[Gpdd] [BEHAVIOR] waving piggy

Does anyone else have a piggy who waves at them?

Several months ago, my Mocha started waving at Daddy Slave and I.  At first, we thought it was just a funny little thing she was doing with her front leg.  But now, we see that she does it on purpose.  She "waves" when she wants to be petted.

When she's in her cage, she stands up on the edge of the cage, and waves her front left foot.  Then when you go over to pet her, she's happy.  She closes her eyes and puts her head down.  Then after a few minutes, she's done being petted.

She's done this more to her Daddy Slave than me, but that's probably because he's the guy who gives the piggies their treats.

It's the cutest thing and it's earned her the nickname "the waving piggy".
