[Gpdd] Behavior: Princess Snowflake is one THIRSTY pig!

Hello Slaves,
Usually, when I get home from work, the Princess
has drank about 4 ounces of water. I have two 8 oz.
water bottles available for her, which I figured was
plenty of water for one pig. Well, yesterday, I was
gone longer than usual cuz I had my tap dancin'
class after work. So, when I got home, I properly
greeted the girl and checked her water. I had to
double-take cuz I thought I was imagining seeing
an Empty bottle. But, no, it was not my imagination.

That pig had drank the entire 8 ounces of water!
Unbelievable. And I know what ya'll are thinking,
cuz I thought the same thing--maybe the bottle
leaked. But, I checked the area right under the
bottle and it was dry. PS always pee's in the same
spot (for the most part) and that area was really
wet. Thank Goodness she had the extra bottle.

I'm just so used to Brownie Bear not drinking
enough water. It's strange to have a piggie
actually drink an excessive amount of water. I'm
guessing that she was wondering why I wasn't
home yet, cuz it got dark. But, I left a light on for
her. Maybe she got nervous and thought I wasn't
coming home or something and started drinking
out of concern. (?) Who knows?

So, I had to make the executive decision to bring
out the big bottle. So, now, she has one 16-ounce
water bottle and one 8-ounce bottle.

Oh, and the Princess has new foods to add to her
favorite list: Endive, Apples, and Red leaf lettuce.
I'm so used to having finicky pigs, I'm almost beside
myself with joy.

And last, I think Miss Snowflake is going to a fussy,
demanding pig. She's already showing signs.
Well, I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Afterall,
she is a Princess. :-)

     Love 'n Wheeeeeeeeeeps,
         Leah...Slave to Princess Snowflake :-)
