We have a Christmas Card

We had our very own Christmas card in the mail this morning.





It is from the Surrey Squeakers, whose blog we follow and that is a pigture of Meg Squeaker on the front. Please do not peg it up on Machu Picchu and Kiwi's pen or they might eat it like they did their name card. Let us put it where we can all see it.

Thank you very much Surrey Squeakers!

Can we make our own Christmas cards? Please, Slave, please? "We will have to see about that sweeties. It is too late for this year but maybe next Christmas. We need to find out how it is done and one of you is going to have to sit very still for the photo. No running off and hiding under the table."

Look what we did!

Slave makes name cards for all of our pens. Ours fell into our pen so we ate it.....





.....and she had to make us a new one.

Halloween adventure: the aftermath

As people who read the gpdd know, we, the guinygirlz and Binky, and the piggyfriends went on a (virtual) adventure to visit guinea pig friends in the US for Halloween. The pigs had loads of fun but they were really tied after the long journey home.
This is what I found after they had settled in back home...

P.s. Raani says hi to the lovely Ralphy lauren

Winter is coming.

After a very mild autumn in England it is getting colder today. Slave's friend Pat emailed her to say that they have 7 inches of snow in Canada where she lives and her poor piggies cannot have fresh grass. So, in case that happens here, Magnus and Ivan have abandoned their houses and bagged themselves a place next to a radiator.

Piggy Presents!

We were away visiting our friend, Avalanche, who threw a Hallowe'en Party when it was Slave's birthday but here are some photos of her presents. It is always easy to find a present for a piggy person.

This little orange and white piggy was a gift from our pigsitter, her eldest son. He is sitting on some flowery fleece and has not made a mess with some beetroot.

Isn't he sweet? Slave does needlepoint so he also gave her a kit to make a pigture of two piggies.





She says that she cannot start it yet as she has a half finished picture on her frame at the moment but as soon as that one is finished, she will start making the piggy pigture.

A package arrived in the mail and guess what was inside. Another little piggy, twin to the first one......


....except that this little piggy is a tricolour. This one came from our one time Junior Slave, who lives in the US now. They did not know what each other had bought as a gift and they chose almost identical piggies. What a coincidence!

Here they are together.





We will have to nag Slave to make the pigture so that we can show the finished article to you. Slave says that they take a long time as she just does little bits when she has spare time and, with all of us to care for, she does not have much of that.

Updates to Sending Posts to the Blog

Hello fellow piggies, regular readers may have noticed there has been an increase in spam posts appearing on the blog. It appears that some sad humans have nothing better to do than try and convince us guinea pigs to buy something only humans would care about. To put a stop to this happening we have updated the Contribute settings this means all post will now require moderation by one of us blogging piggies before they appear on the blog. This may mean a slight delay between when you send your blog post and when it is actually visible but it will mean we don't have to see stupid human posts anymore!!!

In other news here at Piggypals the weather has turned decidedly chilly and we are glad we live indoors with all mod cons including central heating.

The evil one is also learning to behave and now we are allowed to play together in the evenings and at weekends while the humans are around to make sure no fighting occurs, you never know we may be able to actually live together full time at some point in the future.

Let us know what is going on with you guys, we love hearing from you all.
