A few times a year Ruby gets a quick bum bath.
Despite being a bit of an antisocial madam, she has always been very good about her baths.

Last week she needed a quick rinse, so I popped her into the sink, and got DD1 to be on standby with the shampoo.
Despite Ruby being very well behaved, I never like to tempt fate by holding her with a single hand so I told DD to take the screw cap off the shampoo and squirt some onto Ruby's bottom.
The shampoo was coming out quite slowly so I told DD to squeeze harder, and that was the point where the part of the cap that is a small hole, popped off along with a huge blob of shampoo that went all over Ruby's back!
So what was supposed to be a quick bum bath had now become a major, full body wash, and it turns out Ruby is NOT a fan.
Afterwards I sat down to gently towel her dry, and Ruby made it quite clear that she was absolutely furious with me, and I was not allowed to touch any part of her body ever again!
DD1 was distraught and convinced that it was all her fault, and Ruby would probably die of stress because I was being so awful to her.
So I told DD to get a banana, which is Ruby's absolute favorite treat and something that she never, ever gets (normally).
I explained that if Ruby was so stressed she certainly would not be able to eat anything, even her favourite food.
This was Ruby's response (you might need to turn the sound up to get the full horror of Ruby's angry noise):

 
She is such an angelic looking pig. I always thought the stories you told about her were fabrications of the truth.:))
 
Our Ruby is a very 'empowered' girl.
She loves to let everyone know exactly what she thinks of them.
Sadly it is usually not very favorable, but this time she was more angry than normal.
As you can see I did pull my hand back sharply on one or two occasions - I m not afraid to admit that angry Ruby scares me.
 
I remember once asking you if Ruby was an aby as she is so fiesty, she is like Spike the aby in my avatar. I wouldn't want my hand in the way when he's in a strop. My OH holds the piggies when I cut their nails, Spike bit him and drew blood one day, he's learnt to keep the teeth out the way!
 
Oh dear that is a very upset little piggy and she's really attacking that banana. It's ok Ruby us females are allowed to chuck a diva like tantrum on occasion
 
Naughty slaves! How dare you anger the Diva! Although it does look like the banana made up for it!
 
:)) Angry but still hungry!

She is such a pretty lady :love:
 
I love it! Ruby is a pig after my own heart!

She sounds just like my Anselmo did. He used to do that noise all the time, he was such a grump.

The vet used to love seeing him because he'd do it when she was trying to listen to his breathing.

Then he'd add in his teeth chatter and finally he would have to resort to clothes tugging. The vet laughed so much at his attitude.

He'd probably make the same noise if he saw a banana, but because he hated them. They were his Kryptonite!
