Wheeking ears!

[FernieB]

Smoothpig doesn't wheek unless he has something important to say (unlike Scruffy who chatters constantly and only stops to eat/sleep).

When Smooth wheeks, his ears flap up and down in time - very funny to watch. Do other pigs do this? Is it his wheek powering the ear flapping or his ear flapping powering his wheeks?

GP1 is a quiet old thing now (he used to do a shriek when we lifted him, but it's a half hearted whistle now)
But the ears - oh, they flap , they are light geranium leaves, rounded, covered in fur and crinkled.

GP3 has Rex ears which are parallel to the ground and because of his wiry little coat, I think there's less wag-room.
Just as well, he never shuts up , if he was a wheek/flap guinea, I think he'd be airbourne.

LOL at airborne!

Have a lovely image of a flying pig a la Dumbo .

Current Bun is a lop but when he's listening to something he puts his left ear up. Think he's left eared. He's snoozy tonight as he's had a lovely evening constitutional in the garden on his lead.
