piggy check piggy check !

[danone]

I'm an idiot and can be seen singing this to my 2 pigs whenever i do the so called piggy check haha,now i do it daily or every few days.
my check consists of the following and i thought it would be a good idea for everyone if we shared our checks so we know what should be looked out for.

bald patches/hair loss
sore feet
ears
eyes
nails
parasites
bottoms and boys/girls bits

also
eating/drinking habbits
stool check ie wet/dry stools
are they happy ie have you seen them running and popcorning etc


if anyone has anything else to add please do or if you think I'm mad for singing to my pigs please tell me haha

generally all us pet lovers are mad or we would spend so much money or time on the lovelys he he! i love nothing more than heckling mine as i go past or talking to them like they are babies ie "whos a beautiful girl yess you are, yes you are" lol

Okay seriously, we are all going crazy! I like to talk to mine like he's a little baby as well, and for me making such a big fuss about him all the time he will let me pack him around like he's a baby, on his back and everything, all that's missing is the diaper and bottle and at night when I put the dogs to bed I also tell little sweets, "go to bed and lay down" and sometimes he really does it but as soon as I turn around to put myself to bed he is up and playing again. Naughty little man! haha I love him though!
