I am so sad about everybody's losses over Christmas, but glad that all Seccret Santa piggies have enjoyed their gifts!
 
So sad to hear of the little ones who left us for the Rainbow 8...
Heart warming to see all the other piggies enjoying their pressies - such a great thread and was wonderful to be part of it :))
THANK YOU EVERYONE x
Really helped make our Christmas a bit more thoughtful this year and helping these extra special piggies... somehow more worthy :(|)
 
Aww more beautiful piggies, everyone has done so well with their secret santas! Lots of really thoughtful, useful, lovely presents!
 
a not quite secret santa

One more package to go from a not quite secret Santa and these pics will be posted later today after I have finished the huge task of cage cleaning.

Can I say a HUGE and heartfelt THANK YOU to all the caring Santas who have made this Christmas special for the Cavy Corner guineas and us too through your generosity and kindness. The sentiment is heartwarming. Your gifts have been special and chosen with so much care ( and guinea love) and we have been deeply touched by the thoughfullness shown.
Words are really not enough but they are all I have so Thank you x x

Dougal and Astrid didnt even want to come out their new cuddly bed when their cage was being "serviced"
Popcorn is very cute and bright and intersted in everything.

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.

Oooh what have I got here?

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!

He is such a star.
Dear old Archie.
Well done clever boy. We love you.

Hi
I'd just really like to say a huge thank you to the lady that organised this . It has been a real pleasure to be a part of and has made Christmas seem more special.

I'd also really like to thank the rescues for all the wonderful photos. I realise you must all be so busy and it takes time to take all the photos and upload them but its been such a joy to look at all the pigs receiving their presents.

Guinea pigs always seem to look really appreciative of presents - even if its just snatching it off you and devouring it! You know they like it! So many presents I buy for people and children, I never hear another word about!

Can't wait until next year when we can do it all again!

:x Agree totally, has been fun and really enjoyed shopping for my SS piggy - I can't have him/her but like to think they all know we care about them xoxo
 
I've absolutely loved doing this too. It's been my first year on the forum, and my first time as a SS.....It was so heartwarming to see so many people get involved with this and all the wonderful gifts they sent - has actually bought a tear to my eye at times.

It;'s also great to see all the amazing pigtures (thank you to the rescues for posting!) and how happy the piggies were. Lovely to know that the piggies who are extra special in their own little way are also getting the joy of Christmas too :)

Whilst Himilayans Mini Pig and Sugar pig ( from the summer bedroom rescue of 66 ) found sheer bliss with the cutest baby pink and blue spotted double Cozy. Sugar Pig didnt even bother getting all the way in before snuggling down.

Thank you for making the piggies Christmas (and ours) so special.
 
Yay! More pigtures! Those cosies look so snuggly, wish I could get in there with a piggy!
 
How lovely

I've been welling up lokking at all these Secret Santa photos, what a fab thing to do.
Wish I knew it was happening would have loved to send something, I suppose I can do it any time of the year to any rescue!

Whoever organised this is full of love and likes to share it around, my hat goes off to you.-c
 
So so sweet!

I had wanted to wrap my little cavies presents up at Xmas but not sure if I could have done - I gave them two new tunnels and a boredom tree and some new fun twig things.

I just love the picture of the presents for the little one! - It is so so sweet!x>>

I agree - she's done it the last few years, and it must be a lot of hard work .... but you can keep your eyes peeled around October next year and if she does it again, get in early and you can be part of it too. It really is rewarding.
 
Suzy Receives Her Secret Santa Gifts.

One of our long term residents, Suzy, received a box of goodies from her secret Santa today. It really has made her very happy, she had so much fun opening her presents. Thank you so much to her secret Santa! x>> Suzy was born with no eyes and so she is a rather vulnerable piggy, her sockets weep constantly and she needs round the clock care to ensure no infection but she is a happy piggy and quite the independant!


Suzy was very interested in the smells coming from the presents and loved the sound of the rustling paper!

She loved her presents, especially her new soft bed. Suzy loves soft things being blind and she is so touched that secret santa knew her most favourite thing in the world!

She also quite liked the delicious smells coming from the treats!

Thank you so much secret Santa, you have made Suzy a very happy piggy!

Suzy has taken the bed back to her cage and the treat stick too! rolleyes
 
How beautiful is Suzy drool

I'm loving reading this thread and it restores my faith in human nature that there are so many caring secret santas :))

I sadly missed joining in as I am new to the forum, but next year I will definately be sending gifts to a deserving piggy! :))
 
Suzy is indeed a very special piggy and just loved her bed, just been to check on them all and she is still in it! :))
 
Suzy is a darling. Poor girl being born with no eyes. I feel for her but your doing the right thing secret Santa and milhaven, given her a better life :-)
