Hi all!

I have no doubt that we,all do things, as huge piggy lovers, others may view as odd. Here are 2 of mine:

Just now, my husband looking all over the house for me.
Husband: 'What are you doing'?
Me: 'Folding Monty and Waylons blanket so its how they like it'

Every day. Me singing 'hush little baby' replacing the word 'baby' with 'guinea'

Share urs? :) bet theres some brilliant ones!
 
Ali was caught just the other week by several of his male workmates, practising his various guinea pig wheeks..

During cage clean, Ali.. commented to me you can't give the boys a pink fleece as it doesn't suit them..

Lisa & Ali..
 
i have two dogs that sort of went backward with their house training so i now stand at the door telling them in a silly voice that they are very clever for doing their business outside. They are 5 and 9 so i get very strange looks. I also get funny looks in the park because one of them you have to be really firm or she doesnt listen to you but the other one you have to put the silly voice on because if you dont he thinks he is in trouble and wont come to you (both ill treated before i took them on)I think people think i either have a favourite or a split personality
 
I try to reason for them when it comes to nail cutting and overall general checking
I always moan at Pecan she being such a princess who generally decides to be awkward and not eat any veggies unless they are hidden.

Also when I give them kisses I'm like a mum trying to get some attention and I get 'the look' too!
Also talk to them about my day and how much I love them etc
 
I love that about your song! I do the same by singing Tom Jones' What's Up Pussycat but changing pussycat to guinea pig.The neighbours used to laugh at the sight of me cutting grass or dandelion leaves with scissors when it was not good for the boys to be out on the lawn. Recently I've replaced my chain link fence with a solid one so now I can cut away in privacy..
 
When I pick them up I go abababa and hold Milo like the monkey holds the lion pup in the Lion King and sing aahhhhh keeennaaaaaaa mmiiillllloooooo (sorry don't know their names because I've never seen it). Whereas Leo digs into my hair and kisses me behind the ear xxxox
 
Telling my previous pairs that '..they're off to stay with ....' when I take them down to my parents to pig sit. My new boys haven't had that experience yet.

Cadging suitable cardboard boxes from all over the place to keep their tunnels/hiding places new..... The other night I raided the bar at our local theatre when I say the boxes the wine arrives in about to be flattened for recycling.
 
Loving all of these! I'm afraid I have too many to mention.

I sing to mine quite a lot. They have a bit of a thing for hip hop... ain't nuthin but a g thang!
 
Glad its not just me thats nuts lol! Worringly ive started talking to other animals.

a pair of collared doves have decided to make nests in the underground car park at work. I keep trying to reason with them abiut how its a bad idea as they would get locked in at night and weekends and will starve to death.

I refer to them as Mr and Mrs Dove people think I'm nuts.
 
I have a habit with the neighbours cats.
They have two very gorgeous cats ... Whenever I see them I always greet them with 'Hello gorgeous boys.'

Luckily enough my neighbour has never been outside when I greet them.. Wouldn't want him thinking I was calling him gorgeous :P It would be a tad embarrassing and awkward

I tend to talk to my fav in a dodgy french accent - and as pigs are all in the lounge and the window is usually open people walking past can hear me saying "leave her bum alone" - as Bumble is sniffing Honey!

OMG I did this recently, started (and I can't do accents) referring to Peter as "Monsieur Pete-tay" :)) I was sat in the sun with them the other weekend and bit off a small piece of my apple and snuck it to Bea who was alone downstairs, the others must have smelt it and came running so I had to then bite off a small piece for each of them. It was only a small apple and I hardly had any :)) :))
 
I talk baby talk to mine and sing to them (the poor things) I also put them the radio on and the other night when I went to turn it off at bed time there was a play on and I said 'sorry you will miss the end of the play but it is late' :D
 
Bringing home shredded paper from work & admitting its for "Guinea Pig carpet" when i'm coming out of the door! :roll:
Going out to the run (garden out the front next to the pavement) whistling & shouting at them in a baby voice "come on then whirly whirlies time for bed, come on Grace, come on Ellie-belly bedtime" :whistle:

people either laugh at me or hot-foot it past really rather quickly... what a nutter! :crazy:
but do i care? piggy parents have the best eccentricities... Yeahhhh & PROUD! :clap:

I can just ima you in the park. Saying "here!" to one dog and then "here sweet little one", to the other! .

I completely understand though, one of mine has to be spoken to nicely or she wont walk, just lies down and the other needs to be ordered. Both rescues also :)

God I talk to animals in the street as well! I'm probably known as the local nutter.

Also if there is a dog in an 'unusal place' like on a bus or a train I absolutely lose it with excitement "omg a dog! There is a dog on the bus! A dog! On the bus!". All out loud often when I'm alone. I think I need help...

The other day there was a bull dog tied up outside a shop so I said hello to it (I didnt touch it I might add with no owner present as you never know). As I walked into the shop I heard someone say hello in a dog voice. I thought someone must be taking the so I just ignored it and got what I needed.

one way out of shop I noticed the dog was chatting away to itself. It was not barking nor growling all I can describe it as was "talking". So I had a bit of a chat it was talking back lol. Then its owner came and I got embarrassed and hurried off to my car lol!

I say 'wee wee wee wee' to them to get them to chatter back! We used to have one who responded to high pitched whistles too.

I constantly talk to my piggies. It starts in the morning when I go to get breakfast with 'Hi Eddie!' and 'Hi girlies!', and then escalates into some rather one-sided conversations about how they can't have whatever they're squeaking about, unless its veggies. Then its 'ok, ok, I'm getting you some veg!'. Lol!
 
I talk to mine all the time!
I used to always talk to my Hammy too!
When I'm in college I chat away to the animals, some of the girls give me the strangest looks haha
I was dog sitting and I was chatting away to her when I was walking her to mine haha
