Dexter and Popcorn - the Album!

That's exactly what they said....loudly.....

They were soon calmed when they saw the big fresh pile of Haybox soft Timothy hay but are still demanding to know where the coriander and carrot top tea I promised them is hiding.......patience required boys!

That word doesn’t apply to guinea pigs. They want it yesterday!…even if it’s not yet time.

They said that as well!
You'll be pleased to hear they now have their coriander and carrot top tea (with a sprinkle of bell pepper) and are happy again!

Just three bunnies now to bring in from lawn time and two of them are a lot harder work to convince. The piggies may protest loudly but being ruled by their tummies helps in convincing them that they do want to go back to the shed really! The bunnies, however, have learnt the art of evasion. Patch may always be keen for dinner and comes home willingly but Saffron and Luna have learnt that that is how you get caught....oh no, they dont fall for that nonsense!
 
Operation Winter Prep has begun on the new shed!
Now the wood has weathered over summer, it is ready for paint. Two coats have been done so far but a third is needed.
My dad is putting a shelf up inside so I can get things put away properly

Next summer the inside may well be painted but deciding on a colour is proving tricky!
My favourite colour is lime green (I was going to do the outside lime green!) so I may well go a bit bold inside - I’m thinking lime green and bright pink!

Sounds like a fab combo! Like green would probably help brighten inside on those dull days.
 
We were very unhappy with the slave on Monday. She brought us indoors ’for our own good’ as apparently there is a heatwave….well, we haven’t noticed anything. We are lovely and cool in here and we think there is nothing wrong with our shed. She tells us it’s 35 degrees in there but we think she just wanted company as the small slaves are back at school and she isn’t going to work very much now.
Our unhappiness was slightly eased as she bought us a new haycube for our time in the house. But then she ruined it by leaving all the hay inside the cube. Honestly, she expected us to pull it out ourselves…the nerve of her!
Today she has given into the evil eyes we kept throwing her way and pulled the hay out for us. It is really lovely hay this time - the last time we had a haycube it was a bit spiky and not nice to eat - so we decided to tuck right in and then Dexter got into the haycube! He is still there now, I just hope he isn’t peeing in it

I want to live in there @Piggies&buns its bigger than my house lol :)
 
You have your slave almost refectory trained! Keep going.

Toff (trying to train slave to be my scratcher…never quite perfect!)
 
All three sections of the internal mesh doors are now complete!
The very bottom section is attached with bolts on the back so is fully removable when not in use.

An 8x2ft shelf has also now been put up above the hutch for storing all their bits and pieces so I’m not tripping over anything now! Piggies can have full run of the entire shed floor (previously had to keep a strip on one side sectioned off for storing everything!

Dear all

Been a while since we have update our story.

We have had a lovely summer - we spent lots of lovely time on the grass. Slave brought us indoors a few times when it was hot, of course we were very happy about that but we protested anyway so don’t tell her we liked it. Our favourite bit was yelling for snacks whenever she left the room!

Once autumn arrived, she stopped putting us on the lawn which we are sad about.
We really do love our new shed though and are so cosy in here. We have even more hay now it is getting colder - we must cost her a fortune! Apparently it is getting even colder next week and we heard the slave muttering something about getting the indoor grids ready in case it gets too cold.

But today is a bad day. She prodded, poked and stuck us in a box on the scales. We are all healthy and with no weight issues apparently but she cuddled us and took pictures of us so we aren’t happy about that….particularly not when we saw the pictures she took

Dex - I look a complete mess - she hasn’t cut my hair on top now it is winter and it’s going everywhere! No idea how much longer she thinks I can keep looking like this
Pops - well, I’m doing my best petrified potato impression…we all know I yelled about it and was very fierce and I’m not really scared anymore but I need to make her feel bad for putting me in the box

But you’re so handsome boys. No sow would be able to resist you! I’m sorry you were manhandled. Thems the breaks. If you stopped looking so cute she may leave out the handling part…

Toff

PS our slave manhandled me last week. She’d brought us veggies but didn’t seem to understand that I wanted my food delivered on the other side. When I decided to indulge her and come eat, she hand fed me a few bits. Next thing I know I was being swooped up. Admittedly I live a cuddle but that’s not the point!

We need lots of treats to get over these traumatic experiences 😭
 
Hello everyone
I’ve written a little poem to highlight the dreadful treatment I receive
Please all feel sorry for me. I’ve run into a box so she can’t take a photo of me yet!
Dexter x


In the shed on a bright winters day
When the slave came out to say
Dexter Dexter you’re a mess
Your hair, such a state, there needs to be less

I know what this means, what will be done
Her hairdressing skills, they’re not number one
I see my escape, I find a gap
The next thing I know, I’m on her lap

She managed to get me into a box
And started to cut my lovely long locks
First one side and then the other
Your skills are awful, you terrible pig mother

But what is this I can see
Some treats, some snacks, are they all for me?
I’ve almost forgot why I was mad
But nothing makes up for a cut this bad
 
🤣🤣🤣 I was giggling before I even started the poem.

I hope you were placated Dex - lots of coriander and a treat or three. And it will grow back before you know it.
