In school, French was mandatory but I really enjoy learning them so in my spare time I learned German, Japanese and Italian; not to a fluent level but I could get by if I needed them, I travelled a LOT so it came in really handy ^^. Thank you for the tip! Sometimes it's hard to understand between the formal words and the gender on words confuses me a bit too haha, since english really has no gender-specific grammar rules it's a challenge to remember sometimes^^
As for Tiger and Chi... here are my Meerschweinchen
Tiger!... With a dandelion xD
Chi!... With just herself haha
Das ist mein Hund, Dug!
My dog is very clingy too haha >< He was abused by his previous owners so gets a bit of separation anxiety, but he's getting better slowly^^
I have taught my dog to wake my husband up if he sleeps in too long xD I say "Go get him!" and he runs upstairs, jumps on the bed and licks his face til he finally gets up lol
I'm sorry you miss your piggies ;~;, they really are beautiful!!
