My own little world
you start chopping up their vegetables and think about how to present it for them at their dinner!

Had a mad moment earlier when i started chopping the cucumber to try and make it more 'interesting' (I know they won't care but!)! What makes you
realise you love yours?!
 
When you go to a 24 hour supermarket after a 10 hour shift at 1am because they've run out of their favourite veggies!
 
When you look at your piggies looking up at you and just smile so much you could actually cry.

Yes, they do that to me sometimes with their piggy powers. ¬_¬
 
When you go out in a thunderstorm to pick grass for them because they look so desperate!

Or when you make them a guinea pig birthday cake out of their nuggets to celebrate. (and take photos to share with the forum!)

Sometimes I arrange their veggies on the plate like a smiley face, with carrots for eyes and runner beans for the mouth. Lol I don't know why I admitted that.
 
when they eat better than you and you feel really guilty if you steal a slice of their cucumber for your sarnie :red
 
when you spend £1300 on their vets bills in 3 months and make a grown 47 year old man back out the room for criticising your choices. BAM! Piggy POWER!
 
oh yeah... and I will be recieving a delivery tomorrow for 50lbs (22kgs) of hay :/ I didn't really think it through when I bought it. I thought I was making a saving. Anyone got any clue how much space thats gonna need?

:P :P :P

Maybe Leeland would like it all in one go in her cage.. just pack it full.. "see you a month honey!"


p.s. why can I nod my head at nearly all the posts above.. yes, yes.. yes that too.. I'm thinking we have been imbued with some kind of guineapig care chip in our heads.. controlled by a master piggy by a giant satellite. rolleyes

when you look at their little faces and you just melt...and as already said leave cucumber out of your marmite sarnie as there isnt enough for everyone. When you go into a pet shop and come out with a lump in your throat because there is no telling who will buy the piggies and what might happen to them..:0
 
When you spend most of the day covered in bits of woodshavings, hay, and fur, but you don't care because you wouldn't want it any other way :))
 
When the boys are on my shoulders and we are going walkabout in the house and I am telling them: this wardrobe is where you have all your cosies, hideys, tunnels, teddies, spare water bottles, spare hay racks - that wardrobe is for your hay, spare vetbed, towels, mattress protectors, carriers - this bedroom is where the bed is that we sometimes cuddle on - that sofa in the lounge is where we watch telly together -that section of floor is your floor time play area - that bathroom is where you have floor time when I clean your home - that kitchen cuboard holds your dishes - that kitchen pantry shelf has your dry food - the two bottom drawers of this fridge have all your vegies - this room is where your home sits. Yup, they have their presence in every part of the house.
 
It's the end of the month for me and what with my birthday I'm really short on money - at the weekend I still bought the pigs some posh fresh herbs (on my credit card!) :))
 
when you get up at 2am because they want veggies, cut them into tiny pieces to ensure they cant choke, spend the majority of your paycheck on them to keep them happy, and when your guinea pigs have more of your room than you do. :) yup thats my babies
 
When you dash to the 24/7 asda or tesco for veg! or washing their beds before my own clothes! or when it's really cold, I leave the heating on (low) all day and I leave the kitchen light on all day so when I get in at 6 they haven't been in the dark lol (shh don't tell OH!)
 
sleeping on the sofa, next to a 'modified' washing basket complete with water bottle , towels & hay when my outdoor girls have been poorly :( , so that they stay warm & cosy, that way i dont wake the rest of the household when tending them in my PJ's & dressing gown going downstairs & outside to the shed in the middle of the night!
Bum baths & blow dry's before & after full time work when my old girl had UTI/reoccouring cystitus & permanent wet bottom that the vets couldn't seem to cure for weeks on end!

Phoning home on holidays, asking about the girls before the hoomans,

looking at the dejected look on the dogs face, when the girls come in for cuddle time - knowing she's going to be ignored for the next hour or so! poor pooch!

and all of the above makes me feel I'm not the only big softie! pure piggie happiness!
 
When you realise that you have spent more at Tesco's on food for them, than on food for yourself!
 
when you have got all your shopping then spend half an hour making sure that you have everything you need to treat the small furries, making sure that you have the best bunch of coriander, inspecting every leaf to make sure there are no brown bits.
 
when you miss a appm with the Drs because your were to busy sat watching the piggys .and finding them more danlions leaves.and like already been said their food bill cames to more then your own.
 
This is what I do when I'm home alone with the pigs...I'm glad nobody knows me on here lol...

Do your piggies eat olives?! (black things at the top?)

Love that, even i might eat salad if someone arranged it like that for me lol
 
No they're seedless grapes, once a week treat though I'm sure the piggies would like them every day lol. Me too, I have a fridge of salad stuff and I don't eat any of it. All for them! :))
 
when you go and drive out to a 24 hr tescos or asdas late at night because you've suddenly realised you've run out of veggies

when you get up at 6 o clock in the weekend to make sure their water bottle isn't frozen

when they make you smile so much there's a lump in your throat (yup i know they have amazing powers!)

when you find shavings in the pockets of your best coat and hay stuck all over your fave skirt

i know some of these have been listed before but they are true for me aswell! xx

Me too, lol. My dad thinks it's highly amusing that the only healthy stuff in my fridge is for the piggies!
