Talking to your Pigs

[Cookie22]

i talk to them about...how lovely and beautiful they are etc or moan at them which is what i seem to be doing these days, because they are naughty crafty piggies

i always have to say good night to them, or i cant sleep! i even ring my house and leave an answerphone message (it's one you can hear people as they speak in loudspeaker!) if i'm away over night! i know, i'm barmy! i often leave them messages when i'm out because i miss them. i get free minutes and i use them on the piggies! i have to tell them how much i love them and to play nicely lots throughout the day if i'm away for too long

My guinea pigs always get their "night night tidbit" in form of cucumber to tuck them in!

But they have had the occasional call back from Switzerland whenever they happen to be in reach of my husband back in Coventry. Poor man, he had to get used to me asking after the pigs first! Proper barmy, isn't it?

I have been singing baby tunes and Christmas songs in the middle of summer to a bereft and distraught guinea pig in my arms, which finally seemed to calm him down.

I always talk to my girls, they live outdoors and as soon as they hear the back door open they start calling me so naturally I reply.

My elderly neighbours have started talking to them too and bringing them treats when they think I'm not looking so they have started to recognise their back door too!
