Edgeworth, Guinea Pig

This morning I realized my snackordie.com site had been down since yesterday, which lead to a bit of panic of my part. I’d forgotten to renew my domain, which expired a few days ago. Now all is well.

This past weekend I moved the old computer system into the living room, which is the piggy domain. I hooked up a webcam and violà! Streaming PeegyCam!

Check out the UStream: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/peegies! You might see small, fat mammals or a pigloo being motored around. I’m planning on having it run while I’m at work so I can keep an eye on the little squeakers.

The piggy secret santa gifts came from the piggies Lily, Isabel, Luke, with some help from Janet. So many gifts for the piggies!

The candle house comes from Janet, and the lip glosses come from the piggies. Thank you piggies and Janet!

Flashbang Fatbottom and Benito were too excited about their secret santa to sit still for the photo shoot.

The piggies received their secret santa gifts today from the piggies Isabel, Lily, Luke. They had help with wrapping the presents from Janet, who sent me a gift too! I love the guinea pig wrapping paper. Flashbang, Edgeworth, abd Benito must’ve been very good piggies this year.

I fixed something! I put needled and thread to my torn Vibram FiveFingers and violà:

VFF Stitched

Not the prettiest piece of work, but it keeps the rocks out. Feet are as sensitive as hands and can feel those little peddles rolling around in the sole.

From a couple of weeks ago, my bull riding costume for Halloween:

Sarah (on the right) discovered the costume at Party City. I wasn’t going to dress up this year but that costume is so great.

Last but not least, a sampling of pleasing piggy pictures:

Upper left corner: Flashbang Fatbottom kept trying to move the pigloos into the carrot cube.

Benito loves his dandelion greens!

Flashbang barely fits in the tent. Later he tried chewing the lace around the enterance off.

The newest addition to the piggy arena, a very nice acorn house. This was handmade by Sewing 4 A Cause. It’s quite plushy and comfy. Benito was a little scared of it at first. Because it’s been warm here – mid 60s! – the piggies haven’t seemed too interested in going in the acorn house. For the moment it’s being mostly a chew toy for them.

Edgeworth! He is the winner of the Humane Society of Huron Valley pet costume contest. You can check out the other entries on the HSHV site. Second place is Miguel the Wizard, third place Paco the Fearless.

My second favorite picture (my favorite being my piggy, of course!), is the cat second from the bottom. He looks quite displeased. The last picture, Battle Cat, is a great idea and the He-Man is pretty cute, too.

Last night, after polishing off a pint of Ben & Jerry’s Half Baked frozen yogurt, I made little pirate hats out of water bottle caps, black felt, and stickers for the Halloween piggy photo shoot. The bottle cup was glued to a rectangular piece of  felt to create the hat. Once the glue had set, I cut out a pirate sticker and pressed it onto the front flap of felt.

The background is a bottom of a box covered with paper and stickers.

Edgeworth and Flashbang were both content to sit for their photo shoot. Benito is a squeak machine and kept running around, that little pirate!
