Senior Guinea Pig
I have a stairgate (child safety gate) on my door, for the protection of the pigs and to keep the twins out. It is not easy to open, but Olivia (my 3 year old sister) has figured it out.
Yesterday, I found her stood in the pigs cage, filling up the food bowls with dry food. I gave her a stern telling off about letting herself into my room and getting in the piggie cages.
This afternoon, she let herself in and apparently decided to clean the piggies out. Having moved two large toys (bunny-size bendy logs, and a plastic step/stool) before deciding against pulling the fleece up, she had got the bottle of disinfectant out and chosen to clean...Dexter!
Stupid pig that he is, he let her spray him (his back was soaked), and then he let her use a kitchen towel to try and dry him off. And he was just sat eating hay, letting her do that to him! I don't know who I'm more annoyed with!
So Dexie has had an unexpected bath today (real one I mean, as well as Olivia's cleaning attempts). I'm going to have to rearrange my room somehow so I can close my door, seeing that the stairgate alone is not enough to keep her out. The sooner I get a tall set of shelves, the better. Then I can keep everything well out of little peoples reach.
