I just wanted to report on this thread that I've just donated £371.94 to Windwhistle Warren. This is the profit from my Christmas cozy sales (including quite a few secret santa gifts and orders from forum members). The total raised for Windwhistle is now £481.10, leaving just £18.90 to go before I meet my £500 target.

Thanks to everyone who ordered secret santa gifts and other items from me.

Fantastic well done :)
 
Archie had lots of fun opening his Secret Santa present today.

Archie has lots of health problems and has been very up and down throughout the year. His teeth are dreadful and very misplaced and he needs to have them filed every 10 to 12 days. A couple of months ago a tooth root abscess, that appears to have been brewing for a very long time, finally erupted and he needed surgery to lance and drain it. His weight had plummeted to 600g and I was so worried he wasn't going to come back from this one. However, in true Archie form he soon bounced back, and here he is opening his present.

Hey this all looks good!




Click on the pic to watch him exploring his presents! Look out for Priya, the cat, who is watching closely from the top of the sofa! You only get a very quick glimpse of her!

Cavy Corner Christmas Secret Santa (Part 2) Carly

Carly was initially a little overawed by her huge box! You can see that it was big enough for her to play in and when we helped her to open it she actually jumped in and snuggled down amongst the presents.
Inside was a nice letter, beautifully wrapped practical and tasty piggie presents AND some presents for us too! That is so kind... Secret Santa. Thank you from equally excited Suze, Winston and Carly

Cavy Corner Christmas Secret Santa ( part 3) Pheonix

Pheonix very very sadly left us on Christmas morning to go sit by that big old Christmas tree at Rainbow bridge. She was an old lady who had been poorly for some time but was brave and rallied.... we thought she was over the worst. We have given the parcel that her kind Secret Santa sent for Pheonix to her best friend and cage mate Rowena. She instantly spotted the tunnel and was in it before it was even unwrapped. Thank you kind Secret Santa ..... Your parcel has cheered up Rowena and brightened a sad Christmas. Inside the parcel were some wonderfull piggie signs and choccies for us too.

Cavy Corner Christmas Secret Santa ( part 4) Minnow

It was particulary special watching ex Lymmington piggie Minnow open her fabulous presents from her Secret Santa as this time last year she was so very ill that we nursed her around the clock. Today she is lively and happy (she has a useless leg but it doesn't stop her doing anything she wants)
She will share will her adopted "family" Geoff, Scarlett and Olivia they are all incredibly close and love each other. Thank you so much Secret Santa.

Thank you for the wonderful photos and stories. So sorry you lost Phoenix on Christmas Day but you have some real heart-warming stories there too. Beautiful x
 
I'll sort out Marigolds and Matildas presents now. I am very very sorry to say but we have lost Princess and Sooty over christmas. Princess on Christmas eve - I went to clean them out as I do every day and she had diarrhea - she died about 10 minutes later and had been fine the day before. Sooty on Boxing day I found asleep - dead - in her cage - she had been fine the night before no sign of any illness. We have cried alot of tears this christmas. Hence late photos.

I will post them and i'll try and get them on today.

I just wanted to say how sorry I am for both of your losses but I felt so sad about Princess after everything she's been through. I was really rooting for her to have a happy ever after. Lots of love at this sad time and I hope you find some comfort in the presents for your other piggies xxxxx

Princess is the one we have cried and cried over. My 5 year old spent the time up until bedtime on christmas eve drawing pictures to go in her burial box and sobbing. She was very much part of our family and it seems so so unjust. She was great one day and very poorly the other. Both the others in with her are okay. I wanted a happy ever after for her poor love.

Oh and we did love Sooty too - but Sooty was old, she just went to sleep and enjoyed christmas day and dinner. I knew we wouldn't have her long. Princess seemed like a baby.
 
Okay secret santa - sorry for bringing this thread down. Back up we go.

As happy as i am to see all the lovely piccies, i am so sorry for all your losses, poor babies.

Thank you for posting the pics at such sad times, they really are lovely. So nice to see the piggies getting spoilt.

So sorry to hear about the piggies that have gone to the bridge :(

Thanks for posting new pigtures of the secret santa piggies opening their prezzies! What lucky piggies they have been!
 
Louise I was so sorry to read about the girls, such sadness at the moment.:( It is never easy when a piggy decides it is time to leave, particularly a young one like Princess. I am glad that Sooty managed to enjoy one last Christmas supper, and whilst finding her in her forever sleep is always a shock for you, at least she went at home surrounded by those that loved her. Sending you all big hugs.

Thanks for sharing all the other SS pics, what a fantastic forum this is, I am so pleased we have been able to spread some festive cheer amongst the other foster piggies.x)
 
Cavy Corner Christmas Secret Santa part 5 Dougal & Astrid

Dougal and Astrid are an old married couple who have been here for precisely 3 years. They adore each other and were delighted with their Secret Santa parcel. It was clear that their absolute favourite present was the beautiful blue spotted double sized cosy bed....they went straight in and wouldnt come out! In fact when it was bedtime they were carried to their cage ....still in their lovely new bed.Dougal and Astrid say a big Thank You Secret Santa and so do we... thank you very much for our chocolate too.
