I apologise for this taking so long to get going. As a team we have had an incredibly difficult year; 2 of our team had extensive medical problems and I have lost 2 of my 3 piggies in the past week, so I've not been particularly focused.
So far we've had a few presents logged in the world, I will pop back later with some pictures and stories (I'm in the middle of creating my 156th matching form in 2 1/2 days!)

Thanks for the update Lauren @PottyForPiggies. So sorry for your sudden losses. It's heartbreaking. Big hugs to you xx
Let's hope the arrival of secret Santa presents can lift your spirits. You do an amazing job co-ordinating all of this.
 
Bernard - Palace Piggie Rescue, UK

Bernard has been very spoilt this year! He is in poor health and the rescue does not expect him to still be here by Christmas. However, his presents arrived just in time to make a boy very happy!

Timmy, male
Barnsley Animal Rescue Charity, UK

He particularly liked the tunnels which he started eating! The critical care, vet bed and syringes are much appreciated as we have a poorly piggy at the moment needing intensive care.

Ian, male
Palace Piggie Rescue, UK

Ian is more than happy to have his share of the gifts, he may not be happy living with Dermot any more but they do encourage each other through the bars, they have been discussing who gets the Amazon voucher...we'll have to share it with the others we think.

Our precious May was thrilled and delighted to receive such lovely gifts, she often doesn't know what is happening but is always happy to eat, thank you so much for her gifts, we are really blessed by the generosity of the Santas.

Ice, male
Palace Piggie Rescue, UK

Our gorgeous old boy Ice was thrilled to receive his gifts from his Secret Santa, he may not be able to see but there is nothing wrong with his sense of smell and he could certainly sniff out a gift! Thank you so much for his gifts.

Hallie, female (in place of Newman, male, passed away)
Palace Piggie Rescue, UK

Today we received a gift for Newman, sadly Newman is no longer with us so we asked Hallie if she would like the gift in his place, she was delighted and then found it difficult to decide...chocolate or healthy....rest assured she chose healthy

:-) A massive thank you for your kindness and generosity.

Rollo is going to be wheeking from excitement when he unwraps his Secret Santa gifts! We will be doing a big unwrapping, most likely after Christmas when we can unwrap all the nominees all at once! Shhhh don't tell the piggys...they can't read a calendar ;)

Reggie, male
Austin Guinea Pig Rescue, USA

Austin Guinea Pig Rescue received some wonderful gifts for Reggie. He was a little overwhelmed by all the goodies he didn't know where to start!

Emma, female (without Blaze, female, passed away)
Guinea Pig Haven Rescue Shelter, AUS

We received Emma and Blazes Secret Santa today.... a bit bitter sweet... Emma lost her partner Blaze not long ago, and we're having issues with finding a suitable female friend for Emma as she isn't to fond of any other pig but Blaze. We are hope Ng that the desexed boat we have with her currently will suffice, but time will only tell.
Emma loves her gifts, especially the sack, she loves cuddling up in them

The treats worked a treat, she had finished the one in the photos tonight lol.
Thank you so much Santa, and Merry Christmas

@PottyForPiggies Has anybody got any secret Santa Photos to put on here? Or are they all on Facebook/ other websites
I'm getting withdrawal symptoms from piggy present overload this year :(
 
The courier I used said they had delivered &had a signature- so I'm hopeful.
There's nothing on their rescue website piccy wise, just wondered if there was was another thread/website with prezzies received on?

I too searched here and on the rescue Facebook page but nothing. I know one present got delivered but the other items haven't recorded a delivery. It would be nice to know though.

@pig in the city i couldn't find the list you mentioned though? is it because i am only looking in as a guest on a public page &I'm not logged in with an account? or is it because i'm a dappy mare with no idea what to do with facebook?:doh:
 
I couldn't find it either (and I'm logged in), just the one from last year!

I can't find it either! If you message Lauren on that page she should tell you about your rescue. I find l can't access as much on the page from my phone, but via a laptop you can see all the visitors posts, that's where l have put photos of my SS presents. Its confusing l admit

I'll try to pm on here later.
I was on my laptop but I had a great big banner across the screen I had to keep "not now"ing as I'm not logged in on a Facebook account.
I did find about a dozen photos-
I seen a few comments down the right side of the screen of yours/rescue but no photo's of them, think it may just be me being dim? :(

Thankyou tho- I appreciate your help :nod:
 
Oh ok! I saw the pictures sent by the people who run the rescues, but I thought you meant a list like the one from the last year! Sorry! And thank you! :nod:

@GPTV If you click on what you said (comments on the right side), you can see the pictures sent by other people (aka rescues)

Yeah! I thought there was a list too but l couldn't find it, glad that you have found the visitor posts, did you find your SS piggy?
 
Well, thanks to Amazon I knew when it was delivered so as I was waiting on FB to see the pic, I see it the same day it was posted. I'm a stalker :))
 
Hi everyone, thanks for your patience. We tally the visitors posts, emails and Facebook messages with our spreadsheet, and mark off anything received. I have been taking a little break (just so I can have a little time with my husband as we only got 1 day of Christmas) but I'm back on it tomorrow. Its parents evening coming up at work and I've never had one before, so I'm trying to get organised. You can aways PM me or email [email protected] and I'll pick it up for you ♡
