[Gpdd] Re: BEHAVIOR - jumping pigs

Ahhh yes, When Honeybear was about 9 weeks and 6 days pregnant, looking like 
a Boston Creme Pie with a cute face on the front, she jumped over a five inch 
board to prevent me from catching her. I was so astonished I just sat and 
listened to her cuss me out! Her daughter, Penny use to jump from my wife's chest 
to mine (I usually had Mom) which would have to be a good 10 to 12 inches. 
Mishka wasn't too good at it, but most tanks aren't. But in their younger day all 
the boys could popcorn a good six inches or more into the air. Little Miss 
Katie certainly does a good high popcorn, especially right after a baby carrot 
treat in the morning. 

Don't you just love watching them? ;-)
