You know you're a cavy slave when.....

[crittermom]

You know you're a cavy slave when:

1. In advance of a major winter storm, you make a trip to the store for extra veggies instead of bread and milk.

2. The lady at Wal-Mart stares at you speechless when you tell her that the large amount of fleece is going to line your guinea pigs' cage.

3. Everyone has to navigate around the big bag of parsley that's always on the fridge shelf.

4. You make sure to use organic products on your lawn so that the piggies can graze safely.

More ideas, anyone?

5. After being horribly sick for three days after eating the wrong food, you creep out of your bed and, though barely able to walk, go to the grocery cause your piggy ran out of cucumber this morning. (happened to me some 15 years ago)

5. You skip hanging out with your friends on Girls Night(or guys) to stay home with your pigs because you had work/school all day.

7. When you show people your pigs in their new cage, their jaws drop
8. You travel about fifty miles out of the way to get a bale of timothy hay
9. Every moment you get you go to check you pigs just go give them a slice of bell pepper or scratch on the head
10. You weigh them every day, charting their weight perfectly so that you can see ANY fluctuations

11. Have a hard time sleeping at night because your worried you might of missed a sign or forgot something ( me now..)

 

[Teria]

12. You ponder which parts of your furniture can be removed to make room for a bigger cage. After all, who needs chairs and tables?
13. You spend more money on their food than on your own.
14. You seriously check US to Germany shipping fees cause we don't have cubes here.

 

[crittermom]

Love the ideas so far!

Teria, maybe you've already checked it out but here's a thread on cubes in Germany. (broken link removed)

 

[Teria]

Thank you, crittermom! Then I have just another to add:

15. You seriously consider travelling all over Germany to get those cubes.

16. You don't need an alarm clock, cause every sound that comes from that cage in the middle of the night... you bounce out of bed to see if she has had her babies yet!

17. You leave your boyfriends house (who lives over thirty miles from you) just after twelve inches of snow has fallen, it's dark out, and it's still coming down, in the worst storm all year, so you can personally give them dinner, even though there's someone at home who said theyd do it for you.(I did this one yesterday)

18. You spend Hours putting together a fleece bedding. Hand sewing because you have no sewing machine. (did this last night started at 4pm finished at 2am)

19. Your Sunday to-do list actually reads like this:

Change sheets
Wash car
Clean bathrooms
Vaccuum

Give pigs floor time and trim nails

Yes, I got it all done! whew

20) You rearrange your furniture, and consider getting rid of some, so that you can expand thier living area (me tomorrow)

21) After getting home from grocery shopping, you tell your mother all about the deals you got, until she finally yells at you to get out and be quiet.
That happened today.
22) When you buy so many veggies it won't fit in your fridge(for the pigs), and hardley fits in the one in the kitchen.
23)When they have a huge section of the downstairs to have floortime, and have their own bathroom so you can prepare dinner.
My pigs have their own bathroom... yes, their own bathroom. So that's more room for them to have floor time, and that's the only place I prepare their vegtables. They also have their own fridge.

24) When first thing in the morning you find yourself chopping up a salad for piggies before even putting on the coffee.

25. When you consider adding onto the new C&C cage after having it for just three weeks(I'm always looking to remodel)
26. When you find yourself looking up guinea pigs on petfinder to try and find more piggies in need when you already know you're parents won't let you have anymore

 

[pennick]

Your redecorate their cage every other day cause you think they are bored.
While your laying in bed watching television you constantly glance over to watch your piggies, sometimes they are your television show.
When your piggies get served dinner before anyone else.
They wheek and you jump to attention

28.) When you can see cage-potential in every piece of furniture!
29.) When your house is full of aspen everywhere.. and you still vacuum every day..
30.) When you go to a store for some home-diy-supplies and end up searching the whole store for everything you can use to imporve your cage..

 

[pennick]

When your husband and child think you belong in the nut house but they let you stay.

When your daughter says mom 10 times while you mind is on the piggies thinking should i make a 3rd level?

When your suppose to be doing your work but instead your on this site.

 

[Piglet]

When you feed them before you

When you loose most of your bedroom, just so that they can have a big cage

You save up lunch money for 3 months, just so that you can buy them their cage, toys, them, towels etc

You travel 30 miles in the pouring rain, get lost for 2 hours, make dad late for work, so that they can have a bale of timothy hay =)
