The Peruvian piggy is a long haired Abbyssinian, the breed standards say that the fringe should completely cover the face and the sweep should flow out from the butt, the hair is not supposed to be cut but kept in wrappers ready for show day.

Me thinks that is not fun and that Agent Master of Disguise is much better with his ever changing hairstyle.

Guest Number 18

Agent Master of Disguise.

His motto is never the same hairstyle twice.

Agent Master of Disguise lives in the South East US

He lives with his brother and Mummy and Daddy.

His real name is a type of plant most commonly found in the desert or large dry areas, the plant features in Western films to indicate desolation.

The plant is often seen blowing across the screen when a bad joke is told.

Me thinks with all those hints you should be able to guess this one.

Happig St Georges Day

Today 23rd April is St Georges day.

St George is the Patron Saint of England where me lives as well as Catalonia, Aragon, Georgia, Greece, Lithuania, Palestine, Portugal and Russia bet you didnt know that.

Me didnt either me looked at Wikipedia.

St Georges flag is a red cross on a white background.

St George is most well know for slaying a dragon and me thought they was just made up.

For Saint Georges Day humans will wear a red rose and guinea pigs will eat them :)

Naughty Water Bottle

Mummy gives us fresh water everyday when she changes our bedding.

Last night when she was packing us up so she could go to bed she noticed that the water was still full to the top, this is unusual as Ghost is always drinking.

Mummy put her hand in and flicked the ball bearing several times...........no water.

Mummy didnt panic as she keeps spare bottles just in case.

She removed the bottle undid the lid and put the lid on again.

Hey presto the bottle worked, she thinks maybe an air bubble was stopping it.

The lesson here is that bottles as well as leaking can also refuse to give water so make sure your humans keep a close eye on them.

Check Us Out

Thank you Agent's I and Piggy Galore for putting this on You Tube for us.



Mummy says this would be really boring if you are not piggy obsessed, who is not piggy obsessed I would like to know!!

They Hay Review Part 4

My 4th hay is Oxbow Botanical Hay, this is even more of a treat hay than my Excel Herbage.

Oxbow Botanical Hay comes in a 425g bag and costs Mummy £6.63 (she must really really love me)

This hay is a lovely fresh green colour and contains timothy hay and 3 of the following herbs depending on season, chamomile, lemon verbena, lavendar or red clover blossoms.

At the moment mine definetely has lavendar and chamomile but me cant doesnt know the third one (must be a blonde moment)

The strands are medium to long and again they are stalky not soft.

Me doesnt care as me is definetely not going to sleep on them, Mummy would not be impressed at that price for bedding heeheehee.

This hay is really really yummy and me gives it a 10 out of 10.

Maybe its because Mummy spoils us with treat hay that we turn our noses up at normal hay........

Me is a Bad Patient

According to Mummy hmmppfff

Here is what has been happening, Mummy tries to get the syringe in my mouth to give me my medicine she gets really close and then I turn my head away.

Me struggles and acts like me is panicking to make her feel guilty and stop.

Me managed to bite her once, she said it really hurt wimp.

After watching Mummy struggle for ages Daddy tried to syringe me, he got really close to my mouth hit the plunger and covered Mummy in medicine, he gave up after that.

When Mummy does manage to get the medicine in me, me pulls a face and keeps chewing to make it obvious me is not impressed.

When she has finished instead of settling down for a cuddle to calm us both down me then starts biting the towel and moving about so she knows me wants to go straight back to bed.

Is that being a bad patient????

Quick update, my scabs have nearly all gone and me is much less swollen now.

Minutes Silence Please

Me is very upset, me logged into yahoo this morning and was greeted by this tragic news story

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/21/20100413/tuk-1-000-pets-killed-in-building-blaze-6323e80.html

Me thinks we should all spare a minute to send our thoughts and love to the great crowd who are travelling to the rainbow bridge.

Me hopes they did not suffer in the fire and that is was over quickly for them and that this was nothing more than a tragic accident.

Mummy is having a little cry over this story

Very sad here

Me Has Been to the Vet

Me has a skin infection in a very delicate place, girls stop reading now.... ok me confesses it is my testicle.

Yesterday Mummy was checking my boy bits as she bought me in from my mowing the lawn duties, when she noticed that one of my testicles appeared bigger than the other and was very scabby, she says she could almost swear they didnt look like that on Saturday.

Anyway this was not bothering me until the humans started to panic, they gave me a butt bath to get the area clean and then Mummy applied some GG Lavendar and Myrhh lotion.

Being a Sunday the vets were not open so Mummy had to wait until this morning before she could rush me there.

The vet told Mummy to stop panicking as the testicle itself wasnt swollen (me is a big boy anyway heehee) it was just the scabs making it look larger.

The vet removed what scabs she could and my skin is pink underneath not filled with pus, so Mummy could relax as it wasnt an abcess.

Me has to have Baytril 0.5ml twice a day for a week and Acidophilus as a probiotic as antibiotics can be bad for delicate piggy tummys.

Mummy also has to remove any loose scabs heeheehee she not looking forward to that.

Me hopes this will clear up in a few days coz as much fun as having a human fondle your testicles can be me is already bored of that game.

Me will keep you updated on my progress

We Have Sun!!!

At long last we have had enough days of sun for the ground to be dry enough for me and Ghost to get outside and mow the lawn.

So today me will mostly be eating grass and sleeping in my tent.

Hurray

Please send in your weather updates for where ever you are.

Charlies Angels Charity Work

Check it out, our very own Charlies Angels are appearing on greetings cards to raise money for charity.

Well done girls!!!!!

Next time dont keep so quiet about it!!

The Hay Review Part 3

My 3rd hay is Burgess Excel Herbage, this is a treat hay and it would be obscene to suggest using this hay as a bedding.

Mummy buys this hay in a 1.5kg bag and it costs her £4.39, well me is worth it.

This hay is a lovely light green in colour and contains dandelion and calendula flowers super yummy.

This hay is medium to long and sharp not soft.

No good for bedding which is just as well as it would never last long enough for me to sleep on.

Me gives this a 10 out 10 rating

Egg Adverts

Well before that stupid dolphin (no offense) took over Egg Card used to use us piggies in their adverts.

So for a top up of piggy cuteness check out this link for adverts 1 and 2.

British Summer Time Begins

About time is all I can say.

Today Sunday 28th March is the official start of summer time, this means the clocks go forward so the humans have to get up an hour earlier heeheeehee, glad me a guinea pig me gets up when me wants!!

The weather humans say that its going to rain typical!!!

Is it officially summer for any pig else? and do you have to change your clocks?

Trouble Making Texel

Hey Buddy,

Okay, now finally, as promised, some more information about my breed.

Tumtadadum.. I'm a Texel!!! This means I have a very long curly coat. Mom says I'm very high maintanance. Tuh.. well thank you very much.. *looks really proud*.

Did you know I have some sheep and an island named after me? (no not Igors.. texels) The sheep are very curly and heavy muscled (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texel_(sheep) ) just like me! And the island.. aw well.. it was close to Amsterdam (the city) when I hijacked the VOC ship and I needed a place to hideout from the police. I guess the natives were very impressed with my eating skills when I was mowing their lawns, so I think they named the island (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texel) and their sheep after me.

Mom likes to keep my hair short because I'm still trying to grow dreadlocks to impress my Mickey (mom just doesn't understand what cool is.. *sigh*). She doesn't comb my hair because I hate that; but she does pick out poo and hay every week or so and when she finds little knots she justs takes a scissor and cuts them out (doesn't happen too often btw.. but i do try). She repeats that until my hair becomes too long and then she cuts it all off.

The difference between Texels and other curly pigs (Rexes, CH and US teddies) is that my hair keeps on growing. The CH Teddies do have longer hair than the Rexes and US teddies, but it doesn't get any longer than a few cm. There is only one other breed that has long curly hair that keeps on growing and those are Lunkarya's. But their hair is better described as wild; instead of corkscrew curly like mine.

Lots of Wheeks!
Agent I

[caption id="attachment_635" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Trouble Making Texel "][/caption]

A texel is a Rexoid Sheltie, they can come in any colour the breed standard says that the sweep should be longer than the sides and fall over the butt, they should have a central parting and no matting (bad luck Agent I) a crest or rosette = disqualification.

Guest Number 17

Is Agent I, there are no prizes for guessing who this is and no excuses for getting it wrong rofl.

Agent I lives in the Nederlands with his sister Agent Piggy Galore and a mad human scientist.

His real name is a usually associated with a mad scientists assistance, especially in horror films and Terry Pratchett books.

Easter Bunny's

As we are now fast approaching Easter, me thought it was a good time to remind everyone of the Make Mine Chocolate Campaign.

The aim of the campaign is to stop the impulse buying of rabbits as Easter presents by encouraging people to think twice and get a chocolate bunny instead.

Mummy would much rather have chocolate....

Here is the link to the campaign website in the UK.

http://www.makeminechocolate.co.uk/

PS me has no internet connection at home, problem with damn phone line so if you dont hear from me over the weekend you know why grrrrrr

Happig Saint Patricks Day

Today Wednesday 17th March is Saint Patricks day.

Saint Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland and legend says that he ridded the country of all snakes.

Me is going to Ireland........ they still have snakes here in England and me does not want to meet one!!

Nowadays tradition seems to dictate that the humans dress up in green and over indulge on Guiness (yuck me prefers carrot wine everytime)

Do you guys celebrate Saint Patricks day and how do you do it?

The Hay Review Part 2

The 2nd hay me has taste tested is an unbranded variety available from my local pet shop.

This comes in a big bag but me doesnt know the weight, the bag is about 3 foot tall and cost Mummy £4.80.

This hay has the long strands that me prefers and is soft to use as bedding.

The hay is a yellowy brown colour and me is not that keen on the flavour, me thinks me would rate this 3 out of 10.

Me dont think Mummy will buy this one again.

Good for sleeping on....

Really Funny Spoof Trailer

For those of you who dont know New Moon is a Human, Vampire and Werewolf love story, based on the brilliant teen books by Stephenie Meyer.

http://www.newmoonmovie.org/2009/07/spoof-of-new-moon-trailer-with-guinea-pigs/

We love this spoof we was rolling around on the floor clutching our tummies trying not to pee.

Me Lighted My Candle

Well Mummy did actually for some reason she didnt trust me with a lighter huh???

My candle was a little vanilla scented one in an orange glass holder.

It stayed alight until Mummy went to bed.

Candle Lighting Ceremony

As the GPDD is offline currently, me is posting a reminder here that tomorrow is March 9th the offficial date for our memorial candle lighting ceremony.

This year as well as honouring Peter Gurney and all the piggies who have crossed the Rainbow Bridge we will also be honouring our missing human friends Alge, Debbie, Joe and Kirsten.

Remember to light your candle at 8pm local time and to make a note to remind yourself to post the lighting to the GPDD when it is up and running again.

Lets send the light around the world!!!

Wicked Tort and White

Agent Vroom is a tortoiseshell and white piggie this means she has black, red (tort) and white markings.

The breed standards say that a tort and white piggy should have patches of black, white and red that are as square as possible and clean cut (no blurring) the opposing patches on each side of the body should be a different colour. Is this even possible???

Lets meet agent Vroom

What would you like your secret agent name to be? and why? Agent Vroom (cause that's how car goes, get it)

How did you come to be a Munchee? Muncheemom was missing Kozmo, a tortoise with white like me, and bought me at a pet store.

How old are you? About 2 1/2

How many and brothers and sisters do you have? 5 brothers, 3 sisters.

Do all your names start with a K? If yes how come? Jimmee, my roommate doesn't have a K name but shares a name with Muncheemom's brother. Bandito's K name is Karlos el Bandito. Someone suggested we all have K names like the original Munchees, Kack and Kaz.

What is your favourite food? I really love my hay.

What is your favourite toy? Jimmee LOL

what is your favourite pastime? eating

Whats the best thing about being a Munchee? Muncheemom gives us the best hay and pellets she can buy and gives us fresh veggies for breakfast and dinner.

In case none of you worked it out the  car is a KIA!! and they live in Tennessee

[caption id="attachment_695" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Agent Vroom"][/caption]

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.

Alge's Memorial Fund

For any of you who have been asleep for the last few days and may not have noticed, the GPDD have organised a memorial fund for our dear friend Alge.

You can use the link here to make a donation if you are a non US resident if you are a US resident the site tells you how you can make a donation.

http://www.cavymadness.com/alge/

You can also view Alges memorial scrapbook here http://rememberingalge.blogspot.com/

We hope everyone can leave a message with their memories of Alge to make this a truly international scrapbook and a fitting memorial.

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.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Beautiful Bi-colours

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........

Agent Cannonball Goes Live

Me thought me was a master of mind control getting Daddy to set us up on the Wii, but Cannonball is a true master.

He has convinced his Mummy to give him his own TV station here is the link http://www.ustream.tv/channel/peegies!

He has to share it with his brothers (me knows all about that!!)

Me is so impressed with this that me has added the link to my blogroll at the bottom right hand side of side bar, its called Guinea pigs on Ustream.

Mind you he still needs to do some more mind controlling as me has clicked and found the station (shock horror) offline!!!

Keep working on it Agent Cannonball.

OOoooops

Me has broken another resolution.

Last night after helping me jail break several times, Daddy stuck his fingers through the bars and wiggled them, well it was toooo good an oppurtunity to miss so me bit him heeheehee.

Me has been good with my resolution about weight, for the last 2 weeks me has gained weight, me now weighs 1174g, well done me!!

Me Knew He Wasnt A Guinea Pig

Mummy has now decided that Ghost is not an Agouti or an Argente she has now decided he is a Silver Chinchilla.

Me told you he wasnt very piggy like, oh a silver chinchilla is a breed of piggy hmmmm.

Ok here is what me has found out about silver Chinchillas.

They are an Agouti fox, the undercolour is grey and the ticking is white (longer than normal ticking) they should have white eye circles, and a white belly, dark ruby eyes and dark grey ears.

Well that description does match Ghost exactly so maybe Mummy is right this time.

Ghost still has that side patch though, so he is not show quality, so there!!!

The Importance of Eating Hay

Hay should make up about 80% of a guinea pigs diet.

Hay is essential to make our piggy toothies "work", because they are constantly growing our toothies need to be worn down to prevent them over growing, because hay is tough and requires lots of chewing it wears toothies down nicely.

The Guineapigalopaedia recommends that hay should be at least 3 months old to allow for drying yet still slightly green, me has no idea how you tell how old your hay is.

Hay should be dry and free from dust and mould and fresh smelling.

Hay should be stored in a cool dry place off the floor, Mummy keeps ours in the garage.

The indigestible fibres in hay help keep your tummy working properly (Mummy says the human equivalent would be something like All Bran)

The best hays for eating are Timothy hay and Meadow hay.

For young, pregnant, nursing or ill piggies Alfalfa hay can be helpful. This should not be fed to healthy adult piggies due to high calcium and protein content. Small quanties as a supplement should be ok but not as main food.

The best hay for bedding is soft hay as opposed to stalky hay which can poke you.

Green hay has more minerals and Vitamin A and E.

Brown hay has more Vitamin D from being in sun longer but has less good stuff in it.

Check out Galens Garden Hay section for lots of information.

Mind Control

Daddy thought he was being clever when he set up mii's on the wii for me and Ghost.

He wasnt clever he was under my control heehee

Now when the humans are out me and Ghost can have fun playing all the games.

We like mario karts best.

My mii made Daddy crash when he was racing.

The fun a pig can have.......

We have avoided the wii fit!!!

The Really Useful Food Links Page

Me has started a new section the guinea pig good food guide, this is going to take me a while to research and taste test of course so me is starting with sharing links.

Here are some really useful links about guinea pig foods

Daring Dalmation

Agent 101 is a Dalmation, although there are breed standards for Dalmation we think they must be quiet rare as they have what is known as the fatal gene.

Dalmations and Roans should never be bred with another Dalmation or Roan as this causes horrible birth defects, this is because the gene for the Dalmation/ Roan coat is recessive.

Dalmations and Roans are genetically the same but the colour markings vary.

Many countries dont recognise Dalmations as a show breed.

Dalmations have white hair with coloured spots, feet and head, although the head has a central white blaze along the nose.

The official colours for a Dalmation are Self, Agouti and Argente.

To breed a Dalmation you need a piggy of your chosen colour and a Dalmation, the litter will always contain one self.

Agent 101 was a surplus boar from a litter, we are sure he much prefers his new home.

Agent 101 is a master of mind control he only needs to think of carrots and his Mummy runs to get them for him

Here he is with his best friend Agent Thorntons

[caption id="attachment_452" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Agents 101 + Thorntons Staking Out The Food Bowl "][/caption]

Guest Number 14

Agent 101 is a boy from a mixed herd in the UK, again he is not a dolly mixture but a "proper" breed.

He joined his new herd as an excess boar from a litter.

Agent 101 takes his name from a famous book written by Dodie Smith.

His real name is also the name of a famous English Chef

Good luck

How Come We Have Only Just Found This??

Our First Good Cause

You may have noticed me has added a new category Charitable Works here we will post about things everyone can do to help poor rescue piggies.

Today we are helping Bobtails Rescue.

By using Easy Search when you search the internet (instead of Yahoo or Google etc) money is donated to Bobtails if you shop online you can also use Easy Fundraising to help raise more money, check it out lots of big companies like Amazon will donate a % of your purchase price to the rescue without it costing you a penny.

Me not sure if this works overseas but definetely does in the UK

If you want your good cause mentioning (rescue open days etc) leave a comment in this section or email me details and me will add it.

Toothie Problems

Like us guinea pigs, humans can also suffer from problems with their toothies.

Mummy is suffering at the moment, luckily for her the toothie problems have not stopped her eating.

Mummy had to go to the dentist (like a vet but for human teeth) she had to have a filling, she is also waiting for hospital appointment to remove her wisdom tooth that is growing side ways under the gum.

As if that wasnt enough, once she has got all that sorted she needs root canal work and a cap for a tooth that has split.

Poor Mummy

Me is glad my toothies are good!!

What Type of Guinea Pig is Your Human

Daddy has decided that he would be a short haired brown piggy with 1 white sock and a playful attention seeking attitude.

Mummy would be a white peruvian with a tendency to bite and dominate.

So what would your human be?

Grrrrrrr

Me hates puters now as well.

The puter forgot who we were again and so we lost all our stuff, luckily we had backed it up.

We had backed up everything apart from Mummies Ipod library so she has to spend hours reloading all the music again. Good job she didnt throw away the CD's.

Windows Vista pah brrrrrrrrrrr not impressed

Me Is Fed Up

With the Big Freeze

Tuesday night Mummy could see some grass in the garden, Wednesday morning it was all white again. Today it looks like it is melting but weather woman says more ice to come.

Me wants summer to come so me can go and munch the grass again.

How is the weather for all you other agents?

Cutey Cream

Agent Frothy is a self cream, me thinks she looks like she could be my sister.

Dont let Mummy know she has a thing for us blonde piggies.

The breed standard for a self cream says you should have red eyes, pink ears and pads and be a devon cream colour.

Common problems in getting the cream colour right are that if the top of the hair is the right colour the bottom is often too dark.

If the bottom of the hair is the right colour the top of the hair is too pale.

See its a complicated job being this cute.

Us dolly mixes dont care, so there wheeeek

Piggies dont have silly superstitions like the humans!!

Agent Frothy

Agent Frothy is part of an all girl herd in the UK, she was an unwanted baby from miss sexed parents (how could anyone not want her)

She likes green beans

Her real name is a popular non alcoholic hot drink

Thats your lot, get guessing

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.

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.
