Confused Piggies

 

 

"Look at these toy piggies!" says Cobweb. " They look very much like my best friend, Tamworth."

"Look at these toy piggies!" says Tamworth. " They look very much like me."

"Oh that is you this time," says Cobweb. " Let us ask the staff to hang the toys on the tree so that I don't get confused."

" That is better," says Cobweb, " now they won't be given our carrots by mistake."

We Are Very Excited About the Holidays!

We received some early holiday presents and were so pleased that we asked our mom to take a photo! Here we are with our jukebox that lights up and plays Christmas songs. We love the way it looks and sounds. One of our mom's friends sent it to us, along with the cool fireplace that is safe for us to sit by since it operates on batteries (and, well, is not a real fire).

We hope all of you enjoy the holidays and have as much fun with your presents as we are having!

P.S. Scottie says he thinks "cool fireplace" is a contradiction, but he laughed when I typed it so it will stay. Humor is very important.

Best wishes from Scottie and Coke.

Helping

 

The Piggyfriends are helping their Slave sort out the Christmas decorations. Fionn is being a good boy and is......

.....rewarded for his efforts with a piece of his favourite red pepper. It is a pity that black pigs don't show up as well in our little photos but Slave knew that he would sit nicely.

On the other hand, some pigs are being less than helpful...

.......aren't you Peaches? That celery is for you to eat. Not the decorations please!

"I don't mind wearing this hat", says Peaches," especially when I can have a piece of pepper."

Would you like to see an outtake? Here is Peaches behaving badly......

We hope that you are helping your Slaves get ready for Christmas.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to All!!!!

 

The Piggyville Girls received an early Christmas visitor.  Her name is Choco.

She is a You Tube and TV star from Japan. She stars in the Japanese Anime series "Pui Pui Molcar", which translates to Pui Pui CavyCar. She and her many cavy friends bring cheer to children, adults and guinea pigs around the world.

Shannon aka the "blonde bombshell and Ceilidh aka the "black blob" are starstruck. They do not know what to say to Choco.

I am sure that, after watching a few of her videos, they will realise that she speaks Guinea Pig, the universal language of love.

Happy Holidays from Piggyville in Swannanoa, North Carolina!!

Cheers from Shannon,  Ceilidh and Choco.

Birthday Present.

 Slave gave her son a 3D printer for Christmas last year and for her recent birthday, he made her this and painted him.

A guinea pig Samurai warrior. He said that there are other piggy patterns to make different models like a king, an army and a bard so more may be coming our way. The guy that uploads them calls himself Cavy Forge so if anyone has access to a 3D printer, piggies can be yours.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We, Scottie and Coke, would like to say Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates it! (I, Scottie, am on the left, and Coke wants to note, though it is obvious, that he is on the right.)

As you see, aided by a colorful cloth pumpkin, we are practising being grateful. Here are some of the things we are grateful for:

We get along now. For a long time we didn't, but our mom didn't give up. Now we stand side by side to eat hay, we rest near one another, and we are very good (well, mostly good) about sharing.

Veggies! Need we say more?

Some fruits, too.

And hay. Mom bought us some orchard-grass hay, and we are particularly enjoying it, though we love timothy hay, too. Just call us love-hay guys.

Our house. It's roomy and has lots of "furniture" in it -- sofas, cozies, an A-frame made of wood, and so on.

Floor time. Our floor area is under our house and has more furniture.

Our PVC tube. It's how we are transported from one place to the other.

Oops, there's more, and, I, Scottie am typing, but Coke says, "Less is more," so I think that means I should end my list. Might I add, Coke, that we are thankful for the blog?

Halloween on the Frosty Prairies

Charlotte and Emily were so excited to go trick or treating around the neighbourhood that they would not sit still for me to take pigtures until this morning.  Charlotte got the coveted dragon costume this year while Emily was a bumblebee.  They looked so cute!  

There is snow on the ground already here so I had to carry them in my pockets from house to house, but they had a wonderful time (though not all of the houses were prepared with veggies and I had to slip some carrots and cilantro to a few folks who were startled to see guinea pigs out doing the rounds). 

A fun time was had by all!
