North Carolina, U.S.A.
This was on 25 February, we, guinygirlz Coco and Linn, visited a shelter in the south of the Netherlands. There we met the black and handsome boar Beer and sow Muffin. Both are teddies, Beer is a CH teddy and Muffin a US teddy. Coco started washing Muffin's eyes and ears within 15 minutes of meeting her. Beer was happily rumbling away and love to lie down next to his girls, especially Linn!
