What made you happy today?

Had a rubbish couple of days with seizures (still causing trouble :crazy:) but these two have been making me all tearful being best buds! Attached at the moment, Lolo’s really been missing him happy I think! (But enjoying his portions of food as has gained 70g in the last 5 weeks! 😳🐷:)) )

Obviously still have to bicker a bit though, that’s them! (Despite having two bowls of exactly the same thing!)

And a teeny bit of Emeraid sustain in the cage for Luigi, only recovery food he’s touched without me sticking a syringe in his mouth! 🥳:D
And madam was very poorly yesterday and on her nebuliser but much better today! (Got to get pics of my 🦈 beauty while I can, she doesn’t do this posing lark much!)

I had a vape mod delivered on Friday that broke itself (seriously) at about 1am yesterday morning? Was in contact with the store yesterday, they had me send over a video with the fault, and asked if I wanted a refund or replacement. I chose a replacement which they sent off without me having to return the faulty one first which is great by itself, but guess who just got a second Royal Mail delivery this afternoon? I'm so happy right now lol, I didn't even get the "parcel sent" email til 19.45 last night.

Plus the replacement works, which is always a bonus :))

(although I could really use some sleep right now, lol)
 
Isn’t it nice when your very dozy brain suddenly realises after living in your flat 17 years (this month!) and keeping piggies 12+ years that the huge tree at the other end of garden is a birch tree!? :D :))

Happy piggies! :D:wub: (Who absolutely love dried birch leaves and now feel the same about fresh!) :)
 
After today being, well, today, I went up at 11pm to grab the goblin Snugglesafes. Walked in, said hi, paused, and Camowen looked at me briefly before running to the cage wall next to me, begging at the bars with that hopeful happy "food? Food? FOOD!" chatter. Sometimes I wonder if they just put up with me, but it's hard to argue with loyalty like that, even if it is just "ooh food" loyalty :wub:

😁Same here! The boys have never been more excited when we get home... We've been out foraging for them the last couple weeks and they've learnt that "yummy food is coming" now! What reeeeeeeally made me happy today is we found a wild patch near-ish my workplace where timothy grows. The boys are looking so satisfied 🤣

There's something to be said about an animal being happy to see you, no matter the circumstances. You know you've done the right thing by your animals when they're excited to see you.
 
We’ve been away for a few days and were greeted home by the 4 piggies all standing up on their hind legs wheeking at us. It did coincide with their teatime but I’d like to think it was more of a “welcome home, we have missed you”!

My husband washed my car for me :D

My husband washes my car for me every time it needs washing. Mainly cos he says I don't wash it in the right order.  He says it's windows first (while the water's clean) then you work your way from the roof down. I just wash the car anyone old how!
 
Someone broke into the side entrance to the garden and stole my partner's bikes yesterday. We were devastated as one was new to him in January and a brilliant bike. He rides everyday, the traffic in Bristol makes driving difficult and often impossible. I warned the immediate neighbours as apparently someone is going round breaking into gardens and stealing expensive garden furniture at the moment. What made us very happy was the response from the neighbours, within a hour of discovering his bikes were gone we had the offer of 4 no longer required by the owners bikes to choose from. Such a reminder that there are still more lovely people than bad.

I'm so sorry your partners bikes were stolen - scumbag burglars. :rant::cen: Were they marked at all, any hope of them being located and returned to you? Lovely that some of your neighbours offered bikes to you to replace them 👍👏👏
 
I'm happy that my piggies are happy to be home. I went to collect them today and they are all still happy and healthy and Meg has put on weight where last time she lost a significant amount. When I put them back in the hutch they were exploring straight away, then ate some hay, I went out and got them grass and Lexi was up at the bars begging for it.

Not very likely at all unfortunately that he would get them back, despite the good one being marked . The police don't want to know about stolen bikes round here (or stolen anything!). Last week within 5 miles of this house they were dealing with 2 knife fights, a machete attack and a murder, don't think bikes come very high on the list. A bike was stolen in Bristol every 3 minutes in January.
 
@piggieminder I’m sorry your property was stolen. It’s lovely that your neighbours offered replacements to you.

Is it possible to fashion some kind of chain to secure the bike. And maybe take the wheel off? Sorry again.

I’m so sorry that your bikes were stolen, but what a lovely response from your neighbours. The world could do with more kindness.

I wanted to use the sad emoji too. Sorry about the theft, but how lovely and kind of others to offer you other bikes.

The bikes were in the garden locked up behind a very high locked gate. We didn't expect anyone to be able to get in. My partner has a very heavy expensive bike lock for when he's out and about but they don't stop the determined thieves who carry small angle grinders around with them. This is why we never buy new bikes and only replace old ones when they become dangerous due to cracked frames. The really annoying or maybe scary thing was I was there in the garden weeding. I heard them but thought my partner had come home, it was when I went to see why he hadn't appeared to say hello that I walked round the side of the house and found the gate open. We can and are putting in more security, heavier/bigger gates and more locks on sheds but in the end we can never beat the determined thief.

So sorry! How frustrating. 😡 😢
 
Bear with me for this one...
Last night I unbunged George! Not generally considered a treat but this time last week I had a minor abdominal op with a general anesthetic and haven't been able to do much of anything for a while. George loves piggy Daddy who brings him grass every day and has kept those cages spotless - but Daddy is squeamish (like, dry-heaving squeamish) and George was ever so worried and made such sad and frightened noises each evening that I was in tears and by the 3rd evening had to leave my sick bed and offer a helping hand. George became much calmer just because I was there so that's how we've done it but now although I still can't catch him (bloody glucosamine - he runs like a hare!) he can be plopped into my lap for his usual teeth check, metacam and un-paction. And he's fine with it. Because it turns out he knows who I am and he loves me 💕

Very happy to say I was wrong! The good bike is back. To cut a long story short our neighbour saw it in someone's garden. He is acquainted with the man who lives there and after checking the description with us he went to see him. The bike was no longer in view but he described it to him and said it had gone missing. Turns out this man's teenage children had it and he returned it to us within 30 minutes of the chat saying he found it at a house round the corner. The Dad's main concern was that the boys friends were thieving on their own doorstep! For friends read his sons. He has also 'kindly' said he will look out for the other bike.
 
Productive day writing a lecture today and bereaved Ollie pigwig seemed happy to have my company in his bedroom/my office for once! He usually hates me invading his room but today we hung out together and it was nice, cost me 3 hay top-ups, a lettuce leaf and an oxbox biscuit but I'm glad I could spend the day with my lonely silver boy and cheer him up a bit :)
