A massive thank you to all the Secret Santas for making this year's one so successful.

As I know some people are still waiting to see their piggies receiving their gifts I thought I'd better let you know that I have not got any more to share with you - a couple of the pigs that were nominated for SS have not had a parcel though, in case anyone has sent for Scabby Bite Wound Boy or Cat's Take-away mum + babies.

Suzy, I know its terrible but your names just crack me up everytime! x
 
We also have no more pics to share but two of the piggies nominated havn't received parcels, Pandora and Bernadette.

Thank you to everyone who sent our piggies presents, I've been overwhelmed once again by your thoughtfulness and generosity and all our piggies had a wonderful Christmas and lovely treats, thanks to you all. xx>>>
 
We're also not got anymore photo's to share with you.
But do have a couple of our nominated piggies still waiting for their Secret Santa's.
We like every other rescue that received would like to say a very heartfelt thank you to those that supported us with the lovely gifts and made Christmas extra special for the guineas. :)

It should be made mandatory that this pig keeps his name when he finds his forever home!
 
Hmmmm... not sure that's likely to happen LOL.

This is the little man in question, Scabby Bite Wound Boy.

I was hoping that his SS would want to choose his name. So as he didn't get a pressie (well not strictly true as he did get a share from the other piggies) are there any suggestions? Maybe if there's a lot we'll have a poll of the top ones so the forum gets to choose.

I'm sorry for laughing at your name, you're very cute. How about Pepper? xx
 
His cagemate is called Sebastian, and I generally only use human names - so I'm afraid Pepper can't make the short list. LOL I know I'm a fussy .

That's funny because I only ever use human names too! I know most people prefer more describing names though, which is why I went for Pepper!

Hmmmm, Sebastian immediately makes me think of Sebastian Vettel (Formula 1 champion) who's team-mate is Mark Webber. Mark might be a bit boring for a piggie though. Vettel's manager is called Christian. If you're not an F1 fan, probably makes no sense anyway! x
 
Oh I'm an F1 fan too so it makes perfect sense - and yes like the names so added to the list.

I do go for literary names too so thought of Sebastian and Antonio (from The Tempest).

Ermm as this is not really a Secret Santa topic maybe I should start another thread - :))

Yeah, probably better start another thread. Great to find another F1 fan though. You could just go for world champions in general. He looks a bit like a Lewis! Love the Shakespearian route too though. We're also fans of traditional scottish/irish music so often go for tune names, i.e. Peggy Gordan & Elsie Marley both came from tunes/songs! I'll shut up now and get off the secret santa thread x

thank you to everyone who has sent prezzies to rodney, leo, freddie and fergus they really really loved them and have been a big big help to the rescue and a big comfort to the piggies, i took many pigtures but sadly my daughter has been messing with my camera and deleted my pictures which i am not happy about at all i am so sorry i cant put pigtures on of them and their presents :(
but a massive thank you to everyone who donated to the secret santa for the potteries guinea pig rescue x

ps the piggies loved their snuggle sacks and enjoy snuggling in their fleece blankets.

Oh no :( was really looking forward to pigtures..

Any chance of the piggies themselves so we can see who we made happy?And maybe some of them with their presents? (If they havenn't been spread around the other piggies yet)

:)) x

I love the name Sebastian x) Sylvester is also a name I like, I had a huge rescue cat and that's what I called him - he was the image of the cartoon character but the most lovable I've ever owned :))
 
Woohoo, how lovely to come back to this thread to find even MORE pigtures! Hehe, it's like christmas will never end! Looking forward to your pics Vicky!

Brownlow would like to say a huge thank you to his Secret Santa for all the lovely gifts.

Brownlow is a very shy little guy, and he got rather overwhelmed by it all, as you will see. His lovely wife, Creme Fraiche, had a look at all the presents though and told him about them.

Also a big thank you for my chocolates, they were lovely. Sorry no vid of me eating them lol

Buddy says a huge thank you to his Secret Santa. Both him and his wife Lola love the gifts x

Checking out what he has got



Playing peek-a-boo in his little bed



Letting Lola have a turn too


Buddy came to the Sanctuary a very ill piggie. He was fully syringe fed for the first week, but gradually started to eat again and is now a happy and healthy piggie, with a very beautiful wife called Lola!
 
Kevin says a big thank you to his Secret Santa! He received lots of gifts, but was so enjoying his carrot that he couldn't take it all in! Poor Perry was so overwhelmed by it all that he was stood in the corner in shock! :))




Kevin would also like to thank his Secret Santa for paying some money to Uncle Simon so he can make sure he stays happy and healthy. Kevin has been feeling a bit poorly lately and has had very itchy skin, so he has been to see Uncle Simon a few times.

Kevin was a very poorly piggie when he arrived at The Sanctuary. He had severe dental problems and only weighed 326g. He has gone from strength to strength and his dental issues seem to have been cured.
 
I think that's all mine on now. Bill and Creme Fraiche didn't receive gifts.

Thank you to everyone who sent gifts or paid money to the vets for the piggies here at The Excellent Adventure Sanctuary! It means such a lot.
.
These little guys have battled through so much, yet still have such a zest for life. I consider it a huge privilege to be part of their lives.
 
Florence went to her new home before I could get her present too her, so new arrivals Bella and Bonnie happily accepted the gift on her behalf.

The edible humans are amazing, Bella actually ripped the bag open to get to them, they are the first piggy treat I have ever had that all the piggies instantly ate. I think Bella would have eaten the bag full. Thank you so much for the girls gift, it is obvious that alot of time went into making it for them.
 
Fantastic pictures, it's lovely to still be seeing them. And Rolo on top of his box was great.
 
Fab pics! What lucky piggies indeed and great news that Rolo is off to his new home!
 
oooo what lucky piggies, I can't help but think Bella and Bonnie will have been disappointed that there wasn't a pair of shoes in the box hehe :)) that's one secret santa who has very pretty things on her feet and I am a tad jealous hehe
