Secret Santa Presents

[Lisajazz]

Lisa we dispatched for Fatboy on behalf of your secret Santa person and the courier had tears of laughter running down his face after seeing the label. He thought it was a nickname for a mate, when I said "Nope it's a gorgeous rescue Guinea Pig", he thought it was really sweet but couldn't stop laughing at how it was actually addressed to the pig Am sure he thinks I've lost the plot with all the Secret Santas we've sent out from here with the animals names on

Hee hee I had to laugh when it all arrived too, it's hilarious. |)

Thank you to Maun Honeybunny's Secret Santa, the present arrived this morning. As it is now so near to Christmas day we are going to leave it to open then.

All of us at Honeybunnies hope that all members of TGPF, their families and various pets all have a lovely Christmas.

I have just received French and Saunders secret santa.

I have to appologise for not being able to spend much time on here and do the pics for them. I am having a very time of late and things have been very complicated so I am sorry. The ss pressies are so much appreciated and we are soooooooooo grateful so please don't think we're not. The presents we have received are all amazing and everyone has been so generous towards the piggies.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Lucy and Esther get a surprise

Well Mr Courier Man arrived a few minutes ago for my two oddball girls.

Lucy was perplexed when I told her the box was for her - Esther said not to worry about what it said on the box as her nose had told her it was worth opening.

Blimey! You're right Esther - this is brilliant!

Esther's nose soon realised there was more - get your hair out of your eyes Luce there's loads!

Nom Nom Nom

Lucy, the blonde peruvian, arrived with two 2 day old babies and already pregnant with three more - she had one of the worst cases of mites I've seen and had been bred back-to-back at a very young age. Once her babies were weaned Lucy proved to be extremely difficult to pair with adult females - she happily adopts baby girls but once they reach 3 months old she tires of them and rejects them too. Consequently Lucy stayed and has acted as surrogate mum to young girls that come into the rescue. She is happy in the company of Esther, a blind, deaf agouti that is also a lifelong resident. Esther came in at 6 weeks old with a very poor prognosis, she has defied everyone's expectations and is now 4 years old, as strong as an ox and very determined to be around for a lot longer.

Secret Santa you seem to have read my girls' minds as to their Christmas wishes - well done and many, many thanks for their wonderful surprise.

Oh my goodness, I am in love with Lucy, she is gorgeous! x) If she ever needs a home and changes her mind about boys, I have a handsome chap Leoniadas looking for a wifey!

Lucy got a parcel!

The Cavy Corner Guineas have point blank refused to go to sleep tonight! They know they only have to wait 3 more mealtimes ( 1 day) before they get to open the presents that Secret Santas have so kindly sent them. They have decided the time will pass a whole lot quicker if they just stay up all night eating!
And now.... lovely Lucy has received a parcel of her own too! It's SO exciting and very touching to discover that so many people care enough to do this.
I cant wait to watch and photograph them opening them ..... It's like having children!
Promise to post LOADS of photos here for you all to see.

Thank You

Thank You SO much

 

[Lisajazz]

a pressie arrived for Marigold & Matilda today to go with the beds I believe. Many many thanks.

Have a photo but so busy today, major clean o uts and my children are on the ceiling, so can't promise to post them just yet.

Thank you very much indeed - they have been thoroughly spoiled!

 

[Shellza]

Aww, its so nice seeing them all with their pressies. Mines going to have to wait until after Christmas as my flight got cancelled so I was delayed getting back to England. Can't wait to send them off now though.

Bernies parcel arrived this morning and being Bernie he just couldn't wait to open it...........................

Thankyou so very much for your kindness and generosity Bernies Santa xx>>> Bernie loves his gifts.

Teresa and Bernie xx

 

[Teresa J]

Cherrelle's present also arrived this morning and she was very eager to see what she'd been sent.

Cherrelle is a complete diva who loves having her photo taken so she was very happy to pose................

Thankyou santas

I would like to say a 'HUGE THANKYOU' to all the Santas.

You have all been amazingly generous. Each parcel received here has been opened with great excitement by the piggies and many tears from me. As Sophie says we do have to deal with some 'not so nice' people throughout the year and these acts of imense kindness help to restore our faith in human nature.

Thanks to all your kindness the piggies spending chistmas in rescue will all have a great onexx>>>

The piggies, bunnies and I would like to wish all the santas and indeed everyone on the forum a very merry christmas and a happy new year

Teresa and the furries x

 

[Wiebke]

I am very glad to know that my parcel is amongst the ones that have arrived in time for Christmas! I have been very worried when things suddenly went very topsy turvy!

A big thank you to all the rescue people who specially take out the time to come on here with pictures or just the news that the Santa parcel has come; you are busy enough right now with so many last minute piggies streaming into rescue and all the usual Christmas preparations! We all appreciate that very much!

Sorrell and her babies' special pressie

The postman made a special delivery this morning - he was very intriqued as to who or what a Sorrel was and what were it's babies like?


He was most surprised when these little cuties said hello.

The girls were sure it couldn't be for them - Are you sure it's ok for us to have them mummy? Oh yes, they're our names on the card.

Can I unwrap the blanket please, mum?

No I think I'll have the blanket if you don't mind.

Sorrell and her two girls would like to say thank you very much for everything, especially the carrot chew - they are demolishing it as I type.

Sorrell is a life long resident after a very dramatic arrival - her full story is on the rescue's blog. http://guinearescue.blogspot.com/p/lifelong-residents.html

This has been my first Christmas with TGPF and I can honestly say that I am overwhelmed by the kindness of everyone involved in the Secret Santa project. All the piggies at the rescue are benefitting from the gifts that have been sent - and so will many more that will be rescued in the coming months, thank you all from the bottom of my heart. xoxo

 

[Lisajazz]

2 more piggy parcels just arrived! I'm speechless

One for our sponsor pig and longest rescue resident Dickens and our longest resident pair Sam and Snoopy.

I want to echo the sentiments and sincere thanks posted on here it's truly wonderful ans heartwarming. Every secret santa needs a big huge thank you from the rescue pigs who will benefit from them.

Thank you

More photos to follow I promise!

[lindsay7]

We are so pleased our parcel arrived and the beautiful piggies are enjoying it I really love the secret santa idea. Merry christmas to all piggies and brilliant rescues and everyone involved x x x

 

[x-vic-x]

First up little Cleo, this piggy arrived in rescue when she was 1 day old, she is has a great character and is very confident and outgoing.

'What's this'

'It has my name on it'

'Can I eat it'

'Help!, get me down'

'There's lots of presents here'

'Thank you secret Santa.

Thank you so much to Cleo's secret santa, she is loves her tunnel and thank you for the syringes and cotton wool they will come in very useful.

 

[x-vic-x]

Alfie is currently with another fosterer, so unfortunately there will be no photos of him for a while, however as soon as I see his fosterer I will pass on his present and ask her to take some photos of him with his gifts.

Alfie's present

 

[x-vic-x]

I would like to say a massive thank you to Caspers secret santa, his present was great and his card made us all a little teary.

Casper is Cleo's brother, he is a comical little piggy, and once he realised his present contained food, there was no more posing or sitting nicely rolleyes.

His present all nicely laid out for him

A quick photo

before......

We did have to give in with the photo's after that point as we couldn't get him out of the bag!

and his lovely card..

Spoilt piggys you have there vic I think your SS had a wonderfull idea about putting TGPF on the parcel, i have had trouble figuring out where the parcels we have recieved have come from

However in the next few days hopefully all the SS that have sent us parcels will be happy to see our piggys enjoying their presents. Please be paitent with us, all our animals are here and not in foster care so we have loads to do, plus we have had the added hassle of rebuilding our car engine in this horried weather and a burst water pipe, which created a flood. Also with ofcourse more additions to the family. Hopefully your generious presents will stretch far enough for everyone to have a special christmas. (I know the few bits I have made wont stretch that far 8... ) As others have mention'd us rescues are so stretched for time we are extremly appriciative of everyones generousity and it does help to restore faith in human kind.

Merry Christmas to everyone and thier animals.

 

[x-vic-x]

and finally Connie, Connie is one of those special pigs that has such a big personality. She is confident, outgoing and a joy to have. (I will be sad to see her go).

'Is it really for me'

'yes it has my name on it'

'oh look piggy paper'

Thank you so much to Connie's secret santa, she will be sharing her treats tomorrow with the other foster piggies.

 

[BecklenGPRescue]

A big thank you to Amelias secret santa, her present turned up yesterday so will share photo's asap

 

[skrikopanik]

Merry Christmas!

 

[BellasMummy]

Merry Christmas to all the piggies in rescues today, i hope you are all enjoying your presents

Jingle and Bobble's Christmas Delight. Part 1 of Christmas at Cavy Corner

Jingle and Bobble were ther first lucky guineas to open their Secret Santa gifts today and they got SO excited. First of all they studied the box which was addressed to them.

When we opened it... it was packed FULL of brightly wrapped parcels
and there was a lovely card too - I think Winston and I were as excited as they were.

As you can see there were a whole host of gorgeous guinea goodies including water bottles, bowls, fleeces, a cozy, a brush, Hay and other scrummy things to eat too. They had a great time investigating everything.

Jingle and Bobble say "Gigantic Guinea Thanks to Our Secret Santa"
Love Jingle and Bobble xxxxxx

Moons Secret Santa. Christmas at Cavy Corner Part 2

Moon was delighted to open her Secret Santa Parcels on Christmas Day.

Inside the beautifully wrapped packages were a lovely soft fleece, ever usefull bin bags and a pack of tasty treats that smelled so yummy Winston said he was quite tempted to have a bite himself! ( we didnt let him of course)
Moon says "Thank You Very Much Dear Secret Santa xxxxx"

 

[Cavy Corner]

Secret Santa's. Christmas at Cavy Corner Part 3

The next 2 parcels were not addressed to anypig in particular so the CC guineas chose Marmalade and Marmaduke to receive them.
They are young brothers born here to one of the rescued pregnant Lymington Piggies.
Here is lively Marmalade with the delicious top quality Hay that was kindly sent by a special Secret Santa (and hand delivered by Holiday Hutches)

And this is brother Marmaduke who was gratefull to find this pot of Gorgeous Guineas Green Cream inside an envelope from yet another thoughtfull Secret Santa. Its so good for poorly guineas that it will be very usefull.

By the way he is holding on to it it looks like we might still need to teach this young piggie about sharing!
On behalf of the Cavy Corner Guineas Marmalade and Marmaduke say wheeek wheek wheeeeeeeeeeeeek (or in English...... ) Thank You Secret Santas.... We love you x

 

[Cavy Corner]

More Cavy Corner Secret Santa present pic's will be posted on Boxing day

Thank you Secret Santas

This was the guineas Christmas breakfast
