.... I don't think they'll have missed me.

Back from hols last night so off to get the pigs and bun this morning. I can't wait but suspect they will not be so pleased to see me. Going shopping first to stock up on essential veggies to bribe them with Grin

Current Bun was definitely pleased to see me as I've had a 2 minute cuddle which is normally unheard of Grin. GP's not bothered although they did show some interest in my DD when she offered them basil.

The GPs were 'abandoned' in an enclosure which is 3 times as big as their usual quarters with doting people feeding them veggies. I think they didn't want to come home.

Aawww you know they missed you really (deep down)

But they'll be hoiking up their freshly laundered, ironed and starched 'Judgey Pants'.
Be warned Wink

Did ScruffyPig venture over to the darkside and sample something NOT GREEN ?

If he did he's not showing it. I gave them a lovely bowl of cutted up salad and he picked out the cucumber and celery and left Smooth to eat the pepper and tomato.

Smooth loves tomato so it's not too bad for him and he did some pretty nifty cucumber stealing Grin

They are still giving me the evil eye. I shall put them out in their run today to try to win them over - the grass has grown so much while we were away it'll be over their headsGrin

And here we all were assuming guinea pigs were these sweet little creatures. Turns out they can hold a griludge just like the other pets :o

Oh yes they hold grudges. My very first pig had the memory of an elephant. One bad experience of nail cutting (they were black, there was some blood and a shriek,) he never forgave me and would sulk at least 48 hours after ever manicure after that. Bless :)
