Our guinea pigs live in our living room, right next to the front window. As the weather is pretty nice this evening I left the window open while I did some housework.

Meanwhile a nearby neighbour, also inspired by the good weather, decided to mow their front lawn. Oblivious, I continued to clean the kitchen.

After untold minutes of piggie torture, smelling freshly cut grass and not being able to eat it, I went back into the living room and was met with the loudest, angriest wheeks I've heard yet from our Head Wheeker. The rage only escalated as, appallingly, not only had I left them to suffer but the freshly cut grass they could smell was not for them.

I am dutifully heading outside to rectify the issue now, of course :whistle:
 
Oh dear, I think you should be putting complaints in to your neighbour, do they not know it's pure torture for the piglets? :lol!:

I've been lenient on them as it's their first offence, but if it happens again I won't be able to let it slide lest the GPU decide to take action after all!
 
@poggle The One and Only Thea, Shop Steward, was so appalled at your lax attitude and obvious mistreatment of your piggies that she went to the GPU for advice (she also had to have her breakfast!).

Dear Poggle's Piggies

It has come to my attention that your Slave left you with the window open today with the smell of freshly mown grass wafting through it. Did she get you any grass immediately? She did not! What was she doing instead? Cleaning her Kitchen! I was completely outraged when I heard this! How come cleaning a Kitchen has priority over giving you the grass that you can smell but aren't allowed to have? Does your Slave not know that she should anticipate your every single want and need before you even realise that you need and want it? We get a delivery of yummy long lush freshly cut grass every morning after our breakfast pellets and we don't have to ask for it as it just arrives. I have asked the Committee at GPU Headquarters to send you their new guide "How to Train your Slave: Get the Results you Want Every Time" which I hope you will not only find informative but very useful in the future.

You did the correct thing to show your infuriation at her by letting the Head Wheeker angrily wheek at her with rage and indignation until you got the grass you deserved (although in my opinion it was only a VERY SMALL peace offering).

Yours hoping this dereliction of duty never happens again

Oh no, I was doing so well! Perhaps I'll need to be having those words with next door after all... can't let this happen again now I'm on The One and Only Thea's watchlist :yikes:
Naughty slave 😂
