Thank you!
Mine are growing really quickly. So I'm afraid mummy slave has some evil plans for this weekend.
Vicky already had her nails cut this week.

Slave's friend Aunty Andrea came on Tuesday and very kindly (!) cut our nails while Slave held us tight. I tried to nip Aunty Andrea as it's Slave's privilege to cut our nails not hers!

Tessy is always quick to nip anyone, but I'm more restrained when it comes to nipping. Vicky tends to be more vocal. And we don't comment on Odi's behaviour any more. Mummy slave sometimes says that she is proud of his good behaviour ... but really... if he wouldn't usually behave in his special Odi ways, no one would dream of calling him well behaved once in a while.
Though I must confess bis bad boy attidude does have a certain charm. :cool:

Had a hard evening tonight. Mummy slave really did the evil thing and clipped our nails. :yikes:

Odi did his best to freak out, but he didn't manage to bite (got wraped up and cuddled afterwards). He was a bit beside himself, but no lasting damage was done. Only a wet planket.

Tessy tried to wriggle her way out of the situation, but she didn't nip mummy slave once. Don't know what got into her?

I was really brave and didn't wriggle at all. Mummy slave said that I was a really good girl. Have to confess that it wasn't too bad today. Was over pretty quick.

Billie was rather smug because her nails were already done, so she was spared today.

And Vicky complained a bit because her hind legs were done, front legs were already done. But afterwards she had a nice cuddle.

Now we hope the nail clippers won't show up too soon again. Maybe we should hide them somewhere...

Dear Bonny,
It sounds as if you were all very good for your mummy tonight, even if you think nail clipping is evil.
Perhaps you could explain to Phoebe that staying still for a nail trim is good.
It makes it quicker and bloodless.

Yes, it does, but usually not even Bonny keeps still. 🙈
I was lucky tonight.
 
OMG, I think, I'll be hearing from GPU. :yikes:
I locked Tessy out accidentally. :(

Well only for about two or three minutes, but I thought she was already back inside the cage when I closed the door ... and she wasn't. :blink:
When I came back with the fresh water bottles (last thing to do before going to bed) she was sitting outside the cage and waiting to be let in.
That was pretty close. :doh:

Dear @Viennese Furbabies

It has come to our attention that you locked Tessy out of the cage but she was a good girl and sat there patiently, knowing you'd be back to replace their water and let her in. We think this is a gross dereliction of duty and you need to be made aware that this simply will not do! Your job as a guinea pig Slave is to look after those piggies in your care and you clearly have not done this. We shall be liaising with our Shop Steward The One and Only Thea as to how to deal with this situation. It is so serious that we may even have to ask the Ever Beautiful Betsy to come out of retirement on this one occasion.

You have been warned.

Dear piggies of the Guinea Pig Union,
I'm well aware of the fact that Tessy's life was in immediate danger and she could have been left outside the cage for the night.
But I promise to count them every night and every morning before closing the cage (like I usually do) without exception.
Please don't call The every beautiful Betsy back to duty, because I fear for the worst in this case, like the piggies being put in custody of the Shop Stewart's Slave and having to travel to the UK. :yikes:
Yours truly
Viennese Furbabies

PS: Billie would like to add that she is disappointed that every injustice on the forum is swiftly reacted to except for her mistreatment due to her paw situation. The Shop Stewart and the former Shop Stewart denied any support at all.
Billie is seriously considering the withdrawal of her membership in the GPU.
Maybe you should have a look if the Shop Stewarts really are doing their job on behalf of ALL the forum guinea pigs.
 
Dear Billie

The Ever Beautiful Betsy (retired) and The One and Only Thea have brought to our attention the mistreatment of your paw. We have the deepest sympathy for your situation and agree that you are being badly mistreated what with foot soaks and nasty bandages. However, no piggy likes to have a sore and bleedy paw. We would be most disappointed if you were to withdraw your membership.

Yours

The Guinea Pig Union
 
Dear @Viennese Furbabies

I have agreed to come out of retirement (for this one time only) as The One and Only Thea (Shop Steward) doesn't have the experience to deal with the grave situation that the GPU have informed me of. They told me that you left one of your piggies - Tessy - in imminent danger and fear of being grabbed and eaten by a predator. She was very brave and trusted that you would be back and, fortunately, you did return and let her back in the cage where she was safe once more. You seem to think that only leaving her for a couple of minutes was OK. It is not OK. It only takes a second to be grabbed and you're gone!

I have let your piggies know (by the piggie telegraph) that they are not to comply with anything that you want them to do. They are allowed to nip you freely and play up when it's floor time and cuddle time. Billie is allowed to upset her foot soak on regular occasions and wriggle more than normal when you try to put her paw bandage on.

Let this be a lesson to you and I hope that it is never repeated as more sanctions will ensue.

Yours horrified by how you treated Tessy

Dear Betsy,
it is really great that you came out of your well earned retirement to speak in my behalf. I really feel comfortable and protected by the GPU (and even Billie is willing to pay her usual amount of poops the fund the union).
As Bonny always says, you can never be too careful about the imminent dangers lurking in our living room. And being looked out was a truely shocking experience.
Yours forever grateful
Tessy

You will be delighted to hear that Odi has excercised his right to nip excessively during weighing today. :doh:

I just love this fabric.
I bought these two tunnels in autumn, but the piggies didn't like them, because there was a sort of loop inserted, so that it couldn't collapse.
Since Odi loves to lay in top of fleece items and the loops were not very comfortable when laying inside, I managed to take them out. :D
Now the piggies have got 2 very nice tunnels and a matching hammock.
Okay, they don't really care about the matching part, but I do. :whistle:

Clearly the Piggie Telegraph worked! Betsy will be delighted!

It really does!
Billie wriggled much more than usual this morning.
And Tessy didn't want to go back to the cage yesterday evening. :bye:

Betsy is very pleased that the trial of the new Piggie Telegraph as been such a success! She has reported these findings back to the GPU who were thrilled at such a favourable outcome. The Piggie Telegraph is now officially a part of the Union's fight against Slave injustice and have authorised The One and Only Thea (Shop Steward) to use it when she deems it necessary.
