Hello Mischievous Master Boris! Will you teach me your best tricks if I start a Diabolical Piggies group? Uncle Tofu is very boring and never causes mischief. I want to build on my troublemaking reputation that my slave says I’m earning. Here I am challenging Uncle Tofu to a chin-off even when I’m too small to take over to show how serious I am. Wheeks Edamame

Dear Edamame,
I would be delighted to be a role model for any youngsters wanting to learn the arts of being Mischievous but lovable. The first lesson is to perfect the innocent look, I think both you and Pino have already perfected this.
My boring companion Sir George is far too Dignified to join in with my shenanigans so partners in crime are very welcome.
Rumbles,
Mischievous Master Boris

Dear Eddy and Boris

What a brilliant idea to have a Diabolical Piggies Group. I approve and would like to become a Member - for observation purposes only you understand.

Your friend in a crisis

Eddie looked just gorgeous having his veggies tonight you’d never know he has a penchant for mischief

Tofu is off the antibiotics now and seems to be doing well. He gave me lots of licks when his meds didn’t include baytril this evening

 

[JaseChase]

Eddie’s attitude really comes out when there’s something he wants. Today it was Tofu’s critical care






I caved and gave him some. Tofu did get some too!

 

[Mrs Tiggy Winkle]

Eddie you are a very pretty guinea pig, lovely colours, and that one white front paw! But I think you should be a little bit nicer to your Uncle Tofu. Even teens or pre-teens should respect their elders. I also think Tofu was correct in saying: No Stripey Nose Club for you. Because those little white bits between your ears and on your chin - they don't seem to be joining, sadly enough. I know you're in a new club which your Uncle Tofu is too polite and calm to join, so maybe the Stripey Nose Club no longer seems so desirable?

I listened to you and decided to give Tofu a break tonight. He is a good uncle as much as he doesn’t let me enact my true mischief as often as I’d like. He lets me steal all the veggies from his mouth that I want! So I decided to let him have first go at our hay cookies today (and I goaded him into bar biting so we got the cookies even faster than slave planned I should tell on him to the boring Dignified club)



I will let Tofu keep his stripey nose club. I am enjoying being part of the non-stripey nose club and the diabolical piggies club, which are MUCH more interesting anyway

Wheeks and zoomies, Edamame

 

[flowerfairy]

I would have caved and given the critical care as well.

 

[Mrs Tiggy Winkle]

Dear Edamame,

That's wonderful to hear. What a good, generous boy you are!
Very clever of you too to get your uncle Tofu to do the bar-biting work for you. If you tell on him to the Dignified Club, he might not do the bar-biting for you anymore, so that's maybe something to consider?

Very good point! Ed will have to restrain himself (he doesn’t really want to get Tofu in trouble anyway, he’s secretly very fond of him - the number of times he sidles up for a joint nap )

 

[JaseChase]

Ed has grown so much! Same piggie, same bag, two months later

Back in May:




This morning (July):

 

[Mrs Tiggy Winkle]

Hello Edamame,

What a big boy you are! I laughed out loud with joy at seeing the difference between May and July. In the first July pigture it looks to me as if you have a white on your nose. That's much more exclusive than a stripey nose!

Have a nice day!

 

[Viennese Furbabies]

What are you feeding him?

Aw it is a bit like a butterfly! He says thank you very much

What are you feeding him?

It’s all the critical care he steals from Tofu

 

[JaseChase]

Got a bit of a poorly Tofu again. Off to the vets on Thursday to figure out what’s going on

He and Eddie are sharing very nicely, but I do have to take Tofu out of the cage to make sure he gets enough syringe feed

 

[Merab]

Poor Tofu.
Hope the vet can get to the bottom of whatever is going on for him.

 

[Viennese Furbabies]

Poor Tofu!
I hope the trip to the vet goes well.

 

[weepweeps]

Good luck at the vets Tofu

 

[Roselina]

I hope Tofu gets on ok at the Vets and they can find out what’s going on
He’s a lovely piggy

 

[JaseChase]

Tofu did well at the vets he’s on some Emeprid for a week to see if that helps clear things up

Eddie also won himself an exam because he did a BIG dramatic squeak on the way and I thought he might have injured himself. He didn’t, but the vet very much enjoyed giving him a cuddle!

Tofu is getting the hang of his syringe feed - though I still have to take him out of the cage so Ed doesn’t riot

 

[Merab]

Glad Tofu did well at the vet.
Hopefully the Emeprid will help

 

[Mrs Tiggy Winkle]

Best wishes to Tofu for further recovery!

Edamame, what a character! Did he enjoy the cuddle as much as the vet? Possibly not.

 

[Betsy]

Eddie can be clean up crew for Tofu!

 

[Roselina]

Ah lovely Tofu I hope the emeprid will help

 

[flowerfairy]

Oh what a beautiful photograph of Tofu in your arms. He really is a lovely looking boar.

Edamame tolerated the cuddle alright, but he was not quite as enthusiastic about it as the vet was

Oh what a beautiful photograph of Tofu in your arms. He really is a lovely looking boar.

Thank you he’s a sweetheart. You’d never know it now, but for the first year I had him he was so timid he’d barely come out into the open to take food. I treasure how relaxed he is these days

He’s holding his weight okay, and I do think he’s a little better on the Emeprid. Eddie is giving him lots of entertainment with zoomies and popcorns. How am I supposed to say no to them when they’re this cute

 

[Roselina]

Ah you can’t
I think the boys have read Thea’s ( the previous and excellent GPU rep) first edition of ‘How to be cute to get what you want’

 

[JaseChase]

No one tell Eddie, but the boys are off on a trip tomorrow so that he can visit the plum fairy

We've been planning to neuter him since we adopted him, for future bonding purposes - I don't fancy my chances bonding a teen boy, especially one with Eddie's attitude not that we'll need to worry about that for a while, I hope!

We're going to use the rescue vet as they're very experienced, which means the boys are both going back to the rescue for a week so they can manage all the post-op care. I am anxious (of course!) but the rescue lady is great with piggies. She knows Tofu's been under the weather and is going to keep an eye on his weight and continue with the syringe feeding

Tofu does seem to have perked up on the emeprid, he's eating more for himself, so I'm hopeful it was just a blip if he's still poorly when they come back, it'll be back to our vet for a scan

Eddie has no idea what's happening

 

[Mrs Tiggy Winkle]

Awww. Poor little Eddie! How could you betray his trust like that?
