[Gpdd] BEHAVIOR: my chirping boy and other tales

[schumann at bellsouth.net]

Yesterday, I decided to let the piggies out on the floor in the middle of the day for some extra exercise.  I was sitting on the floor organizing my bargains (A local store closing a location so I bought lots of inexpensive Christmas presents.)

I made an obstacle course of the bags (making sure everything was piggie proofed) and threw little bits of greens around the room to encourage them to move around.  It was so funny.  Leela was hot on the trail of everything I threw out.  Tribble waited until she heard Leela crunching and then came over and took it from her.  Zathras stayed under the sofa most of the time.  He could not be bothered.  All he needs is a little remove control and he'll be quite the man!

When I put them out for their evening floor time, Zathras ran right under the sofa and started chirping!!  He must have chirped for a full minute!  I was on the phone with my mom and she heard it, too.  Tribble and Leela stood perfectly still the whole time he was chirping.  I've heard it before and thought it was Leela but it's my boy!!

Thoughts and prayers to all humans and pigs who are in distress.
