Even though Bean is afraid to be picked up, he calms down pretty quickly once he's on the lap. The other day he and I both had a short nap on the couch. You can read his mood really easily because he goes from the bulging eyes and body curled into a little ball, the lying down comfortably with a blank stare in his face.
When he's scared, though, you can really see way more whites of his eyes than the other pigs!
