[Gpdd] MISC: Stairs and late Roll call

[merle.jaffe at thomson.com]

While I read all the time, I don't post often. So, for roll-call please
add one handsome boar, Lucky, from Philadelphia PA and a variety of
slaves to do his house keeping, food shopping, etc.
Regarding the stair-climbing piggy film, I had a boar (previous to Lucky
and now departed) who used to regularly climb carpeted stairs -- when he
reached the top he would jump in my lap to get his treats.
Unfortunately, guinea pigs are the opposite of a slinky -- going down is
very hard because of the (ahem) highly weighted bottom. He stopped
climbing  as he got older, but it was quite a treat to watch him when he
was younger.
Lucky has his own set of tricks -- he jumps up on a low shelf in his
"play room" and knocks off all his toys. He is quite proud of this and
likes to make sure you are watching and admiring his skill!
