We then went down to the riverside (why did I expect a river to be involved somewhere :)) rolleyes ). Check out the horses across the river - they were very big!:

Hi - they are really loud birds and quite cute to look at. I bet if you have some of these outside it would be hard to sleep through ..... but the sooner your mummy is up the quicker you get your morning noms :))

I feel quite honoured to be honest .... but shhh dont mention it :red

And.... by all accounts... I am going to have a fairly busy day ahead..... so watch this space.... cameras are being charged no doubt ....

Christofur, how do I get you to come to my house? I'm sure you'd have a lovely time in York :) x
 
Hi Sapphire Dreams, if you'd like to join in your more than welcome too. All you need to do is make a small donation to Glynneath guinea pig rescue and pm me your address I'll add you to my adventures. It maybe a while till I meet you through I have a lot of forum members to visit!

Today, I had an early start. My new friend personally collected me this morning and we headed for the tube I was informed I had a very busy day ahead of me.

Me in the tube station, unfortunately I never did get to ride the tube because the human's where asked to leave because dogs aren't allowed on the tube :(.

We headed straight to the bus, I got my very own seat.

Preparing for today's protest, my new friend told me we where protesting against innocent doggies being put to sleep. Of course I was more than happy to help my 4 legged friends.

I saw a lady holding your sign for you on the DDA Watch FB page, but I didn't see you...maybe it was you that took the photo? :))
 
Hi,

Yeah, that doggie was very big, I was a little scared at first, especially as I'm so small. But she really was lovely despite her obvious butch-ness.

Last night I was so sleepy after everything we did so I saved some of yesterdays event for today.

After the doggie protest I went with my hooman friends on a piggy bank rescue. I was SO excited, I have heard about the piggy bank, but I didnt know it did such wonderful things. I reassured two mini pigs that they were going to a lovely new home and that I would look after them in the car.

When we arrived I got to have a little cuddle with them:

I really liked the guinea pig rescue, the people were so lovely and being piggy people they were thrilled to hear all about my adventures and the wonderful piggies Ive met along the way.

This was definetely the best part of Saturday, it so lovely to make a difference to other piggies.

So anyway today was full of more fun. My hooman was teaching me all about being green, I told them I eat loads of greens but they didnt seem to get it mallethead. Anyway they took me to a wind farm, with over 70km of pathed walking routes, here I am at the start with the map. I have to admit I was a little overwhelmed, I'm only little and I cant walk big big distances.

The hooman decided to go on some circuit, I got to see loads of windmills, they really were very very impressive, you can see lot of them in the background.

Then when I got to 3miles, I was informed we were walking 12miles. 12 miles- no way hosey, I asked my four legged friends if I could hitch a ride, of course not being as dangerous as everyone makes out, my doggie friend happily obliged.

However we came across a little problem and the road was un-usable.

However I was so hungry for noms by this point I decided to leg it off in front.

My hooman was not pleased by this, apparently I'm too loved to give all the forum members such concern for my safety.

I finally understood what the hooman meant when I saw this sign:

.

Apparently big great mechanical objects are very dangerous. I came across one, but it wasn't on so I was allowed to get my picture with it because I promised never to run off again.

.

I am very very sleepy now, I've had such a long day. Catch you all later and dont worry, I wont every stray far from my hooman friends EVER again.
 
Looks like you are having great fun Christofur!

You are a very lucky piggy getting to meet such a famous piggy, go on lots of adventures and staying with such a lovely hooman!
 
This has to be one of my favourite Cristofur pics, I love the proud doggie taking his prized passenger for a ride.

Hey everyone,
Ive been so busy I've had no time to post. This weekend I had a particularly good time. I went to this amazing place called a "VET". I have heard of vets and so when I found out I was going to a Cavvy Savvy vet I was so excited. I got to learn loads and if anything ever happens to me I know I will be in safe hands.
I learnt about how we piggies get some special gas which makes us dream of running through lush green meadows. Of course I had to try it on for size, just to make sure it fits, if the worst was too happen.

Then I went to look at the recovery rooms, apparently they are heated, tbh I didnt really want to come out lying on the cosy vet bed was sooooo lovely and snuggly.

.
But then I thought I might need to actually need to go to the recovery ward, I saw these huge big reptile things. I was soo scraed, I dont think my hoooman friends got that I'm a prey animal and theres lots of horror stories floating about that us piggies get rescued from being given away as snake food.

But it got even worse, when I tried to run away this strange looking dog tried to eat me.

I paniced at first but apparently these "boney" creatures arent alive. I was a bit traumatised so my hooman friends took me to see some fellow piggies.
100_6742.jpg

These are the babies I rescued a few weekends ago. I cant believe how much they have grown already! I almost feel like a proud parent!
I also got to meet some other friends

Despite how big they were, they said there's always room for a little un and let me hope on board. After all the excitment I was exhausted and needed to hitch a ride:

I can honestly say I learnt so much this weekend, it may have been fearful but it was totally worth it!
 
Hehehehe I love just love Christofurs adventures :)) x)
 
Oh Christofur, I'm loving your adventures and it's nice to see you haven't went missing or been eaten by they huge snakes! x
