Hi, it's me again!
I managed to get hold of mummy's phone while she is sitting at the computer. Good thing humans don't have our range of vision, always having to look straight ahead. ;)

Today I would like to ask for your support in a very serious matter: the question of apple (or other fruits) or no apple in our diet. 🍎🍏🍎🍏🍎
I'm nearly four years old but when I think back on my life, I have got the feeling that we get less and less apple.
Our slave always murmurs something about fruit not being good for us - but hey, a piggy can't live on hay and grass and dandelion and plantain and cucumber and bell pepper and salad and a tiny peace of carrot alone. And yes, okay, I'm a bit overweight, but you can't spend your whole life on a diet.

I like a little bit of sugar in my life. And Odi and Vicky have really got a sweet tooth. They have even trained our slave to give them a little bit of apple after they have eaten their green bell pepper - I love green bell pepper but Odi and Vicky wouldn't touch it if it weren't for the apple they get as a special treat after eating it.
But even these pieces are so small - it's a tragedy! :eek:

So I would like to start a petition for more apple in our daily menu.
Are there any piggies out there to help me and my fellows? :bye:
Lot's of love and piggy kisses

Hiya Billie

As I am Shop Steward for the Guinea Pig Union (GPU) I have drafted a letter for you. All you need to do is put your paw print on it and it'll be actioned.

Lots of Wheaks
The Ever Beautiful Betsy

Dear GPU

I have a complaint to make about my Mummy Slave. She doesn't give me any apple (or any other fruit for that matter). I love apple, I adore apple. Mummy Slave knows this but I don't get any. It's just not fair. Vicky and Odi get apple but only as a bribe so that they eat green pepper first which they don't like but I do so I don't get any apple. Its a travesty! I may get lots of other yummy food like hay and grass and dandelion and plantain and cucumber and bell pepper and salad and a tiny piece of carrot but I NEED APPLE!

Yours Wheakily

Billie
 
Dear Billie,

We would definitely sign a petition as Mummy slave hardly ever gives us apple. What's worse is that little slave sometimes eats an apple IN FRONT OF US! Oh, the temptation .......

Love from Pink and Pumpkin
 
Dear Billie,

We are fully in support of your campaign; so please do let us know if we can help in any way. We can't thank you enough for getting the ball rolling with this. Our slave thinks it's perfectly ok to limit fruits too. When we get watermelon, it's not even a full slice! Simply not acceptable. Perhaps if you have success with your apple campaign, we could then extend the complaint to cover other fruits too?

As we said, we are more than happy to help. I'm not sure of what use we can be, but we are a rather good wheeking choir should the complaint reach protest stage. Just give us plenty of notice to make our signs and banners (that will teach the slave for leaving the hay boxes so close to the cages....). Plus I bet we can bribe that huge, slobbery one into distracting the slave before we set off for the march.

Keep us posted with your progress,

Best regards,
Thor, Stark, Banner, Rufus and Bobby
 
Apples contain a lot of vitamins. And we all need Vitamin C, don't we?

I also found this very useful phrase on the internet.
An apple a day, keeps the doctor away.
Should work with vets as well!

At the moment I'm waiting to hear from GPU. I hope this email stuff worked.
I'll let you know as soon as I hear something.

Hey, that's a great idea! A piggy march of protest. Maybe going through a lovely park. We could have a pignick on the way.
And cardboard just tastes lovely. :D

I knew I could count on you all for good ideas.

That's outrageous!
You should contact Beautiful Betsy asap.

Oh goodness, how does she not give you all the apples?!
Rey would like more apple too please, but even they won’t persuade her to eat green pepper!

Rey, try to get your slave to buy red bell peppers. No substitute for apples, but much sweeter. And don't let them tell you they contain sugar. That's just flavour. :inn:

Rey here, way ahead of you! Slave now buys red peppers exclusively, even though they’re more expensive that way (whatever that means) and less good for me (rubbish!) there are advantages to being old and bereaved!

Dear Billie

Our Shop Steward, The Ever Beautiful Betsy, has sent us your complaint about no apple. It is totally outrageous that your Slave never lets you have any apple but gives it to Vicky and Odi. How would your Slave cope with never eating chocolate again while her family gorged it in front of her? We will put apple on the "Daily List of Food That Just Must be Eaten" along with pepper, lettuce (not iceburg obviously), cucumber etc. We suggest you wheak really loudly when your friends get apple and try to nick it off them. Hopefully that will give your Slave the hint and she will give you apple.

Yours in Wheaky Oneness (and love of apple)

The GPU.
 
Dear Billie,

I feel your pain - it is a constant battle with these sub-standard slaves isn't it?
I too have faced many struggles with my own boring slave, who has been very slow to pick up on my every need.

But do keep trying - you are a wonderful advocate for all of us deprived guinea pigs out there.
And if all else fails I do find the occasional sharp nip keeps them on their toes.

Love Ruby xx
 
Dear Billie, we would definitely support your petition for more apple 🍎.
Slave eats apples and we think that if they’re good for her it follows they’re good for us, but do we ever get any? No we don’t, ever.

Dear Ruby,
yes, the quality of our domestic slaves really is a constant cause of sorrow.
But my slave has some good qualities as well. She is very nice, comfy und warm to take a nap on. So I guess I'll have to live with the rest.
Except for the lack of apples ... and lino ... and ...

Really, no apples ever?
What a tragedy! Apples taste so sweet and full of fun and love and joy and ... so sweet.
Like a ray of light after a thunderstorm, like a beautiful sunset, like the promise of piggy heaven.

You really must get your slave to give at least a little bit of apple to you from time to time. 🍎🍏🍎🍏🍎🍏

That's the way to handle things. :D
Since Odi moved in last September and conviced the slave that he really, really, really couldn't eat more than a few bites of green bell pepper, but could condescend to a bit of red bell pepper, it's a permanent part of our dailey diet. ;)

Thank you for your swift reply. It's great that you are adding apples to our list of daily must haves. :luv:
I think you made a lot of piggies really happy.
Now we have only got to find a way to distribute more apples in our piggy kingdom (or queendom). :D
 
This thread has had me chuckling. It reminded me of an old thread about pea flake taxation and the Code of Conduct for Peaflake Collectors. I’m sure the GPU have codes of conduct about how to demand fruit with menaces…..
Taxation

I’d forgotten that thread @VickiA .
Reading it again made me laugh.
Mine had pea flakes for the very first time yesterday.
I’m surprised I still have fingers!
 
I dared to have blueberries for breakfast with my skyr and I was greeted this morning by some very active bar biting antics by Evie (she with the teeth like @Swissgreys Ruby) with heavyweight back up by Boris the chunk. Evie and Boris would like to add the daily delivery of multiple blueberries to the petition, please.
