I weighed my pigs

[Baby Bears]

What a job that was! I got Butter and stuck him in the little kitchen scale and he just sat there - he lets you do anything to him. Wrote down the weight, went and put him on floor time. Then... it was time to weigh... Peanut. Oh geez. It took two full grown adults to get him to sit in that scale long enough for someone to read it! He's insane. It was like a cartoon. All four paws on the edge of the bowl refusing to be put in. I don't know if he thought we were weighing him for the roaster pan or what! Then he got put on floor time and he sat there for at least 5 mintues just staring at my husband like he was plotting some sort of revenge on him. Just so you know, he weighs 1 pound 5 ounces.

Whew. I'm not looking forward to this weeks weigh in! I might save it for the vet on Thursday. They are getting a general check up with my local Guinea Pig specialist.

Awwww, Peanut sounds so funny!! Piggy use to do that too - she'd give me a hard time, and then afterwards would sit there and stew about it.

That's HILARIOUS!! I can just imagine that, too funny.

 

[Poohbear]

You know how the vet weighs the little critters?
He puts a box on the scale and weighs it, then puts the piggie in the box, weighs it, and then subtracts the weight of the empty box.
Not as entertaining as your scenario, but it does the trick.

That is so funny. I could almost picture this little furry thing hanging on to the sides of the bowl. Too cute. I love the names you gave your pigs too.

He puts a box on the scale and weighs it, then puts the piggie in the box, weighs it, and then subtracts the weight of the empty box.

Since my brain dead mind doesn't like subtraction anymore, an easier way would be to put the box on the scale, then tare the scale. Then weigh the piggie and box and you'll have the weight of just the pig.
