SmartPig: Printer Error Code Poof

Poof: SmartPig or LolPig?

Poof was trying to set up one of those all-in-one printer/scanner/fax machines earlier. However, she got a little sidetracked investigating all the different buttons. As she reported back, the humans will make noises of protest if you nibble on them. Whoever would have guessed that they are chewable? Needless to say, she ended up leaving the job to the humans.

Anyways, whee also wanted to bring your attention to her first pigture. Many people have heard of LolCats. Well, whee personally think that we piggies are just as cute as (if not more so) than cats, so why shouldn't we also be represented? That's why we came up with LolPigs, featuring guinea pigs!

So piggy friends and fans, what do you think? Do you enjoy chewing rubber buttons like Poof and Belka do? Does the world need LolPigs? Or should whee leave this to the cats?

SmartPig: World Domination

Working on world domination, starting with this uncooperative laptop

Hello, its Coppy here with the third installment of the SmartPig series! Since all us piggies have such busy lives, I thought you might be interested in what I do every day. Here is a glimpse into my daily agenda. Of course, this is not all of the activities that I am involved in (a piggy's got to have some secrets!) but a short excerpt.


Coppy's Daily Agenda
Short term goals
- chomp on veggies
- frolic in the grass
- consume hay (both timothy and orchard)
- sample fresh vegetable selection
- wheek imperiously at slaves until more veggies served (room/pigloo service preferred)
- Take over slaves laptop

Long term goals
- Take over world
- Secure endless, predator free acres of lush grass for all of pigkind
- Control the tv remote

"Why, is that a pigture of me?"

SmartPig: Truffle be tweeting!

Hi, Truffle here again! Two posts in a row, it must be my lucky month - then again, since my birthday month (July) is right around the corner, that must be why! As you may know, whee piggies here at the Cali Cavy Collective are active on Twitter (give us a wheek @CaliCollective). Most of the time, Coppy is tweeting on the slaves laptop, but I managed to steal one of their phones today for tweeting purposes. Oddly enough, they call it a "blackberry", but I think they are wrong, because it does not taste like a blackberry at all. I sampled a blackberry myself once before, so I should know. Especially because I did not like it very much. Anyways, here are some pigtures of me having fun!

Me and the alleged blackberry

"No, Belka, you may NOT have a turn!"

"whEEK!!! It beeped at me!"

I am a Truffle on Twitter.

"Is that a plastic bag rustling in the distance?!"

SmartPig: Forget smartphone... it's all about SmartPig!

SmartPig is busy shopping online

Hi everyone, its Truffle here! So our Editor-in-chief Coppy has decided to start a new series called SmartPig! The term "SmartPig" is a play on the word smartphone. The idea is that this series would be about us piggies exploring a variety of tech toys, like cell phones, computers, scanners, programs and more, sometimes with amusing results. For example, like the time Belka was playing with a scanner and decided to scan her underside. But that is a story for another day.

Our first entry features Coppy and her favorite toy, the humans laptop. This is the device that she uses to blog, tweet, browse piggy forums, look at pigtures, and shop online. She likes to hop on when the slaves leave and  monopolize it. Most of the time, it is Coppy who is doing the tweeting on Twitter (@CaliCollective), but sometimes she lets us use it too, such as when Peaches talks to her boyfriend Waffles, or when Belka leads discussions about pellets. Whee all just have to be careful not to leave any stray poops behind before the slaves return!
