You just have to love Ginger piggies

Arnold actually game from a pet store called "Pet and Garden Center".
My other boy, Louie, passed away a few days before and Ralph was completely miserable. He wouldn't eat or drink.
I went to the local shelter first but the only 2 piggies they had, had already gone to new homes.
I was meant to be going to P@H to look in their adoption center but I ended up strolling into a pet store while in the middle of town...And there he was, huddled in a corner of a cage, with 2 Rabbits. They were really aggressive toward him and nipping at him.
You could hear him wheeking. He was so terribly frightened 8...
My heart ruled my head and I snatched him up and told the assistant that I wanted him.
I don't think they were amused that I opened the cage and picked him up without their permission :{ But I really didn't care.
He's such a cheeky little thing. I sometimes wonder what he'd be doing now, if I hadn't taken him. He chews holes in my clothes, he bites me, he hates being handled, he kicks up a terrible fuss.
He IS getting better, though. He's not quite as jittery as he used to be.
He's a piggy that needs someone who has the patience to deal with that. If some little kid had gotten him, they'd probly have gotten bored of him because he's so cheeky
He actually lets me pet him when he's in the cage now. He used to dart off as soon as he saw me and he'd never take veggies from my hands.
Now he doesn't run away, as long as I don't move too fast and he takes veggies from me and stuff.
He's a lovely little boy.
Ralph used to be alot like him and Ralph comes running up to me for cuddles now. So I hope that in time, Arnold will be the same
