The thread title is terrifying. It conjures up Orwellian worlds where the power elite perform pointless experiments on members of the general public. One of the scientists turns to another and points to a monitor. The image is a plain cell holding a man in scrubs. The man scrabbles at a small door set in the wall. “My guinea pig now begs for his medicine.” says the scientist proudly.
Yes, that’s what I really thought of when I saw the thread title.
We had a real character piggie named Edible Rex who used to whistle at my father first thing in the morning to be released from his cage. I wish I could have seen my dad the first time that happened!
We would put Rex out in the yard under a plastic laundry basket and Hiram, the dog next door, would come over and watch out for Rex. He loved Rex and would herd him if he got out. Normally Hiram would just come tell one of us when Rex’s basket needed to be moved for fresh grass. It was an interesting pig/dog relationship.
Dude. Seriously. Put down the copy of 1984 and back away. :eek:
Well that’s what I hoped the thread would be about.
My fiance’s dog will look out for Peebee, and will often come and nose me to tell me that he’s “being naughty.” This is especially funny if it’s an issue of Peebee accidentally pooping while having floor time. Seriously, I’ve never before seen a dog give another animal the stink eye so readily before.
