Alpaca piggies for our card game

Hello piggies everywhere. We are wondering if there are any Alpaca piggies who would like to join in our project. Maybe a Slave has a pigture of an Alpaca who is reading this from the Rainbow Bridge. An Alpaca is a Rexed Peruvian. ie they have long coats which fall forward over their eyes and the coat is wavy. Our Slave always trims their fringes so that they can see out and we can see their lovely faces.

We will start this off with Piggyfriend Alpacas.

Here are Snickers on the left and her father, Leo. They belonged to Slave's friend and they used to board with us when she went away on holiday. Eventually they came to live with us full time.

 And here is our Fuzzypeg.

Our Slave knows that a member of the GPDD had an Alpaca who looked the image of our Fuzzypeg but she can't remember who he belonged to. She even has his photo in her vast collection of pigtures. If this Slave could get in touch and give her permission, we would love to add this photo.

Friday Video: Fun Treat for Piggies

We have had toilet roll tubes stuffed with hay and they are great fun especially when you hit your cage mates over the head with them **heehee** but we think adding fresh veggies will make them even more fun

Crested piggie

Agent Cookie: Hi, I have a different colour crest. My pals on Twitter call it a pigwig. It's like having a polar cap, except on your head. Cookie x

Crested Piggies

We have had a few Crested Piggies here at Piggyfriends down the years and here are a selection.  Slave calls Crested Piggies " pigs with hats ".

First of all is our dear Gulliver, who grew to be a LAPS member ( Large and Ample Piggy Society ) as you can see in the pigture below. All the good views of him show him looking up at the photographer and this is the only one that we could find showing his crest.

Next you can see Halloween, named because he arrived here on October 31st. and here he is celebrating his special day. He was with us for 8 years, our oldest ever Piggyfriend.

Now you can see Sam enjoying his lunch.

And finally here is Amethyst, who loved to sleep on top of her box.

If any readers have pigtures of their Crested Piggies, please send them in, especially if you have an American Crested. Unlike our Piggyfriends, the American Crested has the crest in a different colour to the rest of the coats. We believe that these piggies have a white crest. The American Crested looks even more like they are wearing hats as the crest shows up so well against the rest of the coat.

If we get enough pigtures of both ordinary cresteds plus American cresteds we might be able to make up a set of both.

Watch out for our next set coming soon..............

Friday Video: Making the Piggy House

We are not actually sure what the title of this video is as it may be in German however we love the end result, enjoy!!

Book Review; Guinea Pig Pride and Prejudice

Last week we were contacted by Bloomsbury publishing to see if we would like to receive a copy of Guinea Pig Pride and Prejudice a new book they are launching we asked Mummy and she got all excited and said yes.

On Saturday the book arrived in the post as you can see from the pigtures below it was beautifully wrapped just like a present (we think it would make a great gift for piggy loving humans)

At bedtime mummy read the story to us its about piggies falling in love despite not liking each other at first.

Mummy loved the cute pigtures especially the cast list and we really liked the smart costumes (you can see some of our favourite shots below)

What we also liked was the message at the back of the book about supporting local shelters well that has our full backing and we are glad to see them get a mention as lots of humans have no idea the piggy rescues exist.

Now enjoy the pigtures and start planning which of your humans has been good enough to get a copy.
