I’m not a fan of Sundays.

Firstly breakfast is always late. It doesn’t matter how hard I chew the bars to give them the hint. They just don’t get out of bed at our breakfast time.

Then when they do appear they ask daft questions like, “I wonder what you weigh today” and insist on plonking me without any sort of decorum into a mixing bowl to weigh me. I mean, I’m starving - isn’t that evidence enough?

Then the big slave does her “checks”. I don’t like checks. She pokes around my bits - shameful behaviour. She ignores my protests so I have to give her a good hard nip.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, today she called in the one who can be persuaded to feed us twice and asked him to “help”. We all know what that means so we all fled to separate corners of the cage. But one by one they caught us and gave us a “pedicure”. I screamed blue murder - I’ve got very beautiful black nails and I took every possible precaution to keep them intact. She’s so thick she didn’t realise that me pulling my feet away was her signal to stop. So I gave her my best Sunday bite to make her stop.

Then, this afternoon to make this Sunday even worse, she turned up with a bag of coriander and a Santa hat. And announced that she was going to “take our portraits”. What an idiot! As if coriander would keep me still for a “sitting”.

Well, I don’t think she got my best side. I don’t think she got any side. I screamed blue murder, gave her several scratches and a juicy nip. And trashed her Santa hat.

I’m really not a fan of Sundays. Roll on Monday when she’s back into her working routine.
 
Aw Evie, we can totally sympathise. Breakfast is always late here on a Saturday AND a Sunday as the slaves have something called a ‘lie in’ it is totally unacceptable behaviour.

We get plonked in the mixing bowl and poked and prodded on a Friday as this is clean out day where slave removes all of our poos and soiled bedding. Fair enough, it only takes us 5 minutes to make our cage how we like it again but that’s not the point!

We hope you have got over your ordeal.

Love Edward, Elizabeth, Ella and Esme x
 
Hello Evie

We are so sorry to hear about your ordeal.
It sounds very similar to what happens to us on a Sunday also, Breakfast was late and we are also put in a bowl and weighed on a Sunday. She left our nails alone this time though but she did insist on picking us both up, giving us a cuddle and making us look out of the shed window …. I mean, why….she may like to look out the window but why on Earth would we….we can’t see much beyond our own feet so I don’t get why she bothered! Stupid human.

Love Dex and Pops
 
Dear Evie,
Sorry to hear you have not enjoyed Sunday.
We spent the morning wheeking at various intervals, and popping our heads up to see what was going on…. finally the message was recieved, and we were treated to a tiny bit of dandelion root. Something else would have been good too, but no just more hay came our way.
We get weighed today too, but after tea, we don’t enjoy how the slaves comment on our weights after, its very rude.
We hope you have a good night, and a peaceful Monday.

Dear Evie
We didn't enjoy the start of our Sunday either. Slave got out The Circus Tent. We are just starting to learn that The Circus Tent means we are going in the run. We have only been in our new home for 3 weeks and we are still very wary of our new Slave. She is very nice to us and give us lots of nice food and load of yummy hay but we are still very jumpy as we are not sure whether we can trust her yet. Anyway, out came The Circus Tent and we decided that we didn't like it. So Slave took it out of our hutch and put some Coriander in it then we decided that we did like it. Lexi was the first piggy to be brave enough to go it it to get the yummy Coriander. With that, Slave tipped it up gently (whoa, help what's happening?!?) and put it in the bowl on the scales (Lexi had put on 32g), told Lexi she was a good girl and then took The Circus Tent off the scales and let Lexi go and have fun in the run. Then it was Thea's turn. Well Thea had already seen what had happened to Lexi and so took a bit longer (and more Coriander) to be persuaded in The Circus Tent. Thea was successfully weighed (plus 64g) and let loose in the run. We have decided we don't like The Circus Tent any more and gave our Slave lots of fun when it was time to go back in the hutch tonight. We are starting to let her know that in no uncertain terms do we want to be caught now that we are beginning to feel settled. So that was our Sunday. We hope we have a better start to tomorrow. We may have to let our upstairs neighbour (The Ever Beautiful Betsy, Shop Steward) know of this treatment so she can write to the GPU.

Dear Evie,
What shameful behaviour from your slave.
We think that screaming and biting is a very appropriate response.
We are feeling deprived today too. When our slave came home at luncht, before we could even start asking nicely for our midday snack, daddy slave said we had been fed!
This is not good. Slaves shouldn’t talk to each other about feeding us.
Evie you have our deepest sympathy for your suffer today.
Love from Priscilla, Phoebe and Micah
 
Dear Evie - Pack your bags girl and get over here! Our slave did not have ANY lie ins this weekend now her kid has a job and she has to taxi her there... breakfast was way early ( well 9.05am to be precise ).... love from Daisy & Brownie xx
 
Dear Evie
We are so sorry to hear about your horrible ordeal. How dare your slave poke and prod! Saturdays are our least favourite days. First, she forces us into a carrier together and then takes us out one by one to "weigh us". Then she has the nerve to comment on our bodies. She says "Oh Daisy aren't you my fat girl" or "Poppet you little thing"! How dare she!
Sundays start off bad as we are herded into the carrier again, but then we get floor time (which is fun). But the slave then rips apart our cage and ruins our decorating 😡
Love Daisy, Oscar and Poppet
 
Poor Evie,
humans really are thoughtless and disrespectful.

Our slave is just as bad about Saturdays and Sundays, but we usually have more free roaming time on the weekend, so that's not so bad.
But weighing - pfff, who needs this?
We should get together to weigh our slaves, put their weight down in charts and comment on any change the way, they do with our weight.

Let's hope that the new week brings more delightful moments filled with lot's of treats.
Bonny xx
 
Dear fellow long suffering piggies.
I am grateful to you for your support. I think we should ask @Betsy to get her girls to write to the GPU on our behalf, as weekends (and in particular Sundays) are such a torment to us. I’m sorry to hear so many of us are treated so rudely with the weighing scales and comments. I wonder what right they feel,they have to discuss our weight so freely.
I’m back off to bite the bars for a bit, now. The bedtime Timothy Hay delivery is overdue.
Love Evie x
 
The Ever Beautiful Betsy has heard of the plight of all you piggies out there and your bad weekends so is sending this letter to the GPU on your behalf. Please send pawprints and poops as payment.

Dear GPU

It has come to my attention that many of my fellow forum piggies get a very bad start to the weekend. They are poked, prodded and put in a mixing bowl on top of the kitchen scales to be weighed then their weight is then noted in a book and discussed. Then to make matters worse, breakfast arrives late! late and even later! The very cheek of it. Breakfast should be served on time, every time or even earlier and as for discussing our weight well...

We would like to petition against such weekend rudeness. The weekend is meant for chilling out and relaxing like most days and not for poking, prodding and weighing!

Yours in the hope of a nice start to the day tomorrow.

The Ever Beautiful Betsy
Shop Steward
 
Hi evie, we can totally sympathise with hating Sundays! Our big human likes to prod and poke us then too! Two of us have perfected the nope no pedicure today bites while the other two just wiggle so much that nail clippings become impossible 😂 She's also been talking about santa hats and Christmas photos! Luckily for us she can't find the Christmas blanket anywhere so we have escaped so far! Long live lost blankets!
Wheeks - nugget, marshmallow, mal and caramel!

What an excellent idea... maybe we can work together on hiding the blanket and the mini Santa hat....

We hope you have better success than us! She's only found the blanket.... Gulp 🤦‍♀️🙄 it's only a matter of time until we're harassed with santa hats now 😳😳 these pesky hoomans and their Christmas memories 😑
 
Dear Friends,
You think you got problems. Just wait until your hoomans do this thing called re-tired! You'd think re-tired would mean they sleep most of the day and keep quiet if they are that tired. No, they hang about the house disturbing us all the time there's no peace. Do we get extra treats because they are at our beck and call all day? No, all we get is "Stop biting those bars it's not time for food yet, go eat your hay". As spokes pig for my friends I think this is very uncalled for, what are they doing in that kitchen if not getting our food. As for going in the ice cream tub for weigh day, we don't get a regular day now, she forgets, it's supposed to be Thursday but can end up being Wednesday, 'cause she's busy tomorrow, or Friday 'cause she forgot yesterday. We boars don't know when to brace ourselves for the inspection of our parts that should be private until the very last minute!
With kind regards and dire warnings, Red.

Oh Red! I am going to shout “brace! Brace! Brace!” when next inspection time comes around. But now it’s time to start bar biting. As somewhere in the civilised world it’s piggy teatime. Love Evie x
 
Dear Evie,

I am so sorry to hear of your ongoing slave issues.
I understand where you are coming from, as I also have to deal with a very difficult slave.

Firstly be kind to yourself Evie - this is in no way your fault.
It is clear you are trying your hardest, but sometimes there is only so much you can do.
The nipping is a good tactic, but some slaves are just slow to respond.
Others would give up on them, so good on you for toughing it out.

I wish you strength and patience and many more sharp nips going forwards.

Love and support (from afar of course),
Ruby xx
