[pigsmakemesmile]

I mind as well add my 2 cents to heheh....I refer to my 6 pigs as "my boys" 44 yrs old and I play with them like they were barby dolls hehehe. I talk bout them alot because I love them and they are a part of my life. I babysit them when they're outside, I wash their things frequently, take them for checkups periodically. People look at me and just roll their eyes. They may be guinea pigs excuse me....cavies, small, sweet and domesticated but I love and respect them equally as I love and respect my bassett, my daughters 3 rabbits and pet rat suzy who is just adorable. They feel pain, display a sense of belonging to each other (observed this weekend) and show likes and dislikes.Anyone who comments to me "their just pigs" will get an earful plus an education. I must have by now spent a fortune on them but heck, I don't drink and do drugs and don't take fancy vacations. I'm happy at home hanging out with them. We watch tv together and I have my morning coffee with them. I comfort them and help them heal when injured. Love my boys.
