    Oh they got their little human. Neil Was born by section on Saturday night. Healthy little fella, 7lbs 12oz (a small turkey as they say in the snapper)

    My poor boys though haven't really got a look in from me since I got home as I'm spending most of my time in bed :o


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,801 ✭✭✭Dubl07


    Congratulations, Whispered! All your boys will be buddies in no time.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,552 ✭✭✭Layinghen

    Thanks everyone. He's a cutie. :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,003 ✭✭✭SillyMangoX


    Congrats whispered! :D

    Sooo today is the 21st... Meaning at midnight tonight it'll be the 22nd...

    ...I wonder who is going to be first off the bat tonight with presents... :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 731 ✭✭✭ene


    I can't open mine till late on the 23rd as i am in the uk!

    KD11 won't be opening hers till the 26th as she has to work over Christmas and is only flying home Stephens day morning.

    Cant wait to see all the lucky pets opening them tomorrow though!


  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 2,281 Mod ✭✭✭✭angeldaisy


    I'd put money on SillyMangoX being the first!!!!!

    Won't be me anyway!


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,003 ✭✭✭SillyMangoX


    I've brought the presents down under the tree and they keep diving at Dudes box. Something must smell good in there :D

    Anyone else as excited as I am? Can't wait to see all the pics later :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,479 ✭✭✭Kamili


    Echo will get his but Harry and Diaz will have to wait till I get up to them tomorrow afternoon.

    Can't wait!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,770 ✭✭✭Jen Pigs Fly


    My beardies can get theirs tomorrow as their heat and lights will be off by midnight and the horse will get hers tomorrow because she's in her stable :D

    Can't wait to see what was got for them, they wouldn't be the easiest thing to get a present for!

    D'uh! :)
    It took me a minute to realise you mean bearded dragons, not bearded collies... I was think beardies (dog) shouldn't be that hard to buy for :D

    It's funny how different meanings are attached to the same name, I've been keeping reptiles for a long time so to me beardies will always be bearded Dragons!
    Although my two are really called Rocksteady and Bebop but it's easier just to say the Beardies!

    Although I do love bearded collies too :D

    Didn't get a chance to have Poll open her present tonight and won't be home again now until Wednesday so I'll be postponing the fun until then.

    To everyone else, enjoy tomorrow!

    It's now midnight, the start of the 22nd, so I officially declare secret Santa 2014 open!!! Go rip up those pressies, have fun with the wrapping paper and make sure to take lots of pictures of all the excitement as it unfolds!!! :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,761 ✭✭✭Knine


    Gizmo the Guinea Pig got to open his presents a bit before the clock strikes midnight as he goes to bed early.

    As you can see from the photos he loves his gifts. Unfortunately Gizmo's arse is rather fat from over indulgence in his favourites things in life - carrots. He got rather firmly wedged in his new tunnel. For 20 minutes I pondered if I would need to involve the Dublin Fire Brigade or maybe I could coax him out :pac:, alas it would not to be and he was rather firmly stuck. I decided the only course of action was to perform a C Section. A few minutes later Gizmo was rescued minus some hair, I had aged 20 years but he was back ripping open his presents. He was also very fond of eating the wrapping paper!

    Thanks a million to his very kind SS.

    The fish were rather excited to get their very useful presents. Their stick on tablet treats they got provided an hour of entertainment for us humans :D Here is a photo of them all trying to get in on the action.

    Thank you very much to their SS

    Being a typical cat her favourite part was something I'm sure wasn't intended to be a present but became her new bed for the evening - the envelope :pac:

    Thank you very much to her SS, she was a very contented kitty, distracted her from being a grump for a while :D

    A scene of absolute carnage here this morning!! I'll post pics / video when I get to my laptop! Safe to say, the turkey was disembowled within seconds!! Tug of war game then commenced!

    Thanks to Tara and Elly's secret santa for the pressies and cards... I must try harder next year:$


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,479 ✭✭✭Kamili


    Echo is going nuts, Rudolf appeared out of his presents and he is currently not letting him out of his sight. Santa better not need his reindeer back!

    Pictures are a bit crap cos he I so black... I'll post more when I can.

    Could these be embedded if possible?
