This is the official thread where all the piggie pictures and notifications of presents received will go :) I have asked the rescues involved to tell me when something arrives, so that I can update this thread for them and they then feel under less pressure to get photos etc.
Some lucky people already have their piggies, which is why I chose to start this thread now as presents could arrive any day now! I apologise to the rest of you waiting but I am waiting on lists from the other rescues - when I have them, you can have your piggies, I promise! ((If it's any consolation, I don't have my piggie either!))
 
First photos of the year: Lucy, an older lady living at Glynneath Guinea Pig Rescue has been very spoilt! Since her hutchmate Esther passed, she has not been able to put up with another housemate! So her Santa has treated her to some very nice fleecy things...

Ooh! It has my name on it!

This is so soft and comfy, perfect for sleeping!

What? You want photos? Oh, alright then... Smile...

And now I really must rest, being gorgeous is such hard work :)

Oh Walter! Bless his little heart he looks so happy with all his treats! ^):0
 
Royston & Humphrey

A present arrived today! Royston has recently had an operation to remove 4 tumours from his stomach. While it was successful, he has now developed 2 more - hence the 'Get Well soon' message :)

This is for us? Just for us, really? But it's so big!

Royston2_zpsd26952bb.jpg


Fleecy things, yaaaay!

Royston3_zpsc43b6589.jpg


Erm, Royston, you do realise there's one each, right? We don't have to share, so get your bum out of my face!

Royston6_zps62baef73.jpg


Aaaaaah, much better! What a wonderful life it is, to be a pig in fleece.

Mowgli, the resident 'nut job'

Mowgli is a permanent resident at Glynneath GPR, described by Suzy as a 'total nut job' with a head tilt.

He seemed more excited by the box, and was convinced that it was his present...

Mowgli1_zps2083b481.jpg


Nothing would convince him otherwise, even going so far as to eat it. No, really Mowgli - it's behind you!

Mowgli2_zpsaf38fe24.jpg


And when Suzy finally got into the presents, he was happy to climb into his fleecy bed and watch over his mound of presents. (Some for Suzy too!) He is difficult to photograph because, and I quote: Mowgli loves fleecy beds and rolls around in them like a loon, legs waving about in the air!

Baldric, everyone's favourite skinny pig

This set of photographs is tinged with sadness. Baldric lived with Edmund, his adopted 'son'. I was told a few days ago by Suzy that Edmund's health had rapidly deteriorated, due to some rather aggressive tumours. His Santa was informed and she rushed their present to them as soon as possible. Sadly, it didn't make it there on time and Edmund, who had gone downhill very quickly, passed away before their gift arrived. So Baldric, everyone's favourite skinny pig, is opening them alone. Hugs to him and Suzy at this sad time xx

This big box is for me? Really? Look at the size of it! And a pretty pink bag too! :)

All of these things? Can I eat the wrapping? It looks mighty tasty...

Baldric2_zpsb58b6ce8.jpg


Oooooh, a hay tunnel, my favourite! :))

Baldric3_zps7def49ab.jpg


I can keep warm and eat at the same time :) How lovely of my Santa to give me a new friend to cuddle with too :)

Baldric4_zpsed09f6af.jpg
 
Oh Mowgli you charmer! Baldric so sorry about Edmund and hopefully you won't be without another friend for long but you have some lovely pressies to keep you entertained for now.
 
Roobarb and Custard, the long-haired gents!

Roobarb and Custard are gorgeous long-haired gents at Windwhistle Warren. Custard has an old eye injury and it's giving him a bit of grief. Roobarb is a little darker in colour (that's how you tell them apart!)

Hey Custard, look! We got a card for Christmas!
Roobarb1_zps93f6a9c5.jpg


What? Christmas? No chance, not yet!

Custard2_zps89520972.jpg


Oh, I guess you're right! It must be Christmas!

Custard1_zps34c8c448.jpg


Look at these wonderful gifts! Wow!

RoobarbampCustard1_zps9190640a.jpg


Oh my what a lovely snuggly teepee!

Roobarb2_zps4e93ccc0.jpg


And now to rest, with a nice bowl of treats for when we wake up.

Dexi, from Cardiff GPR

Dexi was a very spoilt boy this year! Cardiff GPR got a lot of presents for him - so many that he couldn't open them all on his own! Lisa popped in another little boy who lives there to see what all the fuss was about!

All these presents for Dexi!

Dexi5_zpsf81f2471.jpg


Really? All for me?!?

Dexi3_zps20cd2213.jpg


Wow, what wonderful gifts! But, you do know that hidey hole is mine, right? I want it!

Dexi6_zps0eab9608.jpg


Aaah, that's better. All mine.

Dexi1_zps624874d8.jpg


Can I eat this?
Dexi4_zps008df0e6.jpg


How about this? Can I eat this?

Dexi2_zpsf4e81c69.jpg


This one. This is so colourful it MUST be food.
((It is not food. It's the Christmas card. Dexi was insistant on eating everything in sight and so was a right little pain to get photos of!))

Bess and her 4 babies

Bess is a new mummy at Milhaven GPR - she had 3 baby boys and 1 baby girl a couple of weeks ago. Her Santa insisted on getting lovely gifts for all of them, so here they are...

Look babies! It's a present for us!

Bess1_zpse51eadff.jpg


Smile for the camera now, this is to say 'Thank you' to Santa...

Bess2_zps9f4e51e3.jpg


Fleecy things! Lots of fleecy things! How wonderful!

Bess4_zpsd2ba6792.jpg


And a Christmas card too! What does it say...?

Bess3_zpsc49987ed.jpg


Now babies, do you like the fleecy things?

Bess5_zpsada0da09.jpg


Treats for us to share, and to be pampered with. Every new mummy deserves to be pampered...

Bess6_zpsa79c6378.jpg


And a treat that's maybe not for the piggies...

Bess7_zps7895d2af.jpg


Bess' only little girl all tuckered out. It's a hard life being spoilt!
