[Gpdd] Misc - Wishing all you piggie lovers a merry christmas!

[Nicola Atkins]

Hi all,

I know I've been absent for a while but we have been SO busy over the last 
few wheeks that I've barely had time to catch my breath! We have only just 
come back from visiting my family - and for the first time we left Harvey 
with my partners' mum and dad. I was a bit dubious as they are pretty old 
and not in the best of health, and it would be a week they would be looking 
after him for, which, for me, is a long time to be apart from my baby. But 
we thought we'd give them a try....and all seemed to be fine, Harvey is his 
normal violent self! I did notice that when we picked him up, his cage had 
the most peculiar smell, sort of like really, really strong urine, but 
weirder. His temporary owners said they wanted to clean him out, and they 
were meant to have done it only two days before we picked him up, so surely 
he shouldn't have smelled that bad? The funny thing is, he has NEVER smelt 
like that with me. Does anyone have any ideas why that happened? If they 
have done something wrong with him there is NO WAY that I'm putting him at 
risk again - I didn't really want him to go there in the first place, but my 
partner insisted.

Anyway, I'm a little behind with all the digest news I'm afraid, as I've 
been away for a week, and when I came back, my mailbox was crammed with 
unread GPDD's. I'm slowly trying to catch up on the reading - not easy when 
you're so busy and have a nasty cold (oh, how lovely - a cold for 
Chrstmas!). It seems there has been a lot going on, especially the 
DISGUSTING incident with the lad tossing the piggie out of the window at 
university. Why are some people so callous? Don't they realise that piggies 
have feelings and suffer pain too, just like we do? It breaks my heart to 
think of such cruelty. I seriously hope that the lad in question is 
seriously reprimanded for this.

So, on a lighter note, Harvey and I would like to wish you all A VERY MERRY 
CHRISTMAS and a very HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope all the little piggies are snug 
in their warm cages with their presents and stockings, because if I know 
what all of the GPDD readers are like, then there will be some very spoilt 
piggies about this Xmas!

Have a wonderful festive season all, and I look forward to reading the GPDD 
in 2005!

All the best and warm wheeks from,
Harvey (The Boss).

And best wishes from,
His stressed-out slave! :-)
