One of my favourite things about guinea pigs is when they tell their stories. Long stories, short stories, sad stories, happy stories, whiny stories, told to each other or to themselves, but preferably to me as they sit on my shoulder and chat into my ear. Popchop tells very emotional, heartfelt stories about the troubles of the world, in a deep voice with a bunch of vocal fry that often sounds like an actual little pig grunting. Fuzzable is more reticent, but once you draw him out he tells endless happy stories in a soft little voice that doesn't seem to match his tough-guy persona.

Do your pigs tell stories? When do they like to talk? What do you imagine they're talking about?
 
My piggies gather together when I am not there and tell the origin stories passed down to them from their ancestors. They are stories of courage, of life in the Andes, of how to outwit condors and eagles, how to warn each other of danger, how to navigate by your whiskers in the darkness of crevices and caves and of how popcorning came to be the expression of joy.

Think our two like to share how annoying the other one has been! Especially in the morning. I think I get a tale of woe, about how they've had a terrrible night, without any midnight snacks.
Hamish is our chief chatterbox, and will tell you all sorts about his day while sat on you knee in an evening.

Love this.

When I had 3 sows they used to sit together and for all the world looked like ladies settled for a good gossip.
They we’re probably discussing the quality of the hay, fur care, food and the state of the world.
When he’s on my lap Micah chatters away telling me how tough it is being husboar to a diva like Priscilla.
 
I have 3 single boars whose cages are in a T shape so they can chat through the bars. They sit talking away to each other putting their little worlds to rights. I imagine them complaining one got a bit more food than the other, the humans are rubbish and are late with the next food instalment and why are they waiting so long for their cages to be cleaned. Red also patrols his borders grumbling, I think this is when the other's are late for a meeting, he likes to know where they are.
 
Leela likes to 'talk' to us during lap time. She is very expressive. I'm not sure what she's saying, but she seems to really have her heart in it! Now that she lives with much younger, way too boisterous Tomie, I pretend she is telling me all the annoying things that Tomie did today. LOL!
