Tug of war

[KGLeslie]

Rory has always seemed to enjoy biting his tea towel (I always cuddle him with one to try and minimise pig fur). He does other clothes tugging when he wants to go back, but he really gets stuck in with the tea towel to the point where you can have a full tug of war with him. He bounds at the towel, wrestles, tries to get his front paws on it, the whole time squeaking away.

Is this play behaviour or is he annoyed at me trying to take his cloth? He's never made aggressive noises while doing it but seems to get really quite strong with his biting and pulling.

Sometimes I think he's more dog than pig!

i'd be inclined to think playing however it could be territorial

It's not angry; he's probably just possessive!

He gets into a gather and nibble routine if he's held in his tea towel. Again not the same tug on clothes that signals he needs to pee. Here he is:

Nibble nibble



Then puuuuuulllllll!

It's very cute especially as he's doing a sort of contented squeak the whole time.

Less cute when you run out of tea towel and the next in line is the side of your finger. Rory nooooooooo! :o
