I did have to share an apple. They've never been interested in apple before.....
Also they now live next to the fridge so won't miss anything.
I can already see that I can get some better pigtures, Sir Georges "manliness" is much more obvious in the better light!

Mine live a room away from the fridge and Gaia doesn't miss a thing; she screams the place down every time anyone dare get some milk.

Which proves they're ignoring you when you call their names. :roll:

Just read that their sense of smell is 25x greater than ours and are not far off dogs! (Dogs: 811 olfactory receptor genes vs. Guinea pigs: 796 olfactory receptor genes)

Which explains why they ninja'd their way into the kitchen one day after I'd successfully, silently snuck in some grass. :roll:
 
Sister in law has been round every day since we moved here, she is going to bring her sewing machine round and "we" are going to try making pee pads.
Before this the boys met her just the once when she stayed the night a few months ago but they seemed to recognise her as she got a lovely greeting.
Anyway, she came up with a brilliant suggestion that solves issues of storage in the kitchen ( not enough cupboards) and a secure base for the cage. We have ordered some kitchen base units and sourced an offcut of extra wide worktop. Hubby will make a frame to sit behind the units and support the overlap of cage width.
We have 90% decided to do a full second floor so they have their penthouse back, just assessing the practically of cleaning and working out how many door grids to order.
New washing machine copes with the fleeces much better and I'm taking full advantage of being able to get things delivered now.. piggy parcels etc...
 
The boys have discovered the top part of their hammocks by using the new cuddle cups as springboards!
In other news, I found the scales. Sir George has lost a tiny bit and is 1265 while Master Boris is chunking up and is now 1198.
I had an exotic vet recommendation and when I phoned to register them the receptionist said they love seeing guinea pigs. I think I heard Sir George squeaking earlier so I suspect a visit will be soon.
 
Dear Mischievous Master Boris and Dignified Sir George

No pea flakes for 9 days!?! what is the world coming to? What is your Slave thinking of? Starving you of one of life's essentials is disgraceful! You have been through so much in the last couple of weeks. You've been made to leave your home, put in your carrier, bunged unceremoniously in the car, been made to stay in your carrier for hours and hours and when you finally got to your new home, you've been deprived of pea flakes. Does your Slave not think you've been through enough? Uprooting you, making you live in a strange place and then withdrawing the only thing that makes life worth living. She really should hang her head in shame (again).

The Committee of the GPU had an emergency meeting this morning to discuss this outrageous behaviour and have decided that your Slave's name be engraved on the Cup of Disgrace for all to see and this has now been awarded to your Slave. It needs to be made clear that this IS NOT a cup of honour, it is given when a very serious offence has occurred.

Yours shocked at your treatment

Sorry, Miss Bramble, but Minerva disagrees with you that pea flakes make life worth living; she tried them once and doesn't much care for them at all.

Gaia, on the other paw, eats them up like a slot machine gobbles coins.

Miss Bramble says that's why you @Minnou are not the current possessor of the Cup of Disgrace.

Gaia: "We all know that cup really belongs to my Slave - she's a disgrace in general!"

Dear Gaia

If you report prove that your Slave is a "disgrace in general", her name will be put forward to the Committee of the GPU and if it's deemed necessary her name engraved on the Cup of Disgrace and she will be awarded it.

Dear Miss Bramble,
For future reference upon further discourse could you please remember to address me first as befits my status of top pig.
I have missed the pea flakes and have had to put up with inferior treats but I'm wondering if this has contributed to my new svelte figure due to having lost 25-30g over the past two weeks. The Mummy Slave did obey me and put some on the piggy parcels order, she even paid for express delivery so expected it to be here by now.
I can assure you that my boisterous companion and I will ensure that we get some as soon as they arrive by any means necessary.
The journey here wasn't too bad as the slaves stopped twice to check on us and give us a drink and something yummy. We like being here as our new home is higher up and we get to see what is being taken out of the fridge. We get to see Auntie all the time now, we liked Auntie when we met her in our old house, she gives really good chin rubs.
Yours with respect and kisses,
Dignified Sir George X

Mine only get peaflakes once a week, sometimes once a fortnight, I expect the GPU would have something yo say about that too! But after all a treat is "something out of the ordinary that gives great pleasure". Not something you routinely stuff your face with🤣

FAO GPU Committee,
I formally request the right to an appeal against the decision to award me The Cup of Disgrace.
I have been advised that 9 days without pea flakes is acceptable as other treats were supplied.
I have attached evidence to support this appeal and would appreciate you taking the time to consider reviewing the decision.
Yours beseechingly,
The Mummy Slave

Dear Mummy Slave

You may request the right of appeal but Dignified Sir George and Mysterious Master Boris should have all their needs and wants attended to at all times. As the lack of pea flakes was clearly a dereliction of duty, this serious matter went to the GPU Committee and they found you guilty. The mitigating factors (you moved house) were also put forward by our Shop Steward Miss Bramble, but the Committee felt that there was no excuse to leave the pea flakes behind.

The decision of the Committee of the GPU is final and you will be the possessor of the Cup of Disgrace until another offender comes along and then it will be awarded to them.

Auntie came to visit today. She had a full on arm licking session from Master Boris. He licks everyone though as he's a bit of a tart. Dignified Sir George however is far more discerning, even The Daddy Slave rarely feels the touch of his tongue so imagine Aunties delight when she was graciously bestowed with a kiss from him.
P.S.
To the GPU Committee and Miss Bramble,
Normal pea flake service has been resumed.
 
Dear Dignified Sir George and Mysterious Master Boris

I am so pleased that awarding your Slave the Cup of Disgrace has made her resume normal pea flake service. I shall report back to the Committee of the GPU.
