[Gpdd] [behavior] chattering...

[Bob & Chris Robertson]

Hi all,

I love to hear that you too have piggies that "rule their universe".  Ha,
ha.  We just returned from a short trip to check on my elderly parents, and
we took our girls with us.  They hated (as could be predicted) the 3&1/2
hour car ride, even though they had food and a comfortable towel bed in
their carrier.  Coming home Cleo was puffed up with fur sticking straight
out - a sure sign she is not happy at all.  Now they are in their condo,
sleeping, but soon they will get up and seek their revenge on their slaves
who put them through such torment.
Cleo will raise her fur and strut around her sister when she wants to
reinforce who is the boss of the house.  She will also push her head in the
air if she wants to just lay on me, but not be petted.  Spookie is such a
sweet old gal that she will just purr, until you want to get up and walk
with her.  Then she will grab hold of what ever you are wearing with all
teeth, as if you are going to throw her to the floor (this old gal has never
been dropped to my knowledge).
I have observed that the problem with travel in the car is the vibration,
which I think wears on their nerves.  But, they always manage to forgive us
when the treats are to their liking!!!!
Have a great wheek!
Chris, Cleo and Spookie
