Minnou’s piggies

Dear Minerva and Gaia

There was an Emergency Meeting of the GPU at short notice and we would like to say:_

"Congratulations!" You have been awarded the very first GPU Gold Medal in Slave Training! To train your Slave into giving you treats and then making it clear that you will not fall for her desensitizing antics definitely needs to be rewarded!

Dear Miss Bramble,

Our thanks to you and the GPU for bestowing this honour upon us! I (Gaia) do graciously accept both gold medals and will also wear both of them as Minerva will only lose hers when she runs behind the sofa and plays 'can't catch me!' with the Slave.

We did secure a lot of treats today so we can't be bothered moving, could someone deliver the medals to us and tell our Slave they are meant for us, not her (though she should know this...)

Wheeks and kisses,

Gaia and Minerva
 
I hope the ladies have enjoyed all their treats.
All our piggies, have hated key jangling noises, we get told off every time.
We both now hold keys tightly to prevent noise. Think we have both been trained.😂
I just don't get why the noise fills them with dread; it's not like anything bad has ever happened to them after the noise happens. If anything, they should consider it a good noise as sometimes it means I've gone to get them some grass/returned with grass!

They potter about without a care in the world when the hoover is on and about 2ft away from them but goodness! Not the keys! That are a room away! 😱
 
Mischievous Master Boris has a VERY long list of sounds that need to be growled at......
Keys jingling
Any noise from any mobile phone
Any noise from the ring doorbell or Alexa
Most TV theme tunes (especially eastenders)
Any TV background music
Anyone walking past the house
The extraction fan for the cooker
The air fryer
The microwave..........
🙄🤷‍♂️

But if a burglar broke in, I bet he'd be like 'Oh hey!...... You'll find all the valuables (except us! ha) in that room. Any chance you could grab something for me from the fridge while you're there?'
 
The girls were having floor time and I went out in the back garden for a bit and left the back door open and when I turned to go back indoors, there was Minerva sticking her head out the door and Gaia stood not far behind.

I was surprised because they hate being outside. Was also not surprised because it's Minerva and she is trying to find a way to change that old proverb 'curiosity killed the cat' to omit the cat and add guinea-pig to it instead and Gaia encourages her.

I held back to see if Minerva would come outside and help herself to the garden but she stayed put and started eating the doorstep instead. 🫤
 
i've had similar things happen to me with my new piggies, when I went out to feed them one morning I spotted Skittles hop out of the cage (we have a natural setup surrounded by rocks) and wander around for about 5 mins then hop back in, I stood back to see what would happen as it wasn't the first time but we thought we had secured the spot but alas we have climbing piggies... it has now been more secured and will be re done again this weekend when I have the time and materials.... but piggies know where they live and they know that they 'should' stay there.

Minerva doesn't know where she lives though; on the rare occasions she has been outside, she has run up the path towards where the neighbour's cats hang out, or, headed towards the gate and the driveway. 🫤
 
I remember once quite a few years ago we got our children two piggies called biscuit and blackie. Once we got them home we were making the hutch and run and my daughter was soooo impatient that she wanted to hold her piggy straight away. Well it jumped off her lap and headed straight under the shed. Thankfully dad grabbed it at the last minute. Phew. Lesson learnt. lol.
 
Please be very careful about piggies outside, especially when they’re not in a protected or enclosed run.
Piggies can be very fast and can be gone before you have time to realise they’re doing a runner.

I obviously need to be aware of what Minerva is doing and where 24/7. Fortunately, Gaia doesn't have an adventurous streak, or like doing exercise, otherwise I'd be dealing with a piggy that likes running into danger and will bite anyone who tries to save her from herself. At least Minerva doesn't do the biting part. 🙄

I am careful and the cgae has been more secured, my previous babies were like Gaia to lazy (and fat..) to climb anything so I didn't think the new ones could.
 
Dear @guineapogmum

There is no point trying to get on my good side - there isn't one as far as badly behaved Slaves go. You are on the Naughty List. Guinea pigs are never fat or lazy. How dare you even imply that! They are well rounded and sleepy.

Just 'noted'...... that I've been 'helpful'........

This is the highest level of praise I'm ever going to receive from Miss Bramble so I humbly accept. 😭

Dear Miss Bramble,
I am truly sorry, you are right as always they were just sleepy and well-rounded, am I on the list permanently or temporarily? and how can I ever redeem my self?
your truly sorry pog mum.

(just wondering what is a good weight for an adult piggy?)

You are on the list FOREVER @guineapogmum I should know as me and @fluffysal were the first on this list. Not bragging or anything. I’ve been a model slave since and Miss Bramble (@Betsy) will not revoke my sentence. There is no time off for good behaviour 😢. I’ve asked a few times and it’s a NO!

Anyway welcome 🤗
 
Dear @weepweeps and @guineapogmum

That is correct. There is no coming off the Naughty List. This is also the Wall of Shame I can add you to and the Cup of Disgrace I can award you too. The current holder of the Cup of Disgrace is @exia. The Bucket of Shame will be forever over the head of @Minnou as that was a special award from her own Minerva and Gaia.

Miss Bramble, can I pass the cup of disgrace over to @guineapogmum ? Ive been a really good slave these days and I will continue to try to be the slave my furryfeets desverve.
 
Dear @fluffysal

All I need to say is that the GPU is holding an Emergency General Meeting and discussing your case......

In my defence I was defending @guineapogmum as it took several warnings before @weepweeps and I were on the list FOREVER 😭
