You know your a piggy parent when...

And when you open your handbag to find a pair of surgical rubber gloves (one of my Guineas has to have an antibiotic gel rubbed into her paw) and some syringes...now that really is a conversation killer.

I went to pull a pen out of the pen pocket in my work bag the other week only to pull out a syringe instead! I carried on as if this was perfectly normal and no-one said anything (to my face at least!)
 
Yes the syringe thing happened to me too. I had one on the table in the hall. Near where our boiler is (outside piggy room, as you know you can't go back in at night after night night hay 🙄🙈) and the man came to service the boiler. He promptly left and went out to use his phone then came back in with a friend. I swear he thought the needles were for something else other than medicating poorly piggies.

Every time we have a sick piggy, there will be loads of syringes on our kitchen counter. My husband being a Scouser, he would always inform the visitors beforehand that the syringes are not his but the piggy's! 😂😂
 
We had some people who used to drop in when they were passing for a coffee about once a month. Last time they came was in June when Peanut had had his operation. I had a mug of syringes waiting to be used on the kitchen worktop. I didn't think when she took her cup into the kitchen, we've not seen them since and we have no contact details to ring and let them know what they were for!
 
When the sound of piggies munching hay helps you get to sleep 😂
Lol i was sick so my mom was sleeping in my room with my guinea pigs for 2 days and she didn't slept a single night and was questioning me how do u sleep with your piggies being so noisy and all over the place on the opposite side I feel relaxed with their noises like I feel I am not alone now my mom is roaming in the house beating everyone because she's moody due to lack of sleep
 
The iPad is the same! it’s always rewriting my messages! The autocorrect has a mind of its own and not into piggie related jargon
