Secret Santa 2012 - presents received

Not open for further replies.
Just had a little cry looking through the pictures of all the piggies opening presents. They are all so deserving, such loving and forgiving animals.

Very sad I missed out on taking part, haven't been on the forum as much over the last couple months.
 
Just want to say a huge thank you for Gwinnie and Hopes gifts :) I had lots more photos of our piggies on Christmas day but I managed to delete them all somehow off the camera :( So now I have nothing and are very upset :(
 
The piggies at Windwhistle Warren finally got to open their pressies today. They have been so patient bless them. Poor Alice who runs the rescue is very ill in bed so didn't get to see the lovely presents that the piggies received. So i'm going to send her an email with the pictures in! Get well soon Alice!

Ok first up was Garth, a 5 year old chunky boar who is very sweet. He got a lovely letter from his Secret Santa

THANKYOU SECRET SANTA from Garth xx
 
Next up was Mullet and Bullet's turn... They were part of the Piggy Bank Himi rescue which happened a few months ago. They both have had their ears chewed off but I think they're extremely handsome!
Loving looking at their amazing presents!

THANKYOU SECRET SANTA love from Mullet and Bullet xx
p.s hope you don't mind but M & B didn't understand how to use their lovely snuggle sack so they have lent it to one of the other himis from the rescue who has 2 tiny babies to look after so they can snuggle in it.

Lucky Mullet and Bullet were also sent two massive boxes of American Timothy Hay, because they're good boys they agreed to share it with all the other piggies currently in the rescue...

Thanks again, there's currently 30 odd piggies here at the moment and so this has made them all popcorn with joy x)
 
Next up were Gus and Charlie... these boys have been in the rescue for ages and they're absolutely lovely friendly boys who are massive! :-)
Charlie marvelling at how many lovely presents they were sent!

Lovely photos. I think the hay rack needs to be on the outside of the cage, so the piggie can pull the hay through the bars!:)
 
We had a parcel for Shimmy and Stomp

Here are the photo's

Thank you Secret Santa they're going to use their wigwam out in the run once the weather sorts it's self out. But the hays have gone down a treat in the mean time.
 
Thanks everyone for taking time to put these photo's up. It's so nice to see the piggies and their presents.
 
Yes thanks for taking the time to do the photos they are much appreciated..xx
 
Still waiting for my piggies. I know they got something but as they were sent more than one parcel directly from suppliers I have no way of knowing if all their pressies reached them. But in the meantime I am really enjoying seeing all these other piggies with their pressies so thank you rescues for taking the time to post these photos.
 
Thank You from Mr Darcy

Mr Darcy has had a special delivery all for him! :)

3 wonderful snuggly cuddly colourful beds! And a Christmas tree shaped treat :)

He says a very BIG thank you to his secret Santa xoxo

Mr Darcy would like to share his beds one day but first he has to find a new home with a girl or two....
We took the decision to have Mr Darcy neutered to give him a better chance of finding a home in the new year as he really does need some friends to keep him company to cheer him up.

Thank you very much for these lovely gifts, we wish you a wonderful New Year, and fingers crossed someone will offer Mr Darcy his forever pampered home in 2013.
 
Secret Santa came to Crawley Guinea Pig Rescue

Santa must of had a very big sleigh to carry all of the presents for the piggies here. Thank you to Sharon who spent an afternoon over here taking the photos and an evening of uploading them to photobucket.

This photo shows some of the presents, yes some! We only managed to get one of the 5 bags of meadow hay and 1 of the 3 bags of readigrass in!

Presents.jpg


So Houston and Shadow started the unwrapping. Houston came from RSPCA Harnsworth (sp?) in London, he was a single piggie, well looked after and was on holiday with a neighbour, the owner went on holiday and never came back. He was taken to RSPCA and they neutered him, a dog rescue whom I am known to called me to ask if I could take him. He developed abcesses on his op site and has been with me ever since, I believe he is quite an old boy. He is now married and in love with shadow an older lady who had lost her sister. The owners didn't want to continue the cycle of piggies so she came here.

(I must admit the play mats with the paw marks are lovely, of course they dont want to sit on them, they want to get underneath and wear them!)
Just a couple of videos, excuse me shouting out in the background, I didn't realise Sharon was videoing, I was making lunch and talking to the dog.






I do have presents for Mrs Pootle and Mrs Bumpkin and Speedie too.......
 
Secret Santa came to Crawley Guinea Pig Rescue continued

Mrs Pootle and Mrs Bumpkin were totally spoilt too.

Can you spot them in their pressies! (I did tell them they would have to share them!)

and a few videos!to follow
 
Video one....I love the way Mrs Pootle (brown piggie) looks round when I say 'these go in your ear' as I am unwrapping the cotton buds. Also there is some laughter at the end as I didn't realise Sharon was videoing, I thought she was just taking photos! hence me saying, are you ready for the next photo!



This is Speedie a resident boar who at the time of photos and presents didnt have a mate after losing Squeak I haven't been able to bond him. But he now has an older boar friend.



Please excuse the commentary in the background as I was making lunch!

Thank you so much for the pressies for the guinea pigs, it lifts my spirit to see how lucky they are. Also for my gifts too, soap and chocolates are lovely. Everything will come in handy. The chinchillas have enjoyed some of the readigrass and a brown paper bag, tubes have been used in bonding. Vetsect will be used, infact everything will be used. Thank you secret santa from me x
 
I love this thread, it makes me cry. I am going to keep my secret santa pigs name and address and send him a valentine card!
 
Hahahaha.... the video of Speedie is priceless. He's chatting away and exploring the presents, then you say 'jacket potato... hummus' and then tell the dog he's a good boy for bringing you rubbish in the kitchen! Love it.

Thanks for taking the time to put the pics up. The piggies certainly were lucky. I love secret santa! xx
 
Still no piccies for me to drool over of my SS piggies :(
Know we're all busy etc., I've just finished working straight shifts through from Boxing Day to cover sickness/absence and need cheering up...please, just a little sneaky pic would make my day and a lovely way to start my year... :))
 
Oh I hope mine doesn't get there too late :red I had to wait for someone to drive me to the post office that wasn't flooded!

Looking forward to pictures though

Loving looking through these, there are so many gorgeous piggies ^)
 
Love the vids, I could watch piggles eating forever and ever. So lovely to see them enjoying them, true appreciation.
