and shun

Despite not having gone out of my way to instil in the wingpiglet a deep mistrust of dogs he seems to have developed one all by himself, being keen to point at them and verbally label them from afar but getting very nervous when one approaches too closely. When the cat from the house over the back fence appeared this evening he was curious to investigate it, but when it swatted at his hand (with, luckily for it, sheathed claws) he began, rightfully, to wail. He'll hopefully be shooing them out of the garden himself before too long.
