Secret Santa Paws!

What’s that?! Surprise secret Santa Paws?! Well who wouldn’t want to find me in their stocking?! π
When she made no move to do the normal hooman thing of going to the toilet I examined her movements more closely and realised she was dancing. Strange though it was I squeaked at her to explain herself. She picked me up (I had been running around the living room enjoying floor time) and began to explain.
All over the world there are animals who do not have and will not have a safe, loving home this Pigmass. Whee cannot help all of them or take all of them in (no matter how much whee might want to!) but whee can do a little something for a few guinea pigs in a UK rescue thanks to a wonderful idea run by some incredibly kind and generous individuals on a guinea pig forum whee adore. Secret Santa.
The idea is this: you send your name and say you would like to be paired up with a piggy (unfortunately it is all closed up now but whee managed to enter in time!) then you wait for them to pair you up! Today Mummy recieved the message saying which piggies whee were paired with.
They do include this:
“Please note: secret santas are anononmous! so don’t tell anyone!Β ”
Sorry guys but whee cannot reveal our piggies! Suffice to say whee did a little research and they are bootiful!
Mummy says she will shop for them tomorrow and she cannot wait. Whee have reminded her not to forget us! I did point out that the piggies are gorgeous . . . And I am gorgeous . . . And who wouldn’t want to unwrap me on Pigmass morning but she loves me to much to give me away, even for a good cause. *sigh* Sorry Ladies (and/or Gentlepigs!), I tried!
Now you are out of time to join in this secret santa but whee do have a little plan to help spread Pigmass cheer.
Why not find out where your local shelter is and see what they need. Blankets, towels, shampoos and toys are almosts always welcome. Then get your hooman to do a little Pigmass shopping and package up whatever you can get. After that you can write a little note or use this one:
There is ice on the ground,
And a chill in the air,
But luckily for you,
We have warmth to spare.
It may not be much,
But I hope it brightens up your day,
And makes lives better this Christmas,
That’s all I hope and I pray.
Tuck that in and send it on it’s way. You may not recieve any thanks. In fact if you do it properly and don’t tell anyfurry then you won’t but the feeling of warm fuzzies and Pigmass cheer will make you feel ten paws tall!
So why not try it. Presents can be big or small, money or packages, whatever you can give. Make a pet’s Pigmass!

Oh, what a wonderful thing your humommy is doing!! And my Motor Mommy is planning to donate supplies to our animal shelter for Christmas this year!
Purrs, Sundae
That is great. Shelters, rescues and sanctuarys need all the help they can get building up to the time when so many are abandoned.
Pixel piggy kisses to your Mummy!

That is a lovely idea. Mom will be on board with this. She will also bring some of my old sweaters and jackets and toys. Yay! …….Wait. What? I hope Santa will replace them. Then we all win.
Love and licks,
Cupcake
Just think of all the little doggies who will have a happier Pigmass and then you won’t feel so bad! π

Our favorite is a local no-kill shelter. He flips what he can several times a year. When we needed a replacement for Kenzie, what did They do? They travelled to get a dog in need out of a kill shelter. Go figure and go rescue!
Luckily whee don’t have many kill shelters here in the UK but there are still some which makes Mummy sad.
Don’t buy from shops or breed, rescue an animal in need!

We think that’s a wonderful thing to do and we always send donations to a local shelter. Way to go!
Oink oink,
Katie and Coccolino the mini pig
Good on you! It is great that you help these animals and Pigmass is an impawtant time of year as so many will be abandoned at this time.
