Hi my name is Tim Wigley and I am a musician in Houston TX. I recently made a music video that stars my pig Lester.
Hope you like it.

Friday Video: Pig Beach
We stumbled across this video of pigs living on an uninhabited island (Exuma Bahamas). Legend has is that sailors left them there with the intention to pick them up later. Even though they are wild, they seem friendly enough (source).

Smart piggie?
Hi all,
Just wanted to share this little story of Roos.
On New Years' day we found her eye was wet and it turned out she got a husk from her hay stuck in her eye. Of course all the vets were closed this day, but with some cautiousness my sister Janneke and my boyfriend got it out.
A vet visit followed and we got a salve to put in her eye. Luckily her eye was not really damaged.
So every morning my boyfriend E would get downstairs to give the girls their veggies. But before giving that to them he would pick up Roos from the cage. However, she quickly realized that and would hide in their wooden house every morning and afternoon when she knew E would come and pick her up. Of course she would keep an eye out to see if E was bringing veggies.
So once E would finally manage to catch her, get the salve ready to put in her eye, she had another little trick up her sleeve... uhm.. fur?
She would squeeze her left eye that needed a drop of the salve shut. She only squeezed shut her left eye, not the other one...
Luckily now everything is back to normal and she no longer hides for E..
Is she a smart piggy, or what?
Do you have stories to share of your bright pigs?
Just a few remarks:
If you find your guinea pig with something in its eye, only get it out when it comes out easily! If it is problematic I really advise you to go and see a vet.
In general even when you can get it out easily, I would always advise a vet visit because they can check if anything was damaged and maybe prescribe some salve. I think it had a vitamin in it,vitamin D I thought, which really helps in the eye's healing process.

The Piggyfriends review a puzzle
We do not have a book to review so we thought that we would write about Slave's jigsaw puzzle. Every Christmas, she buys a puzzle for the family to complete during the festivities. Last year, she had a HUGE four foot long puzzle with an underwater scene, which took up most of our floor space for weeks on end but this year she had a smaller one with pigtures of Guinea Pigs and veggies.
 |
| Here is a pigture of the box. |
 |
| Slave did not expect the puzzle to be as difficult as it turned out to be. Here it is nearing completion. |
 |
| Some of these piggies looked familiar to us and we
were so pleased when Slave completed the puzzle. Here it is at last. |
 | ||||
| This one... looks a lot like our Agent Mouse aka Angelina |
 |
Agent Big Red aka Garnet thinks he looks a lot like this piggy... but Garnet wants to know where his dandelion is. |
 |
But we think that Toffee is nearer to his
colour.
|
Slave's family enjoyed completing this puzzle and give it 5 stars for both difficulty and the lovely pigture and we give it 5 stars too as we loved seeing the piggies being put together and love the different yummy veggies in the design. Slave is glueing it together and will hang it up for us to enjoy all year round. One more coat of glue and it should be ready. Hooray!!

Our guinea pig ~ Tonka RIP_2014
My name is Tonka. I died on Saturday January 11th, 2014. I had a wonderful owner named Owen that would snuggle me every minute he could. I couldn’t wait for him to come back from school as I would wait anxiously to hear him walk through the front door and I would squeak like crazy. I loved Owen feeding me snacks especially my favorite… carrots J I loved resting on his chest watching him play his video games. I know Owen is very sad and misses me tremendously but I would like him to know that I am over the rainbow bridge now will all of my friends warm and happy. I will always be looking down on you Owen making sure you are alright. Please keep my brother Kiki safe. I had the best life a guinea pig could ever ask for. I will see you in your dreams.
I love you Owen!
Tonka
xoxo

Silly Pigture
Agent Gemini says to Henry, the vacuum cleaner, " I don't know what you are laughing about. I can throw hay on the carpet faster than you can pick it up!"
The Piggyfriends say " You can tell that Slave had a new camera for Christmas. Now she keeps taking silly pigtures of us to try it out."

Calendar piggies : December 2013
Sorry, this is really late, but in most parts of the world it is still 2013
So here are our December calendar piggies!
Addison the is white and brown one aka Agent Sassoon. She and Amaris, the all brownish color aka Agent Moon flower, came to be misfits on Sept 1, 2012.
We drove two hours to pick them up. We thought we were just getting one pig (Addison) but Andy just couldn't let Amaris stay there. They belonged to a lady that didn't want them anymore. She tried to start breeding pigs and found no one wanted to buy them from her. So she was getting rid of her pigs. We offered to give one a home. And since she had long hairs I was totally excited to get one. (ended up being two) The girls were very tiny as they were only a couple of months old.
Both girls loved to trim each others hair when they first got here. They would make new hairstyles on each other:) its really cute. They do not do that anymore so maybe it was because they were so young? They really love all food that is placed in front of them.
Addison is the boss piggy. Amaris is really laid back and a great pig to take out for when small vistors come to visit that want to hold a pig. Amaris has a crush on our pig named Riley. Those two will sit and talk to each other for hours. It's the cutest thing to watch. Riley's cage is right next to the girls cage. We love our little longs hairs and are very glad we were able to take them in.
A big Merry Christmas to everyone and every-pig and any other critters you may have. And a Happy New Year too!
Jean and all the Misfits

Book Review Guinea Pigs Online Viking Victory
This is the last Guinea Pigs Online book that we have and we have to say it is our favourite book of the series.
The copse at the end of the garden is threatened by a smelly builder who wants to bulldoze it down and build houses so its up to Coco, Fuzzy and Eduardo to start an internet campaign and save the copse.
Getting hits on Twitter
In this book the guinea pigs make a new friend Olaf the Viking Guinea Pig (or is he?)
We are pleased to say in this book we couldn't find any bad suggestions about guinea pig care although we are not sure about black soggy bananas are they bad? We know bananas are ok and can be useful for piggies with tummy problems but we weren't sure about the black bit. Mummy says yuck she likes her bananas slightly green and with the stick to your tongue texture, we are not sure about that either wol.
Bannoffee still has 14 mini pigs but we are pleased to say they have not increased in number, they all live with her and there is no mention of pet shops hurray.
If you take the books at face value as just fun fiction involving guinea pigs then this is a fun series to read.
