Me Has Broken A Resolution

Last night mummy caught me pulling Ghost's ear.

Me had broken resolution before then but it doesnt count if no one else sees you do in!!!

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeek

Happy Birthday Agent I

Today is Agent I's birthday.

Like me he has reached the grand old age of 3!!

Way to go Agent I.

We want to hear what presents you get.

Silky Sheltie

Here in the UK agent Carrot would be known as a Sheltie while in the US he would be know as a Silkie, confusing huh.

Shelties are a long haired variety of guinea pig, his Mummy cuts his hair (me thinks me would make a better hairdresser!!)

Sheltie hair can be any colour but it must be swept back from the face, the mane sweeps back to join the sweep and there must be no parting, the shoulder hair should fall evenly around the sides and the sweep hair (thats butt hair to you and me) should be longer than the sides and fall over the hind quarters.

The face should have short hair, the hair of a Sheltie is not as dense as that of a peruvian.

The Sheltie breed was originally developed by breeding a peruvian with a self black.

Show Shelties have to keep their hair in wrappers to stop it getting chewed and mucky.

Here is Agent Carrot

Agent Carrot please can you report your story for us.

Agent Carrot is a boy member of a mixed herd in the UK

He joined the herd with his brother when his previous owners marriage broke up

We dont know why he chose the name Agent Carrot, maybe its his favourite food?

His real name is English in orgin and means Noble Ruler and is the same as Agent Dinosaur, no cheating and looking at the archives.

Guess now

New Years Resolutions

On the 31st December the humans have a traditon of making resolutions for the following year.

A resolution is like a promise.

Me has come up with a few resolutions for next year.

1) Me will try not to pull Ghost's ear no matter how tempting it is.

2) Me will try not to bite Daddy's fingers, even when he sticks them through the cage and wiggles them.

3) Me will try not to scare Mummy any more and put lots of weight on

What are your resolutions?

Gifts for the Humans

Well if your human is addicted to all things Guinea the best play to shop for a gift for them would be the winking cavy store.

As you can see they have everything a human could ever want and much more, just make sure you hide YOUR egg card from the humans!!

Riotious Ridgeback

Agent Dinosaur (has the ridge down her back like dinosaur get it??)

Ridgebacks are a rare breed variety, the breed standard is that they have a smooth short coat with with a ridge of hair standing erect from the base of the neck to the hips. 2 rosettes are allowed to form the ridge.

Here is Agent Dinosaurs story........................

Her story is: she was left at a local feed and seed place here in Moline named Teskes. They had her for over a month before I found out about her. She was living with a bunny there and they had them in a plastic cage on the cement floor. Aubrey's little feet and body was soo cold when we came across her. She was sooo scared! We are guessing she is over a year old. When Andy picked her up he wouldnt put her down! Cause she was soo cold. So we walked up to pay for her.(they wanted $9.99) the boy at the counter said "finally that little boys got a home" Well first of all he was not a he!! she was a she!! poor Aubrey, they didnt even know she was a girl. When we went there to buy crickets for our toad we were not expecting to find little Aubrey... we were riding our two person moped!! so I held her in a little brown box while Andy drove us home. She probaly was scared to death on that moped! She lived by herself at first here at
Misfitville.
Our old gal Anastasia was getting worse.. (she was our paralyzed piggie) and she lived with our little Athena who loved to sit with her front paws on Anastasia's back. They would sit like that for over a hour at a time. It was soo darn tootin cute! So when Anastasia passed we moved Aubrey in with Athena. Anastasia got to know Aubrey well before she passed because the last two weeks of Anastasias life she live in a small kids swiming pool with soft towels under her and we would put different girl piggies in to eat dinner and snacks with Anastasia, and Aubrey would curl up to Anastasia and purr.
After Anastasia passed Little spit fire Athena wouldnt accept any other piggie to live with after Anastasia passed... we prayed that Athena would take a liking to little Aubrey. Well it ended up that it was a match made in heaven! they took to each other and have been best friends ever since!! So that is how little Aubrey came to be here at Misfitville:)

OK we may have given her identity away but we love the story and the piggy code of honour means we wont tell anyone else the secret.

Special Update Whee Have Snow

Well here in my little corner of the UK the snow has fallen overnight and settled, not much at the moment about piggy tummy height but more is on the way.

This is too early for Christmas we suspect it will all be gone by the day.

Ghost has never seen snow before, me has told him it is cold and wet and to be glad he is indoors, it is however very pretty to watch through the window.

Agents please submit weather reports for your region, so any pig wishing to travel knows what to expect.

A Pigmas Song

Dashing round the cage
Messing up the hay
Round and round we go
Wheeking all the way
We make the cage bars ring
With our teeth so white
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A wheeking song tonight

Piggy pigs, piggy pigs
Wheeking all the day
Oh what fun it is to eat
A great big mound of hay

Piggy pigs, piggy pigs
Wheeking all the day
Oh what fun it is to eat
A great big mound of haaaaaaaaaaaaaay

Wheeeeeeeeeeek

Round of applause

Hunting Presents

Mummy made the mistake of leaving me unsupervised last night while she emptied the washing machine.

When she came back me had escaped from our play area, before she manage to get me back in the play area me did some present hunting.

Me can report there are no presents behind or under the sofa and chair or in the understairs cupboard.

All me did find was 3 rolls of unopened wrapping paper.... this does not bode well for presents.

Me thinks my present may be hiding in the garage but me cant verify this, special agent piggy that me is, me has been defeated by the mighty lock of yale, besides which its cold out there!!!
