A Post full of Adventures by Moira

Today a post by Moira (Sullivan's cousin from Canada)

Hi, Sullivan and everyone else!
I have been very busy, so that's why I haven't posted for a while. But today I bring you pictures and stories of my adventures on our latest holiday.

This is a picture I spotted during our holiday and that I just had to share with you. It reminds me of family gatherings with all the McPigs. They even look a bit like us, so maybe these pigs are distant relatives, who knows.

On our holiday we saw lots of beautiful things.
Here I am in Epcot in front of a lovely Japanese building.

Princess and me also visited the Japanese garden.
It was beautiful and tranquil.



I also had quite an adventure during our holiday:

It all started out like fun.
We met the animals from Madagascar and asked them to pose with us. Alex the lion seemed quite interested in me and at first I was quite flattered, until....

He ate me!
Aaaah! Help!

It took a warden to convince him to spit me out again.
Egh, I was all covered in lion saliva and I had a terrible scare!

But then Skipper took charge and promised to hold me and keep me safe from Alex. *swoon* If only he wasn't so tall.

So in the end I survived and we finally got our picture taken together with the Madagascar crew. I'm never going near a lion again!

After this scary incident we visited Hogsmeade!

Hogsmeade luckily didn't have any lions.
It did have this snowman.

And owl post!

I thought about sending an owl to say Hi to my family in the Netherlands, but they looked like they might be interested in eating me as well, so I stayed far away from them to avoid becoming a meal once more.

Princess and me did go on a cool ride though.
Much better than being eaten.

We met a nice trainconductor and had a chat with him.

And he posed with us for a picture without trying to eat me!

That's it for now!
I had a great time, met scary and nice animals and people and saw lots of beautiul and cool things.

Mail from Canada

Today there was a package from my cousin Moira and my owner's friend Marie all the way from Canada!

I had quite a scare when after removing a chocolate bar from the package suddenly a whole bunch of animals popped out of the package.

But they turned out to be very friendly and very glad to be able to get out of the package after such a long journey. And they even had a piggy flashlight for me!

And there was even more cool stuff inside the package. A beautiful calendar with pictures of pigs in it and lip balm for my owner and chocolate.

And even Saskatoon Berry Tea and Chocolate!
I'm looking forward to tasting those.

There were also a couple of scary items in the package.

This Frankensteinesque little guy seems like the perfect guy to take Voodoo Bride on a Valentine date, don't you think?

And last but not least:
The Pig Book, a book full of awesome pictures of pigs!

I think this might be my favourite picture, but I will read this book often to see all of the beautiful pictures in it.

Thanks so much Marie, Moira and family!
This is an awesome Valentine's gift.

Candy and Mail!

It was a tiring day at work today, but my owner got us some candy so I could take a candy break from time to time.

And when I got home there was mail for me!

It came from Canada so at first I thought it might be from Moira, but it turned out to be from Snappy. It's a collage from relatives that live in Canada.

I really like this picture, but the whole card is cool! Thanks Snappy, I love it.
Hmmmm.... I might try to make a collage of the McPigs living here for Snappy sometime.

Greetings from Canada - a post by Cousin Moira

Hi Sullivan and everybody else! It's been some time since I let you all know how I'm doing here in Canada, so here's a bit of an update.

Here I am helping to make cabbage rolls - got the rice and bacon mixture all ready to go

Stuffing the cabbage leaves with the mixture

Little bundles of yummy I say!!



I helped put the tree up and then got to chat with this pretty angel

Can you see the snow coming down?? It is so much colder here than I am used to, but I do have the benefit of lots of snow!

I had a picnic one day with some friends and Princess



A package arrived in the mail - it said it was for my owner but she let me open it.
It turned out to be from Sullivan's owner.

Look at all the goodies!

Some dutch inspired items - how neat!

Yummmmm - some sprinkles for my toast!!
I have missed these as here in Canada its not the tradition to use the sprinkles that way and so therefore I usually only use PB, Jam or Cheez Whiz on my toast - honey sometimes too.

A package! - A post from Canada by Moira

I got a package in the mail!!!
Well, actually my housemate did but I am sure it has something inside for me!

And I was right!! Meet my very own Voodoo Doll!!
She is adorable, but we haven't found out her name yet...we will though!

Look at all the goodies that were inside!
Thank you so much Carien, Eric, Sullivan and Coco! Miss you all!!

Greetings from Saskatchewan - a post by Moira

Hello Sullivan and followers of Sullivan's blog! Here's another update from me, Moira, about my life with Marie and her family in Canada.

Here we are in Regina, capital of Saskatchewan.
Princess and I are pictured here in front of Wascana Lake.

Another of Princess and I

This is me in front of the Legislative Building and Gardens.

Princess and I in a car made completely of LEGO!!

In my own car getting ready to race!

I WON!!

A dinosaur exhibit at the Science Center.
This is just a hint of what's to come though!!

In the teeth of some creature that lived thousands and thousands of years ago.
I would be nothing but a bit of food stuck between!

Huge statue and it was weird! He was all head with a little body and huge hands....

On our way home, it was a long drive....

but I can see why Marie loves Saskatchewan so much! It is a very pretty landscape!

Had to show you this picture of a cloud.
It looked like a hippo to me with its mouth open!
