[Gpdd] BEHAVIOR: Floor time adventures

[Dukejan1 at aol.com]

In light of all the sad stories that we've had recently, someone asked that  
we post some amusing stories about our piggies.  Here's one that just  
happened this past week.
 
Lily and Isabel we're running around the family room floor.  I use  playpen 
fencing to rope off areas of the room where they shouldn't be and it's  been 
effective up to this point.  I was clearing the kitchen table  after dinner and 
heard what sounded like a very intense conversation between  Isabel and Lily 
(who long ago earned the title of "Pioneer Pig" because she  loves to explore). 
 I looked up and saw that Lily had managed to find a  weak link in the fence 
(which has since been remedied) and was saying, "C'mon  Izzy, let's explore" 
while Isabel was still behind the fence saying "But mommy  slave says we 
shouldn't go behind the fence."  And Lily responding, "Don't  worry, I'll bet we'll 
still get a veggie treat before bedtime!"  It was  hysterical to watch because 
you could tell the Lily was interested  in having her friend explore with 
her, while Isabel, refusing to step  beyond the barrier, was concerned that Lily 
would get into trouble.  This  went on for some minutes before I told Lily to 
come out, which happened without  much coaxing, but the look on her face said 
"You're no fun, mom".....Then Isabel  ran to make sure Lily was O.K. and they 
did their little dance.....
 
And yes, they both got a bit of green pepper.....
