Friday Video: I Geek Guinea Pigs

The Geek the Library campaign was made to let people know how important libraries are. In the campaign they have different humans telling about their (geeky?) hobbies and the role libraries play in it. This cute video features Butterscotch, a library pig, and one of her humans. The very cute girl Maddie.



Sigh.. did we mention our J is a librarian and that she went abroad for a week?  When she is away, she always manages to find guinea pigs.. I guess that we're doing the same ;-)

Have a nice wheekend!

Guinygirlz Photoshoot

We had our picture taken some weeks ago, slaves always do that around Woopy's birthday, this time it was already her 4th birthday! The others are now 2 years old (Lily and Daisy) and 0 years old (Roos is now 6 months old).
Slave would love to share our pigtures as she adores us...

Daisy
Lily a la Bing
Lily lying down
Lily looking up (typical 'lily-pose')
She always sticks her nose up like this after being petted.
It's like she is asking for more petting :)
Roos, I think she was never officially introduced (!)
This is our Agent in training, she is now as heavy as Woopy,
So it won't be long before she reaches a whole Kilo (1000 grammes)
Woopy
Group pigture: Lily, Roos, Daisy and Woopy

Suus and Dunya's citytrip : The Hague - part 2


Where to go next? According to Suus' little touristguide there used to be a veggie garden on Plein ('the square'). Of course the girls had to check it out.

Unfortunately, there are only a lot of big buildings like the Department of Justice on Plein and a lot of bars. And it's too early to get a carrot beer. 
Lets go and see if we can get something to eat somewhere else.

Now they wander into the Binnenhof ('Inner Court'). This is where the Dutch Governement works. Maybe they have some leftovers for us?

Hello Mr. Balkenende ((former) Dutch Prime Minister), 
do you have some veggies for us?
Hmmm.. no answer...

Hey Suus, there is a fountain. Lets get something to drink.
Heehee.. it's a good thing we didn't bring Igor ;-)

Yum! These flowers look kinda tasty..

Friday Video: Pet Interviews

This wheek a tip from auntie Mieke. It's an interview with a guinea pig.
We love the message in this video:

Pets need a Pal to talk to
Yeah we do! And sniff butts, steal each other's vegetables, make a pile of pigs in a tiny tiny house.. human butts just aren't the same ;-)


Have a nice Wheekend!

British designer makes guinea pig silver rings

Hi there!

My name is Holly and, i thought this guinea pig ring i made might interest your blog readers?

http://www.alittlestranger.com/wordpress/2012/04/kissing-guinea-pigs-925-fine-silver-ring/
I have recently begun creating silver jewellery and this is my first piece: An original design by A Little Stranger, handmade in .999 fine silver. Two tiny guinea pigs on-top a plain band. Each guinea pig is a teeny 11mm long.

I am a full time artist / designer working from my studio in London, UK. I am also the creator of super cute plush line (based on my pet guinea pigs!) Cavey. I mostly work with plush, with a bit of sculpting/model making thrown in, and, more recently, fine silver jewellery making.

Thanks :)
Holly
