Piggytude

[wheek!guinea]

Koji and Glacier are both 7 months now and they seem to have developed piggytude. Often Koji gives me this look (pic) during cuddles and both are very very squirmy now. Glacier will throw his head up and back up if he thinks I'm going to pick him up. I hope they don't hate me or anything like that.

Hi!

Your boys are right in the thick of their teenage months at the stage where their testosterone output is at a life time high in the weeks around 6 months of age. That will also translate into their interaction with you. Nothing personal, just macho hormones!
