Well Done! I'm so glad that so many pigs were mad happy this year!

just spotted some pics of mine, eeek. Well doe to everyone, 220 gifts is just amazing. Just seen on the news about City Link, hope none of the parcels are stuck within their delivery network. Awful news for their staff to be hearing on christmas day.

Great about the tag line Lauren, love it. Thanks again for all your hard work x

adding a pic of Tommen and Podrick with their gifts. Their foster mum says a huge thank you as was lovely to have so many things and some for the humans too. Apologies for late adding of photos but her husband was rushed to hospital a couple of days before Christmas, thankfully he is home and on the mend now

Oh my... this is the best thread EVER. I hope I can help next year!
Thank you so so much @PottyForPiggies for your hard work!

I just want to thank everyone who has had patience with me post-Christmas re: Secret Santa. I am now just 7 weeks away from my wedding day and things are getting a little crazy! I will post an update tomorrow to let you know what I know. L x

Eeeekkkk - how exciting! Don't worry about updating us - you have far more important things to think about. Hope you will post some wedding pics! X

This year we have had the misfortune to hear of 31 Secret Santa piggies who have passed away over the course of the season. It is a huge amount of loss for everyone and the rescue owners are no doubt still grieving for the passing of piggies that were in their care.
Rescue owners are some of the best people in the world, because they see so much sadness and distress day in and day out but carry on going for the animals still in their care.
I am so proud of our Secret Santa community, as you have smiled, laughed, fallen in love and grieved with us every time we have seen pictures and lost a piggie. So, in tribute to all those piggies, we will be putting together a tribute thread in the Rainbow Bridge section, containing pictures of all the piggies who have gone to the Rainbow Bridge since the start of SS. This will help our community grieve together and celebrate their lives, plus the wonderful work the rescues do every single day. x

 

[PottyForPiggies]

The numbers are climbing... Now 34. Around 10% of all the piggies this year

 

[piggyfan]

This really is such heartbreaking news.

 

[PottyForPiggies]

It is devastating. I think I've told every Santa now that has lost a piggie Ages ranging from 2 weeks to 8 years old, with all manner of health conditions

 

[Piggly]

@PottyForPiggies but on the other paw... some of us gave more prezzies to extra additions who made their Christmas appearance! Many were lost, but some were born safely

 

[PottyForPiggies]

That is very true @Piggly - there are lots of beautiful piggies in the world, some of whom come into the world to get a lovely little gift

Thank you Lauren for all your hard work. I have been looking at all those happy piggies! It's nice to know that they all felt loved at christmas! We will certainly be on board again for christmas 2015 x
