You Know You're A Piggy Slave When...

I was asked about the veg I am growing in my garden this year. I said I had a garden full of carrots, celery, peppers etc. I was told that was great as the piggies could have any left overs. My response - 'are you kidding? This have all been grown for them and we will eat anything they can't get through'. Organic - only the best for my boys. Hoomans will stick to Asda smart price!
 
When you shake their blankets out in the garden and the neighbours give you weird look and you respond with "...they are the guinea pigs blankets".

Or when you take home empty cardboard boxes from work and have to explain to your manager how much the pigs love hiding under an upturned box with a hole in it..
 
Well this is making me feel a bit more sane! I pick up tender stem Broccoli for the piggies and your normal broccoli for us. Plus my OH is growing them some tomatoes because they like them even though he despises them. I think they eat better than us :whistle:

Phew I'm not the only one!-

When the kids are whinging for their tea, and you tell them to wait as you have to feed "my boys first" and then realise theirs only enough carrots and broccoli left for a) the boys b) the family------its OK though kids like frozen peas and sweetcorn -LOL
 
My mum actually eats veg that I would consider too far gone for piggies. She asked me the other week if I wanted some cauliflower for the pigs, I looked at in and said throw it out as it is a bit wilted (not brown or slimey just not as stiff and crunchy as when very fresh) she actually put it bsck in her fridge and said she would eat it lol!
 
Was taking the pigs a carrot to share (snapped in half for even distributing lol) and I nibbled of an end right in front of them, with a result of very grouchy faces because I was eating their tea!
 
You buy a whole punnet of strawberries, rather than feed them to the hungry faces of my neighbours lovely girls, they watch me gingerly put them into the hutches...only to turn back and see some grumpy faces...oh dear, I'm really not very good am I? I feel guilty but pop the last one in my mouth to be sure they would enjoy them....yep they were sublime!
:raz:
 
When your whole greenhouse is full up with cucumber plants all for the pigs. I also get told off by the OH for 'thinning' out the carrots and beetroot so they can have first picking
 
When the neighbours spot you crouching down on the lawn in the rain cutting grass with scissors & ask what are you doing that for?

When you're at the greengrocers & arrive at the check-out with nothing but 2 heads of cos lettuce & one of redoak lettuce, the clerk says "someone likes salad" & you reply "yes. my guinea pigs" in all sincerity.

When you're at the shop grumbling to your companion there's no cos lettuce for the piggies, the clerk hears you & offers some discounted leftovers from the back & you reply "oh no thanks they eat people food".

.When you slice some carrot batons for the 2 boys' snack into a divided dish & the granddaughter says "grandma that's not even!" & you proceed to re-arrange them into more even piles.

I think we're all slightly deranged, but piggies will do that to you!
 
When you carry a spare carrier bag with you so when you see a nice patch of grass you can take some home. Also, as above post, I'm out in the rain in the garden cutting grass and in the winter I go down to the fields where I live to cut grass (much to the locals amusement). On the subject of grass my husband is going mad as I won't let him cut the lawn so its getting seriously overgrow... But Freddie and Ginger Ted think they are in heaven when in their outdoor run...they just get swallowed up in the grass...
