You Know You Are Owned By Piggies When...

[Lady Kelly]

I'm sure we have done this before but it was an interesting way to share my experience from yesterday.

You know you are owned by piggies when...
You wonder why your hair product has left a crunchy curl at the back of your head and after a minute of trying to soften it between your fingers you manage to pull out the long strand of hay you've been playing with!

Such a lovely thread!

You know you are owned by piggies when...
... you plan your family's meals around what veg the pigs enjoy
... when you plan your home's interior according to how you can fit the largest CandC cage
... when the first thing you do when you get home is pop to the piggy room to say hi

You know you are owned by piggies when .....

.... you talk to the checkout lady in Sainsbury's about what your piggies have been up to.
.... you have hay all over carpets in the house and you just don't care anymore.

You know you are owned by piggies when .....

...... you are wary of ever eating that little bit of Nuttella that seems to have dropped onto the table - just in case....

Really never had that one... Must just be you

I have had the itchy boobs before only to find hay in my bra... I just told the OH it was insulation to keep them warm

Yes! I have said "we don't have any peppers left" when what I mean is there is only one and I was planning to give the piggies pepper tonight so we will have to eat something else

You know you are owned by piggies when there are more photos of them on your phone than anything else or anyone else.

You know you are owned by piggies when...
You find poop and hay where there really shouldn't be any

You know you are owned by piggies when you find poop in your bra

Love these!

Oh yes my phone gallery is comparable to that of some of my friends who have babies... But my babies are furry and cuter

You know you're owned by piggies when...
You're out shopping for gloves and batteries and you bring home a spiraliser...just in case theyre bored of chopped or diced veg.

You know you're owned by piggies when...

You walk a mile out of your way to buy M&S green beans, because they like them.
You learn to like cabbage because the piggies will only eat the very dark green outside leaves and you can't bare to throw food away.

 

[Reenie]

You know you're owned by piggies when...
You get rid of the bed in your son's old bedroom and replace it with two c&c cages - then buy a blow up mattress in case anyone ever wants to stay the night (they're in the living room)

Love this thread - all so true

You know you’re owned by piggies when on Monday morning your colleagues’ first greetings are “how are the piggies?”

 

[Swissgreys]

You know you are owned by piggies when...
You pay 7 Swiss Francs for a punnet of blueberries because they are a certain somene's favorite food, but tell the kids you are not buying a mango for 3 Swiss francs because that is a ridiculous amount to pay for a piece of fruit.

And you justify it to yourself because the mango is just 1 piece of fruit whereas the punnet of blueberries divides the 7 in to far smaller numbers per berry.

 

[Katiedid]

You sit on the rug by the fire and realise your jeans are wet as you’ve just sat where they all sat to snuggle up to daddy......

 

[Roclibrarian]

You tell your husband off for eating the amusing shaped carrot which you thought the piggies might like.
You find hay under your pillow in the morning.
You are constantly telling the pigs no, no, it's not for you.....followed swiftly by oh ok here you go, just a little bit.

 

[Reddybex]

You know you are owned by piggies when you have a special voice you use when speaking to them.....which your husband thinks is hilarious to bring up in front of friends, who then demand a demonstration....which I then unashamedly provide

 

[Hoppity.K]

You know when you are owned by piggies when.... desperate for a fresh orange juice on a Sunday morning, you open the fridge... to a chorus of wheeks! You then have to organise & chop fresh veggies before you can even think of said orange juice... xx

 

[GuineaPigGeek]

You know you are owned by piggies when... your WHEEKend (Ahahaha! Guinea pig pun! Lol!) is spent upgrading their c&c cage when you already have limited cash and making them more toys. #MeThisWeekend When I should have been studying for exams... Hehe, this is when you know that Guinea Pigs are your life and nothing will change that. I love my two lil furbabies Xx

 

[Pluto&Astro]

You know you are owned by piggies when you spend everyday spoiling them.

 

[Kellykels]

When you think everything they do is adorable/amazing/clever and your long suffering fiance has to listen to "look Mark he's peeking at me, look Mark he's eating his hay, awww look Mark, Stripe is peering up at me with sad eyes!, Oh look Womble is chunnering, do you think he's trying to encourage Stripe? Look Stripe is eating!" Etc...

You know you’re owned by piggies when you’ll more than happily take them 1hr 30min for their vet appointment to see Uncle Simon and Auntie Kim, because “I’m their guinea pig mommy”. Even when the vets trips do become a fortnightly occurance

 

[Katiedid]

When you think you have removed all the hay from the inside of your tights until you get into the car on the way to work!

Ouch scratchy!

 

[Betsy]

When you are half an hours walk away from home and the heaven's open and the first thought that comes into your head isn't, "I'm going to get so wet walking home" it's, "Oh bother I forgot to put the rain cover down on the hutch when I gave the piggies their breakfast this morning" and you almost run back home so that you can put down the cover that bit quicker!

When you begin to be proud of all the little piggy hairs all over your clothes, not caring for the odd looks people are giving you out and about, and just use it for an opportunity to explain you have a guinea pig.
Or
When you can tell WHICH hair came from WHICH piggy. That white one is Marla's..........
