Survivors Group Therapy

Stripe my brother,

Critical care is like the best thing ever. I got so pissed when Joe had problems with his tooth and got it. So jealous. Everything in a syringe is the best!

Polo my junkie,
I really know that feeling and feel for you. I imagine a day on male-slaves pillow, with Oreo vanillas, parsley and a big syringe with metacam... Oh what a dream day!

Yours truly, Kongi
 
Thank you Kongo, these bitter sweet longings delight and trouble me in equal measure. Truffle sniffs and runs off when offered the syringe now. It seems I am alone in this 💔
Stripe, take what Mom gives you, you don't want to get things and look like a junkie.

I mean thin, not that I am a good example, but take care to eat my friend, the food is good, it is plentiful. Remember the guinea pig proverb, eat well, poop well, never forget 🫘
 
Mom got up at 5, so she came in our room at 6. Chez was begging but I was yawning. He's leaving the stems of his lettuce.

We can con mom into more cookies. We have mini heart shaped cookies and bigger hay cookies she breaks into tiny pieces.

I'm currently cleaning my privates, mom stop watching!

Meds in an hour. It's much too early to zoom.
 
Truffle: Polo leaves his lettuce spines near the bars to tease me into bar biting! My slave brings more quickly 😉
Stripe, well done for being fussy but don't overdo it! Emotional blackmail benefits from a degree of being cuddly, or fluffy in my case. Under my fur I'm not a very big piggy!
 
Dear Stripe

I understand that your Slave is hurting your feelings. I don't understand the reason but I think it's rude. I asked Thea and she said to ask my Mum Misty so I asked Misty and got a good telling off and was told never to ask again and to keep myself "nice" whatever that means.

I have looked in Leaflet "what to do when your Slave makes fun of you" and on Page 5, Paragraph 3a, it states "If for any reason your Slave makes fun of you this should not be tolerated. To make your Slave realise that you won't put up with this behaviour you should
  • Wheek loudly at every single opportunity (if you aren't a wheeker now is a good time to find your voice) or get your cage mate to wheek for you.
  • When your Slave has you out for cuddle time and she places you on a pee pad, wiggle your bum off it and deposit lots of poops and a really long wee right in her lap.
  • Stand up on your hind legs by the side of your cage and look hungry and your Slave should stop making fun of you and feed you immediately"
I hope that this information proves useful.

Dear Miss Bramble,

You got told off? That is not on! How exactly did you ask Misty?

We don't like cuddle time but slave wishes we did...

Dear Ophelia and Bianca

My Mum Misty is VERY strict with me. She got "caught out" whatever that means and had me and my brothers (although I never see them) and she doesn't want the same to happen to me. So anything I ask about "that" I get told off. My Mum Misty says she is only looking after me and my reputation.

I was so good! I went right in my snuggle sack for meds this morning and took 10 ml critical care.

Chez was wheeking the whole time I was in Mom's lap. Is he jealous? Worried? We don't know. He doesn't like being handled so he doesn't get a turn.

Mom came in the room and said "hey, cookie boys" which is a much better nickname than bun boy.

Mom has to finish up a paper this morning and do some other school work, but then she'll be done. Maybe 5 hours of work.
 
Dear fellow survivors,

I'm trying to cope the Swedish winter. Slave gave us snuggles to keep warm but Joe wants to be in (my!) house. Yeah, slave has her ideas and now she's in to switching some of our furnitures. She wants us to get used with each others smells before she might try to bond us. Joe seems to love my cologne! I like his house to, but not my snuggle. I'm like a diver - I dive into things and just one entrance makes it a bit hard for me. Turn around? No guys, I'm not a circuspig! And when we talk food I'm always in a hurry to catch it right away and get lost in that snuggle.

This is how I keep my warmth. And when slave got up from bed today it was hay everywhere but none in my box. Scuba diving in the hay you know!

The First Day without Metacam went quite well. I am a philosophical piggy by nature and worried for only a short while before going for a nap. There were some distractions however.
Truffle: Polo pulled the royal Truffle house (my fleece hide which matches the colour of my fur) off the top of the cage and it fell on him (it's very light and soft). He got a fright and tried to bolt up his ramp, but discovered he was inside the Truffle house, which made bolting a bit difficult. He acted cool for a bit, and then the Truffle House, which was on its side, started to walk awkwardly across the cage. Mom picked him up and gave him a cuddle, checked the length of his toe nails and looked at an itchy spot, although there was nothing to be seen. Mom and I were laughing, but Polo is good humoured and I think he enjoyed having some pets 😄
 
Polo, I'm glad you're not having cravings too bad. I just had my metacam. I had some critical care, too. Now I'm popcorning, hay diving, rearranging my furniture, and occasionally stopping for a poop or drink of water. I've got roughly 12 days of antibiotics left and mom works late tonight, so she'll wake me up for them. We all hate late meds days.
 
Thank you Stripe, 12 days of antibiotics sounds yuk, but if it keeps you popcorning, then it can't be too awful. Us piggies need our sleep 😴
 
They also want to do another X-ray in a couple weeks. Mom's worried my vet bills are costing a lot but my grandpa might send Christmas money. Mom will use it on me and possibly hire a professional cleaner/organizer for a one time deep clean of the whole house. There's a lot of clutter!

Chez and I were just napping but we both got up for a cookie then Chez went back under the fleece to nap but I'm munching hay.
 
Mom's calling me "arthropod" today. Not sure what that is, but it's better than some of the unsavory nicknames I've had.

She came in to do my meds at 10:45 pm last night and she'll have to do it again tonight because she works late again. She hates it, I hate it.

Currently doing a couple popcorns.

We get our cages cleaned and I get weighed in two hours.
 
Dear Stripe

I don't think that being likened to an insect, spider, millipede or a crab is very nice! If you think that's good what the heckity heck has your Slave been calling you?!?!?!

My Slave has nice nicknames for me. My favourite one at the moment is The Queen of Floof because my winter floofy fur has grown in and she say I look beautiful.

You need to make your Slave aware that she shoud not be calling you an "arthropod"! To do this you must play even harder to get when its meds time. I like to play "catch me if you can" with my Slave. Run away from her then when she thinks she has a hold of you run away again! Its good fun. Also pretend to go in your hidey for meds but come out again! Do this several times and then go in your hidey. You will get lots of praise from your Slave as you have eventually capitulated. Meds are not nice but they will make you feel better so you really do need to take them.

Miss Bramble, I will take your advice because now she is singing a little song about me being an arthropod! I hate spiders!

But the good news is I gained 12 grams in four days! I've been getting 10ml of critical care and it's making me gain weight!

Dear Stripe

Having heard of the seriousness of the offences of your Slave, an Emergency Meeting of the GPU has been held. The Members agreed unanimously that her name shall be forever on the Wall of Shame and she should also be awarded the Cup of Disgrace.

Hi

Meds must not have been so bad, I'm popcorning.

Actually yesterday mom did the math wrong, I gained 20 grams! 50 to go.

Mom has to go to the store and clean today.

We got a hay bag with lots of seed heads.

I thought perhaps the Slave meant to say that Stripe is a gastropod - "stomach-foot" being more appropriate for creatures that are basically tummies on 4 legs.
 
Just had meds and hour ago but had some basil just now. I have to admit, the basil made me popcorn and zoom! I've got a real crazy look in my eye. Even though me and Chez didn't get the extra cookie we asked for.

Now Chez is zooming like mad. It's dusk and we always get crazy at dusk.
