My Advent Calendar shock by Eddi

I have been enjoying the Forum Advent Calendar very much this year -so many beautiful piggies out there.

This morning I was particularly excited to click on the calendar, as today was ‘our’ day.
I know this because the big slave (the one who is often quite boring) went on about it for ages, and was the one to try and make us all behave on her elaborate set for a photo shoot.

What’s wrong with a large bowl of blueberries (in a red bowl in keeping with the seasonal theme) and a guinea pig (me)?
Who wouldn’t want to see me eating blueberries (from a shiny red bowl)?
Blueberries are Christmassy.

But no - the big slave wanted nasty, inedible shiny stuff and candles - see what I mean about boring.

Anyway I actually quite like having my photo taken so was very well behaved, and the big slave seemed quite happy.
Later I did hear her mention something about certain pigs not being in focus, but I wasn’t really paying attention.
I was probably doing important piggy stuff like eating hay or destroying things.

Anyway fast forward to this morning and the Advent calendar seems to feature a photo of Ruby!
Ruby?
Ruby doesn’t even like Christmas.
Or people.
Or other guinea pigs.

In focus or not, it should have been me.
I am going to demand blueberries as compensation, and post my own photo here too - don’t think of it as blurry - thank of it was ‘soft focus’.

Love Eddi

Due to popular demand (well 2 people asked) here is my lovely photo - nothing wrong with a bit of 'soft focus' I say.

The big slave said she didn't have time to retake the photos, as if I somehow can't see her sitting on the sofa with a cup of tea and book after lunch most days.
It's all about efficient time management if you ask me.

And what the big slave also forgot to mention was that although there was a nice photo of Ruby in the end, there were also photos of Ruby that looked like this!

Thanks - I think they had a lovely time munching their way through the bribes and pottering around on the sofa!

Escape!

Love today’s pigture, it looks so snowy and Wellington and Lilith posed so well, gorgeous ❤️
 
Lovely pigtures.
Totally enjoying opening up the calendar every morning and seeing new pigtures, :tu:.

I am beginning to wish that this advent calendar can go on endlessly without stopping after Christmas Day. :whistle:

Perhaps there could be a "12 Days of Christmas" calendar with the reserve pictures and some others?
My little darlings didn't want to sit still and be photographer's models :doh: so my entry isn't the best. Last year's model was much more cooperative, even if he did start to eat the scenery!

If anyone’s wondering why George is in a basket...it’s mainly because he wouldn’t keep still! Also apologies for the awful quality of George’s photo - my phone didn’t want to focus on him.

Ha - I feel your pain!
Poor DD1 had a lovely idea for a photo of Harry (the baby) and Lucy.
However Harry had other ideas, and they included hurling himself off the sofa!

A basket s a great idea - I think we might try that next time.

Yeah, George is around 9 months (I think), so he’s a lot more active than Sprout! He also likes to attempt to hurl himself off the sofa.

Aw, lovely photos of Sonnet and George (your little live wire!) x

Don’t you mean Sprout? :)) Thank you! And yes, George is a right little live-wire!
