I think I've been too indulgent with Dumpling. I think she's perpetually unhappy with me. Which begs the question - who owns who now?? =)
So last Saturday morning, she starts squeaking at 7:30am. After about 10 minutes, I eventually realized the squeaking wasn't part of my dream - it was actually Dumpling. My friend from out of town was staying at my place too, so Dumpling actually woke both us up. Later on, my friend and I were studying together - Dumpling kept squeaking for 5 hours nonstop, even after I'd given her muchos muchos vegetables! There were still vegetables in her cage - but she wanted tomatoes (which I wouldn't give her in large quantities). And everytime we rattled a plastic bag, or opened the fridge, she became extremely shrill (which really interrupted our studying, so I had to stop and give her something).
It's too bad she's so cute. I feel bad not giving her food, but the constant squeaking has got to stop! She sounds so pitiful, the little rascal. I'm sure a lot of people know this story with their own pigs. Suggestions? The problem is, my apt is really small (1 room), so there's no where for me to hide. She can see me whenever I'm home!
