pigs

[America (AOL]

my pet pig snores very loud every night and we can hardly sleep. how do we get our pet pig to stop snoring very loud every night?

[FP]

My husband snores very loud every night and I can hardly sleep. Perhaps we should put your pet pig and my husband together in their own room and then we would both get some sleep!

What about him having a room of is own in the garden? That way you all get sleep. Or try ear plugs, if you keep him indoors.

Lindy, are you talking about my husband or America's pig? My husband does have a room of his own in the garden - but I don't feel it's fair to keep him in the shed! I better keep him indoors where I usually keep him. Night, Night xx

I can think of a solution, but if it's a pet pig you may not be too keen on it... You would not only have a good night's sleep, but an excellent breakfast. More seriously, is it overweight? Pigs are so enthusiastic about food that it can be hard to say no... It is a common cause of human snoring. It will also be very uncomfortable if very fat. Also, if it's a pot-belly or some other very short-faced type, it may simply not be able to breathe properly, like short-faced dogs.

Fakeplastic..I was talking about America's pig!!! But what a wonderful sense of humour you have!! Didn't mean to confuse you!! Sorry!!!!

[FP]

Hi Lindy Thanks. I enjoy your contributions too. Doesn't New Forester always give fantastic answers? I'm now going to put Mr Fakeplastic on a diet. Nothing much I can do though about his short face! xx

[Lindy Loo]

I agree that New Forester is brilliant and his answers are so informative. Must have taken him years to learn what he knows. Mrs. FP. I do hope that Mr. FP's diet helps the snoring problem, but please not too much lettuce or he may develope long ears and fluffy tail and get 'hopping mad' instead!!! Better stop this or Ed will be on our case!!! TTFN

I don't think the Ed. minds too much if sometimes we have a little lighthearted banter, as long as it's not in the very serious questions and we don't do it too often. Am I right Mr Ed? FP

[As long as the question gets answered too - preferably before the banter begins... that's the rule we go by! -AB Ed]
