Sonnet
Adult Guinea Pig
Include the wind blowing through the trees, birds, motorbikes/cars, dogs barking and the fan on my stove. Let me explain that last one.
The piggies are currently housed in my kitchen, since that’s the only place I have space for them to be. So of course, every time I open the fridge/do anything there, I get two pairs of eyes staring at me.
Made porridge for breakfast this morning, and as I normally do, I turned the fan on. Wandered off while the porridge was cooking, but all of a sudden...
Sprout: WHEEK! WHEEK WHEEK WHEEK!
Rushed back in because I thought he’d hurt himself, or something had frightened him. No, he was fine, just shouting very very loudly for no reason that I could see. They’d both had breakfast, so I couldn’t work out why he would suddenly start shrieking like that. Checked the porridge which was done, so turned the stove/fan off.
Sprout:...*returns to munching his hay*
Me: Wait...the fan set you off!?
He’s never done that before. All I can think is that maybe the noise of the fan was suddenly bothering him. Thing is though, it’s been on before, and he hasn’t reacted. Funny boy.
