Teenage Guinea Pig
To recap. First of all, my daughter trained Little Miss Bianca to jump onto the mezzanine, out of the way, when the hay and newspaper needed changing. Not for long. What had actually happened was that Bianca had trained my daughter to give her a treat whenever she fancied, by jumping onto that mezzanine, looking towards her, and waiting. So, today my daughter gently moved Bianca’s chin up to indicate that she should please move out of the way now. In the past, Bianca has responded to that. But today, no. She promptly pushed my daughter’s finger away with her little paw. Irritating hooman. Do you really think I spend all day every day rumblestrutting just for some hooman to come along and say they’re boss?
For this little piggy doesn’t like to be touched. Occasionally she will tolerate it. She used to do a neat little jump backwards or sideways away from my finger, all without pausing in her chewing, when I tried to stroke her next to her eye. (Her sister quite likes that.) More recently, she just tilts her head away from me when I try to steal a caress, no interruption to that business of eating. But why should she be the one moving anyway? And so often she just bats my finger away with that little paw of hers. We are sooo irritating.
