Guest Number 16

Guest number is another lovely lady, her secret agent name is Vroom.

She lives as part of a mixed herd somewhere in the US, me forgot to ask what state.

All the herd bar one have names beginning with the same letter.

Their group name is that of a type of chocolate, caramel and biscuit square we have here in the UK but the spelling is different.

Her real name is a make of car hence the name Vroom

This is a hard one so put your thinking caps on.

The Hay Review Part 1

As hay should make up 90% of a piggy diet me has decided to review the brands available to me. Hay is also good for bedding so me will give it a bedding rating as well.

Due to the snow, Mummy had been unable to get out to the pet shop to get my hay.

We nearly ran out so she had to order some online from Tesco who were also delivering the human food. (Tesco were brave enough to come out in the snow Mummy not)

Mummy got us a bag of Tesco Value Hay it cost £3.57 for 1.5kg

The hay is yellow in colour and cut into short strands (me prefers long strands me can munch all the way up)

This was soft hay so good for sleeping on, me wasnt as keen on eating it, but it was not that bad about 5 out of 10 rating from me.

Mummy also thinks the price was high for a Value hay.

Better for sleeping than eating!!

Does any other pig have a comment about Tesco Value Hay feel free to add it.

Silly Book

Mummy has found an old guinea pig care book from the seventies, it is very silly.

Because you are not allowed to copy what is says me is quoting, the book is called Pet Library Enjoy Series Enjoy your Guinea Pig.

My favourite quotes are "Cavies do not climb, jump or gnaw on wood"
"The Cavy is not known for its intelligence but for its affection"

Me nearly wet myself me was laughing so hard.

Me thinks these piggies must have been super heroes at undercover work,  the poor humans never suspected anything...

Any of you guys found silly books?

Goodbye Dear Alge

It is with a heavy heart that I write to say goodbye to another special human friend Alge.

Me never met Alge me only knew her virtually and yet she still managed to find a place in my heart.

In the short time me knew her (about 2.5 years) Alge has been Mummy to the legendary Jolly Rodents Charlie and Chester who have no doubt greeted her at the rainbow bridge, and the irrepressible Pirate Piggies Captain Jack Sparrow the 2nd and Barnacle Bill sadly left behind.

Alge was a great contributor of funny stories to virtual events, kind words in times of need and good advise when us piggies were under the weather.

Most of all she gave us unconditional friendship.

Me knows we are not alone in missing her presence and so we hope that all Alges friends furry and human will join us in lighting a candle all around the world and wishing Alge well on her final journey.

We would also like to send our love to the family she left behind, whose grief will be so much more than ours.

Goodbye Alge, thank you for the years of memories and friendship you shared with us.

Guests Number 15

This time to confuse you we have a group of guinea pig girls who will be known as Charlies Angels.

They are all rescue piggies living together along with their brothers in New York. (we think this is New York State not the Big Apple)

You cant live in a big apple anyway, silly idea it would get eaten.

Their real names have a festive feel to them.

Me is sure you can guess who they are........
