Temper Tantrums

I am chuckling at my sweet piggy and his newest thing - the temper tantrum.  It used to be when he was younger and smaller that he would stand with his front hooves on the sofa while you were munching on a snack and sometimes he would get a bite or two.  As he has gotten bigger he is a giant pain in the rump when it comes to food and we are working on making him wait politely for a bite.

His latest thing goes something like this:  he gets his front hooves on the sofa and gets told he has to get down.  He makes a ton of noise and puts his butt on the floor so in essence he is sitting but his feet are still on the sofa.  Then he gets told he has to get all the way down which is followed by more incredibly loud protests while he gets down.  Then he has to sit nicely for a nibble.  He is quite a comical piglet.... love that boy...
