Hello everyone!
I am feeeling grumpy and cross, and wanted to share todays adventures with you.
Hamish and I were happily enjoying breakfast, When Hamish hurt himself, he made a brummmp noise and ran for cover, I joined him.
Mummy slave decided after 15 mins of us cowering she should see what was going on. Hamish had a little dot in his left eye, and refused to investigate any forage or our favourite hay.
By the time she left for work, we were still hiding. Sooo…. she called the VET!
When Mummy slave got home we had to get in the carrier and go to the VET. We got to wait inside but no slaves allowed!
We dont like the phones and strange people talking. The VET took us into another room without consulting Mummy slave, she put dye in Hamish’s eye she couldn‘t see anything so decided to check my eyes too. I am soooooo cross it wasn’t my appointment…. it was Hamish’s turn I was there as official paw holder.

Now I am home, and feeling slightly better, Daddy slave hand fed me veggies(Hamish too!).
I did just hear the hoomans saying that I have hay poke in my left eye, and I have to have eye drops for 5 days.
I am mean really, I will repeat It was Hamish’s appointment, how did I end up with medicine and he is fine?!
Thank you for reading, I feel better now I have shared my experience
From a disgruntled Hector 💩

P.S
Mummy slave has just said she can’t decide if its luck the vet checked us both or if she is cross too.
 
Dear Hector,
That all sounds very traumatic and unfair.
I hope you are compensated with lots of treats, and don't forget to try and give your slaves a sneaky nip if the opportunity arises.
It is always good to remind them who is boss.
Love Ruby xx
 
Oh my goodness! What an eventful vet trip. No wonder you are perplexed. Demand extra treats if you’ve got to have drops in your eye. And a casual nip will keep your slaves in their place.
 
I know you don’t feel it but you have been very lucky that the vet checked you over too. Just enjoy the extra treats. 🥬🥒🥕
 
Dear Hector,
I know how you feel.
I keep getting hauled out of my nice snug pouch and taken away to the vet.
It always results in nasty medicine.
I think you should ask the One and Only Thea to write to the GPU on your behalf, especially as it wasn’t even your appointment.
The One and Only Thea lives with @Betsy .
My slave keeps saying “”It’s for your own good”.
Maybe that’s true for you too.

Oh no Hector! You know what you need to do now. Milk it for all its worth! So demand an endless supply of treats - all in the name of helping your eye get better quicker. These slaves aren’t as clued up as they appear. Sometimes they need guidance to do the right thing. Either a nip, stinky eye or copious amounts of poop out of the cage. If you can aim the latter in their food, clothes or shoes then all the better.

I hope you’re back to top form darn quick. I hope you explained to Hamish that he had a lucky escape!
Love Fudge
 
Hector I have told The One and Only Thea of your plight and she is completely outraged and has written this letter to the GPU.

Dear GPU

It has come to my attention that my fellow Forum Piggy has been very wronged. Hector went to the vet as official paw holder for his best mate Hamish and came back with nasty eyedrops for FIVE days. It was Hamish's appointment and Hector came back with treatment and Hamish is fine! How can this be right? The vet found absolutely nothing wrong with Hamish's eye but found something wrong with Hector's. Poor Hector is, quite rightly very unhappy about this turn of events. His Daddy Slave has been trying to compensate by hand feeding veggie dinner tonight but this doesn't nearly make up for the injustice Hector feels. I can sympathise with Hector as I have my last doses of eyedrops tomorrow morning. I've had to 3 lots of eyedrops, 3 times a day for 7 days and before that it was 2 lots of eyedrops 3 times a day for 6 days.

Yours hoping that all haypoked eyes get better quickly

Thank you all for your sympathy and understanding.
It helped me just to share my experience.

Dear The One and Only Thea,
Thank you for your letter.
I am sorry you have had a bad eye.
Poor you, thats a lot of eye drops. I promise not to grumble about mine, as it seems I got off lightly, despite it not being my vet appointment.
With squeeks and wheeks from Hector

Dear Hector
Thank you for your sympathy about my eyedrops. I hope you don't get put in Laundry Basket Piggy Prison while your eyedrops soak in like I did.
Thankful I no longer have to have eyedrops

Dear Hector,

I have been thinking about your dreadful experience, and now I'm really stressed because slave says I have to go as official paw holder when Hazelnut gets her eye checked at the vet's today. Her eye! Just like Hamish had to get checked... But YOU ended up with the eye drops, so I'm freaking out about it happening to ME!

Yours in panic,

Trudy
 
Hello Trudy. We really hope you don’t get poked and prodded at the vets today. Love Percy and Pepper.

Dear Trudy,
I am sorry to hear about your friend Hazelnut, I hope her eye is alright.
I will keep my paws crossed for you that the vet has consulted with your slave first.
Also not just read the notes on your information & wondered if they got themselves confused over which pig is which, despite looking different!

Thinking of you.
Wheeeks and squeaks from Hector.
 
Thanks Percy and Pepper, I hope so too! I might get away with it, but I suppose Hazelnut won't be so lucky. I can support her lots, particularly with any reward snacks she might be given for her traumatic experience... 🥒🥕

Hector, I have just found out that my slave is allowed back in the consulting room, so I will wheek very loudly to remind her to say "it's the BROWN piggy not the white one"!

Love from Trudy
 
Trudy here, I was incredibly brave hiding under the blanket while Hazelnut got prodded by the vet, and I ate my piece of apple and parsley stalk like the world's most courageous paw holder afterwards 😁

I didn't get any vet attention at all because slave says I am perfectly healthy. Had to put up with a good deal of funny smells and noisy car travel though, so I'm off to do a lot of extra poops in the playpen, once I've had a good snooze and chomped a lot of hay!
