Babe and Luka

Luka, my son's Huskey came down to visit today. I was having a breakfast of pancakes. Babe sat on her hanches and Luka sat down one on each side of me and guess what. They were both looking at me with such longing in their eyes that I did not get any breakfast. I fed it to them. Both Babe and Luke know how to eat off a fork. I just had to clean the syrup off Babe's nose. They then both settled down. Babe on her blankie at the side of my bed and Luka on my bed. My cat came in saw them both, gave a disgusted swish of her tail and curled up on the chair and went to sleep also. It is great that they all get along.

Keeping Craftroom clean

I have to keep my craft room floor clean because whatever I drop on the floor is a snack for Babe. She loves the taste of wallpaper, must be the glue. If she has a piece of paper in her mouth and I try to take it away from her, she chews faster. I have to keep all my floors swept because whatever is on it is fair game. She is really good for my figure as well. I never get to eat a complete meal. Babe is always there, just like a dog begging for a mouthful. She is soooo cute that I can't resist. I have found out that she does not like broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, or peppers. I thought piggies eat everything. But not Babe. She will eat her pellets around anything she doesn't like.
I am in a swap called Pets. I make a card with a piggly on it.

More about Babe

Babe is doing well. She has started to do something new. When I am standing at the sink, she like to rub her face against my legs, just like a cat would do. The only problem is a cat has soft fur and Babe has bristles. My son keeps saying that Babe has to go outside to her run and summer house in a few weeks. I just place my hand over my heart and tell him not to upset me. I know it may be better for Babe to be outside, but who will cover her at night with her blankie. Everytime I say this to my son, he says that he has a small mobile home that he can put near the pen and I could live in it.

Friendly visit

My friend Val came for a visit yesterday. It seems that Babe likes people. She had to check out Val's suede shoes and her leather purse. Val left with piggy gobbers on her shoes, but at least nothing is missing from her purse. Babe thinks that everyone has to give her treats and pet her.
Oh what a life.

Piggy in a Blanket

A picture of Babe at her best. The thing she loves doing the most. Sleeping. It looks like her ears are in need of a cleaning.

Saved by a Piggly

Early Tuesday morning, March 1, 2011 my pet piggy was making an awful ruckus around 2:30 p.m. and I thought she wanted something to eat. I got up and fed her, but I felt like I had a heavy weight pressing on my chest. I figured it would go away. I lay back down, but had difficulty breathing. Babe kept fussing and got me up again about 3:00. The pressure was so bad on my chest that I got scared and went upstairs to my mom. She sprayed under my tongue with Nito and I went back downstairs. My son Wolf came down and wanted to call an ambulance. I refused. I got up and got ready for work, but the pressure was still there. I drove to work but still did not feel good. My friend Val, told me that I looked grey. She wanted to drive me to hospital so did Mona. My TM wanted to call a cab, but being stubborn, I said no. I drove myself to the General Hospital.

When they checked my blood pressure it was 199 over something. A little high. I was admitted and they found that the main artery to my heart had closed that is why I was having problems with my breathing. They said that I had suffered a massive heart attack and that I was very fortunate because 2 out of 3 people don't make it. I went Thursday to Hamilton and they put 2 shunts into the artery. Now I find that I also have sugar diabetes, but instead of medication, I am going to control i with Diet and Exercise. I came home yesterday. I have to take it easy for a few weeks and will be off work until April 4.

I have to thank my piggly, because if she had not have kept waking me up, I may have never gotten up like my friend Sharon.

Babe and her likes and dislikes

You would not think that piggies have likes and dislikes. Everyone thinks that pigs eat anything and everything. Not so with Babe-Piggly She does not like broccoli, banana peel or uncooked potatoes. She will eat potato skins only when they are cooked.

She likes to snuggly down in her blankies and sometimes she rolls over and wrapping herself up and looks like an eggroll. All you can see is her little snout showing. I have to unroll her to get her out. I am trying to teach her a trick or two. She will come when call and when I put up my hand and say stop, she bangs into it, but does not move. She waits for her treat.
