You know your a Cavie slave when...

[skelly28]

You tell the checkout lady that the strawberrys are for the "babies' and your not refering to your children.

You make your husband stop to McDonalds so that you can get each of your pigs their own sidesalad-and then tell the cashier to hold the dressing because thier for your Guinea pigs and although she raises her eybrows at you, you simply smile as if people do that everyday.

Haha, I like this game. I love the salad thing.

...if half the contents of your shopping cart every week consists of vegetables that are not for you. If your trip to the store was inspired by the lack of green leafy things, and not because you yourself are down to pasta and pb&j.


...if you go, Meh, I can do laundry next week, I can wear each pair of jeans once more, but you still make a trip to the laundromat and break a twenty into quarters for the sole purpose of washing fleece.


...if you make an emergency visit to the vet first thing in the morning, causing yourself to be late to work, in the process pushing your own doctor visit back to 8pm, and truly think nothing of it until everyone around you looks at you funny.

...you come home from work, it is tax season and 10 pm, and you grab a flashlight to dig fresh dandelions for your pigs.

...you explain to your grandkids that guinea pig poops are NOT yucky and start juggling some to demonstrate.

...you plan an outdoor paradise for your cavies and they get the best and shadiest spot under the pear tree, while your patio chairs are placed next to the compost pile.

...you tell everybody at work not to throw out the previous day's Wall Street Journal because it is black and white only and its paper is more absorbent than the Salt Lake Tribune's.

...when you have a place in your fridge labled cavy food & it's the largest shelf in the fridge.


....when you stop eating canned veggies & start eating frozen and fresh veggies, so the piggies can eat meals with you.


....when your family room is now a huge home/playpin, for the sake of making sure that your cavies
have enough room, (while you have about a foot wide space to walk around..)

When you convert the whole bottom of your bedroom closet into guinea pig accessory storage! I ordered a new hamper that would be presentable enough to take out of my closet and leave out and the whole bit.

[Love pigs]

Lagh out loud!!!

... when your whole paycheck goes to the piggers!
... you don't do your homework because you would rather hang out with pigs!
... when all of your teachers think your crazy because all of your work sais PGPSM (future shelter of mine) and draw guinea pigs by every question!
... when your bedroom door is filled of your piggy's pictures from the night before including the bloopers!
... when you have a seperate mini fridgerater not for you but for your pigs!
... when peeps ignore you because the only thing you brag and talk about are about others cavys and yours!
... when you have to take a 4 hour drive so the pigs can come too (have no choice... no stress)
... when you wake up with you sqeekers as your alarm clock at 4 in the morning on saterdays!

Thats all I have for you! Sorry. I'll come up with more!

...when your grids C+C cage is so big, it makes it harder to access the washer and dryer. (Only leaving about 18'' of room to walk between the W+D and the grids!)
...when you ask in your sleep if the pig has enough veggies. (Happened to me last week!)

[Love pigs]

Funny! I like the sleeping one!

[maki0348]

...when you throw away your perfectly good futon mattress but keep the frame for a base for your pigs C&C cage.
...when your fiancee complains that you spend more time with your pigs than with him.

[Love pigs]

Now that was a good one!
