[Gpdd] [GPDD] Behavior - Deaf piggie?

[Susi Eastin]

If the piggie didn't react in some way when you 
  clapped your hands behind him, he is probably
  deaf. But then, I've had piggies simply ignore
  such things, and he may have limited hearing,
  too. But, like I said about Spirit, our sweet
  little blind piggie, he simply didn't see with
  his eyes. They have an excellent sense of
  smell that is much more reliable than either
  hearing or sight, plus they feel vibrations.
  Whenever I would pick him up, I would take
  extra care to hold him against my chest, to
  feel safe plus he could feel me talking to him.
  It made a big difference.(the reason for the
  'past tense' here - Spirit, and his seeing-eye
  pig, Stormy, moved to a new home a couple
  months ago, where they rule supreme)
  Is your deaf piggie albino, by any means?
  Spirit is, as is "Wonder" our other 'special'
  boy. They have a certain gene that causes
  this. 
  Very sweet piggies.
