Arch Nemesis

My monkey is pretty fearless. He is not bothered or scared easily---unless you are an iron pig. Gigi has this silly but cute little rustic pig by her door. He is/was next to one of her planters by the door. We bought him several years ago as kind of a gag gift with her mother’s day gifts because she had thought he was unique and cute. Anyway, when we went to her house last weekend he noticed it. He was just walking up the driveway to the little sidewalk and then stopped and stared and pointed. Devin made the mistake of pushing it with his foot so Aikman could see it and since it’s metal, its scraped really loud on the ground and monks face was so sad! He could not move fast enough to get back and his eyes got big and his eyebrows went up. He had to be carried in because he would not walk past it. He was even scared to walk out the house to go home. He was looking around for the pig and very cautious. Fast forward to Tuesday night. We went to Gigi’s to see her and make a list so we could go to the store for her. He started to walk up the driveway like normal and Gigi moved the pig to between the two garage doors by a planter so he would not notice it. I walked ahead and Devin and Aikman were walking up and monks stopped. I figured he saw it so I stood in front of it so he would not be scared. He tried to look around me even though he was nearly six feet in front of me ha ha. He walked forward holding Devin’s hand but was making a disgusted face the whole time. Once we got close I picked up the pig and he leaned away from it but once I started to act like I was petting it, he touched it on its side and then bent down to kiss it. I think he just got caught up in the moment because he still is not fond of that pig. He stares it down and will point at it as if to let him know he is in his sights.
