Junior Guinea Pig
Tobi is my special piggy, the one who I had an immediate bond with, the piggy who just grabbed onto my heart and wouldn't let go.
Tobi isn't a fan of baths, never really has been - nor am I. Why? Because whenever you give him a bath, you best be prepared to get soaked as well. I put him in the sink, he doesn't fight, scramble or even whinge but on occasion, he will jump out of the sink, dripping went trying to get up to my chest or around my neck. The only way he will be ok with the drying off is if he is tucked up around my neck x>>
I have had to apply ointment around his eye (slight hairloss) twice a day, (I put him on my bed and kneel down so my chest is a bit higher than where he is). As soon as you say "Mummy cuddles" he will put a paw on either side of my neck with his back feet still on the bed and just sit there giving me a cuddle x)
Every time I have him out in the lounge for some free-range time along with Chip, he will just sit in one place maybe wander a little bit or sit on my leg for a while before he will try reach up to give me a hug. He will stretch his body out as much as he can, back feet on the ground, front feet somewhere on my front trying to give me a hug. It's incredibly cute non-the-less.

well, we actually have two baths but one is filled with rain water outside dads shed invade he burns himself and the other is a trough for our cows to drink from after some horses destroyed their last trough in that paddock..
