Secret Santa 2013 - Presents Received

[PottyForPiggies]

Just heard back from Rainbow Rescue, they tried to tag our page but it didn't get through - all 5 gifts for Rainbow Rescue have been received

 

[Toni]

Will any photos go up from rainbow rescue in due course and other secret santa rescues i love all the photos so far on the forum such lucky piggys

 

[GPTV]

Hope we get photos of all the secret Santa recipients with presents, but I guess we must be patient, as most of the rescues piggy slaves have full time jobs &the piggies are just an added extra.
I know I've been manically busy, so there's no way I would have had the chance to open presents or post pictures&that's just with one full time job.
Anyway its not time for the Santapig to come down the chimney yet...
2 more sleeps to go

Hopefully pics will be available shortly after pigmas. Will look forwards to them when presents are opened
Thankyou to Lauren at potty for piggys for arranging this fantastic idea.

[PottyForPiggies]

I have a batch of photos that I will be putting up tomorrow. Stay tuned then for at least 10-15 replies :-)

 

[PottyForPiggies]

I will be putting all the photos on in about 30 minutes or so, after a big old list of EVERYTHING that I have ever heard has been received. And then after that I apologise but I am taking until Boxing Day off. I have all the P4P money to calculate from the start of the month and that could take a while, plus all my own stuff. If your piggies' present is not on the list then I am sorry but I will chase it up after Christmas. I think i've drone pretty well this year but I cannot chase up each individual present as there are just too many.

I think you've done amazingly well; and to still be working on it on Christmas Eve is incredible! You've been so busy recently I hope you manage to get away from it all enough to have a great Christmas day - you seriously deserve it!

 

[PottyForPiggies]

OK, here goes...

PRESENTS RECEIVED - as in I personally have been notified that a present has been received - there may be more but I haven't been told about those. Please do not message me or freak out if your piggie's present is not on this list: I am in the process of chasing up the rescues to see if anything else has been received. This is strictly the presents I have been told about.
You can see how many there are and how big a task this has been.

Uncle Piglet - the resident uncle for baby boys - Glynneath GPR.

Uncle Piglet is one of Suzy's gorgeous boys, who looks after all the baby boys who are too young to be rehomed but too old to stay with Mummy. He is 'not the quickest to work things out' but has the most wonderful face

A present for me?

It's so lovely and well wrapped: What's inside?

Can I pleeeeeeease open them now?

How nice of Santa to give these things to me!

Thank you Santa! I will enjoy these gifts ad share them with any little bubbas who come to live with me.

 

[PottyForPiggies]

Snowpig & Holly - Cavy Corner

Snowpig & Holly are a neutered male/female couple living at Cavy Corner. Snowpig only has 1 eye and has dental troubles. Holly helps to look after him

Look Snowpig, we have gifts!

Holly, please come up here and help me open ALL these gifts!

Something soft and fleecy! Just what I asked for! (he loves his fleecy things as it's a little bit of comfort for a boy with lots of health troubles.)

And there's one that's big enough for us to share. Thank you Santa

 

[PottyForPiggies]

Freddie - The Littlest Rescue

These gifts were originally for Bashir, but he developed gut stasis/torsion after his neutering operation and did not survive His Santa renamed the parcel and sent them to lovely little Freddie instead

Just the one photo but it is so precious

Thank you Santa, these gifts are wonderful and the veggie seeds will help keep me fed

 

[PottyForPiggies]

The Adorables - Glynneath GPR

The Adorables are mum Thea (black piggie) and daughers Bella & Dora (little white girlies with violet eyes!) They are known as 'the dwarf trio' as Bella and Dora are tiny little piggies who are smaller than normal for their age.

Look girls, we've got a present!

Wow Mum, we have really been spoilt! And there's some chocolates for Mummy Suzy too!

You girls play in the cube, I'm going to stay in the tunnel

Smiiiiiiiiiiiiiiile

Mummy gets a turn in the cube and look, it's fun to jump off too! Weeeeeeeeeeeee!

 

[PottyForPiggies]

Merrick - Glynneath GPR

Merrick is a well known superstar at Glynneath. He has had some major operations and bad health troubles, but has made it through and now he's super happy to be getting a gift!

Thank you Santa! I wish there was a better way I could say thank you...

Oh, there is! I could give you a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiig kiss!

Now, don't tell anyone, but I'm a bit of a charmer. I have a soft spot for skinny girls Clarice & Beatrice. I wheek at them across the room and hope that they wheek back . So I decided to share my food cubes with them. Aren't I nice?

 

[PottyForPiggies]

Spider - Milhaven GPR

Spider is the most adorable little ginger sausage, who is only palm-sized due to ongoing kidney troubles. He is just lovely!

There's a present for me? Really? Thank you Santa!

Fleecy things! What a wonderful gift for a little chap like me!

So much space for a little boy like me!

Thank you Santa, I am a happy little boy now thanks to the fleecy things you got for me

 

[PottyForPiggies]

Minnesota - Milhaven GPR

There was a parcel addressed to Alice, a lovely lethal girlie who sadly passed away the day before her present arrived. Alice was best friends with Minnesota, a sweet girl who has an AV block in her heart, so she can't do very much without risking getting very poorly. So Jo decided to let Minnesota open Alice's gifts

Look! I look just like the piggie on the wrapping paper and card! Someone must really like me to wrap it just like me!

Mmmmm, this bag smells looooooovely

What lovely toys and treats! I can nibble on these and share them with my friends.

Thank you Santa. Alice would have loved her gifts and I do too. I will share them with the other girlies in our group and make sure they enjoy them too xx

 

[PottyForPiggies]

Dexter - Hunsbury GPR

Dexter is a single boy who is waiting to find the perfect friend so he can go home

A present for me? Thank you!

Wow, so many nice things!

Hey Rattie, do you want some treats too? Let's see if we can eat our way through this bag...

Thank you Santa! So many nice things for me to share with my friends

 

[PottyForPiggies]

Paulette - Rescued Guinea Pigs (USA)

Paulette has thankfully been rehomed, so her gifts have been given to Lucie. Lucie was a back-to-back breeder who developed the worst hair loss and mites. She has thankfully now recovered and is ready to open gifts!

Thank you Santa, I'm sure Paulette would have loved these gifts!

Ooh, lovely! Something soft and fleecy for me to rest in

 

[PottyForPiggies]

Licorice - Cardiff GPR

These gifts were meant for Elmo, who has thankfully been rehomed now - the best Christmas gift that a piggie can get! So his gifts were given to little Licorice, who had just come into rescue. There are not many photos of Licorice, as he is currently very VERY unwell. He has a terrible case of mites which means he is covered in scabs and has had fits. Thankfully, the tasty treats in his box are really helping with his recovery, as the antibiotics have hindered his appetite.

A lovely card for Elmo/Licorice!

So beautifully wrapped! Licorice couldn't open them himself but Lisa opened them for him.

How lovely! Yummy treats and a nice fleecy tunnel. Licorice wasn't given the tunnel straight away, but now he has recovered a little more, he is in it and thoroughly enjoying having something soft to sleep in.

The little man himself. We hope to see pictures when he has fully recovered

 

[PottyForPiggies]

Sorrel & Angel Baby - Glynneath GPR

Sorrel and Angel Baby are a mother and daughter pair. Sorrel had a very traumatic pregnancy with her bubbas, and had to have emergency surgery. They are permanent residents now and fit and healthy!

Look Mum, gifts for us!

So well wrapped! I wonder what's inside!

Ooh, how spoilt we have been <3

Just big enough for too, I'm glad we can share

 

[PottyForPiggies]

Pixie, Dixie & Trixie - The Littlest Rescue

A gorgeous girlie trio who have been in rescue for far too long, as groups seem to be much harder to rehome, so they are overlooked all the time

Look girls, we have a card just for us - from Santa!

Just... squeeze up a little bit... We can fit...

 

[PottyForPiggies]

Ronald - The Littlest Rescue

Ronald is another lucky piggie who got the best ever gift this Christmas - a new home with a new friend! He now lives with a little chap called Reggie So his gifts will be shared amongst the other piggies in rescue.

Ronald with his new friend Reggie.

Ronald's amazing box of gifts - how wonderful to share with the other piggies!

 

[jenniferanneharris]

So lovley to see all these piggies with all these wonderful gifts this christmas :-). x

 

[worried val of york]

There's happiness and sadness in this thread. But it is wonderful to see the guinea pigs enjoy their gifts.

 

[sport_billy]

Thanks so much for all the updates, you are doing an amazing job. On behalf of all the staff of the forum we are all extremely grateful for all the hard work you have done on this. Thank you!

 

[PottyForPiggies]

Thank you I still have a small batch of pictures to put up but I'm afraid those are going to wait until after Christmas - I think enough has been done today I have to clean out my boys and give them an MOT, plus, you know. Eat and stuff.

 

[Lilly]

Oh Uncle Piglet - what an adorable face you have!

Snowpig & Holly - great bum poses in that cosy!

 

[PottyForPiggies]

Uncle Piglet is just lovely, isn't he? With a soft little face like that, I'm not surprised he's a great unclepig

 

[Guinea pig slave]

Lovely to see these little ones receiving their Secret Santa pressies - always one of my fave threads on here
Little Spider is sooo cute

 

[Kenzo]

I can't wait to see pictures of my secret santa piggy. ^^
