Hiya I'm back from my travels back to Manchester. My home town looks fantastic and is a shoppers paradise. It was good to see family and friends. I hadn't been back for 20 years so there was a lot to catch up with.

I left my precious boys with a friend and she looked after them well. She told me they didn't eat for 2 days or come out of their house but after that they were fine. I was a bit worried if they would do the same when they came home but they settled straight away.

I do feel terribly guilty about one thing though. When they were a few months old I had taught them to stand on their back legs as though begging for food. Sir David loved doing it but Columbo didn't so I never made him do it. After about a month of Sir David doing this I had a total rethink and thought that it was a bit demeaning so I stopped doing it with Sir David. When we went away I had not done it with Sir David for a good few months anyway when we brought them home, every time I go in the room he stands on his back legs as though saying look at me mum I'm trying to please you. Every time I bring food or water he goes straight up on his back legs like a meercat. I feel so awful. They obviously didn't know I was coming back for them when I left them for our holidays. I was really sad and was ringing to see how they were getting on. I drove my friend mad. I really missed their fuzzy faces. I keep stroking Sir David and reassuring him and talking to him but he keeps doing his party trick. I feel so guilty. :(
 
you shouldn't feel guilty. they obviously loved you and missed you, and they're happy you're back. i doubt they're mad at you, or you'd be getting the cold shoulder :p
 
I agree. You shouldn't feel guilty. You boys are just happy to have you back.

I had to leave my girls at a small animal hotel for 9 days at the end of July whilst we went on holiday. Now, they did fall out with me and it took them a good 2 days to come round!

xxxxxxxx
 
you really shouldnt feel guilty i think that maybe he just thought that he would show his mummy an old trick. a few weeks ago now i went away for a fort night and when i came back the boys were a little unsure of me but then remembered exactely you i was after i had been stroking for a good 20 minutes!
 
I'm glad you had a good time. Don't feel guilty. Your boys were well looked after and just want to tell you how much they love you. :) Clever Sir David.
 
Thanks everyone. I just love those guys so much. I am learning all the time especially on here and I just want to do my very best for them. I just didn't expect two furry fuzzballs to capture my heart the way they have.
 
Glad you had a nice time. I'm sure the piggies are just thrilled to have you back. It just goes to show that piggies do recognise their slaves. :))
