JANEY'S NEW BABY!

Janey and Pandora proudly announce the newest addition to their family. She is a brown and white Abyssinian sow, adopted from the Montgomery County Humane Society, and is anywhere from four to ten months old. Her name is Perpetua after Bridget Jones’ boss and after St. Perpetua who was also a nursing mother. Unfortunately for her, her shelter name was “Beet,” her two children, whom I believe will be adopted by someone else soon, are “Beet I” and “Beet II.”

Here is her picture, she is much cuter up close:

PIGSTRAVAGANZA!

The date for the Metropolitan Guinea Pig Rescue annual pignic has been set!

Date: Sunday, October 5, 2008

Time of the Event: 12:00 pm until 4:00 pm

Location: Reisterstown Regional Park Pavilion 401 Mitchell Drive, Reisterstown

http://www.baltimorecountymd.gov/Agencies/recreation/countyparks/regionalparks/reisterstown.html

This is a fun-filled day for all--including your piggies. For those of you newbies out there, our Fall PIGSTRAVAGANZA! Pignic is held under a pavilion, and next to a grassy area. There is plenty of room for piggie playpens. And, no need to worry about the grass, as it's not treated. Those of you who have piggies sensitive to clover, though, may want to be careful where you place your pen or bring a "pignic blanket" to place under your pen.

This event will include: - A Bake Sale with yummy goodies, and maybe even cookies for your piggies! - Our MGPR t-shirt will be availabe for purchase, for both members and non-members. - Various educational materials such as books and health journals will be available for purchase. - Supplies such as Oxbow products, and Carefresh bedding will be available for purchase to members and non-members at a rate cheaper than most retail stores. - We will also hold TWO raffles this year! - And of course, our quirky but fun piggy awards will be handed out to those irresistable little piggies in attendance.
