Butternut Squash; we don't get it either

Dear Ghost and Penny,

I have no idea. When our staff purchased a so called butternut squash back in January, she couldn't stop giggling. And to make it worse, she made these pigtures. Humans are so weird.

No offense meant, miss Penny. I've been told that you're one of the kindest humans on the web. I  hope you feel better soon. Veggies picked out by home shoppers sounds horrible. Some things are too important to be left to others ;-)

Yours truly,

Aagje (you can call me Aggie if Aagje is too hard)

See! Totally different!

The indignity

Don't tell me this face isn't cuter than than the butternut squash!

Friday Video: Your Guinea Pig Pal

How cute is this video? A quick note though; licking stones are not neccesary, and don't keep us with rabbits. It's much better to pair us up with another guinea pig. A good shelter can help you with this!


Have a nice Wheekend!

Friday Video: Love Your Pet Day

Today is love your pet day!
Our J just told us that we make the whole house livelier with our antics and that is why she loves us. So spill the beans, why do you love your pet?



We hope you all have a Lovely day, and Wheekend ofcourse ;-)

Meet the new girls!

Winky team has new additions! Meet Esk and Aagje!

Despite her qualifications as an escape artist, Esk is short for Eskarina the first female wizard on the Discworld. Aagje is our Curious Georgina, or as we say in dutch: Nieuwsgierig Aagje, constanly investigating, licking and biting things. She's also quite the commentator, muttering to herself when she's scurrying around the cage.

Aagje and Esk come from the Knaaghof. A very nice animal shelter in The Hague. Someone dumped Esk and Aagje together with four other pigs at a play farm and the shelter took them in and nursed them back to health. The pigtures that you see in this post, come from the facebook page of the knaaghof. They graciously allowed us to use them here. We can really tell that they were treated well in the shelter. They are such sweet girls, and it is obvious that they are used to being handled. They behave so well when their nails and hair are cut, or when their ears are cleaned 

We are so happy with our herd of four (Ties, Bo, Esk and Aagje) we cannot imagine that we ever lived with only three pigs in our household (okay.. Coco had enough pigsonality for two. But still)
