[Gpdd] Misc: You Know You Are No Longer A Normal Housewife When

[Susi Eastin]

        This was just sent to me under the guise of a rabbit person. I know better.
  Just a few minor changes . . . I'm sure most of you will identify with at 
  least a few of these ( and can likely add a few more!)
  Enjoy!
   
  You Know You Are No Longer A Normal Housewife When......
   
  Visitors come to your home and your children ask if these are real people or 'cavy people".
   
  You ask for a roll of wire and J clips for Mother's Day.
   
  You have a rabbit fur on your Christmas list, but you want the rabbit still in the fur.
   
  Your vacations are planned around the ARBA convention.
   
  You spend $50.00 a week on guinea pig feed, produce and treats, but only $30.00 a week on people feed.
   
  There are more dates concerning guinea pig  births and shows on your calendar than 'real people' events.
   
  The man at the feed store sees you more than your beautician.
   
  Your doctor wants to give you a tetanus shot every time he looks at your arms. It took three times seeing him before he quit asking you if you had cats! Now he asks "How are your guinea pig scratches?"  no matter what you see him for.
   
  You no longer have your nails done, because you want to travel to more shows.
   
  Your last new coat was a 'show coat'.
   
  You now own mud boots, a pair of coverall's and lots of long sleeve sweat shirts and blouses.
   
  You traded Beamer in on a Dodge Caravan. Your neighbors think you have a finance problem or at the very least a cash flow problem!!
   
  The garage can no longer be used for the Beamer anyway, as it is full of hidden guinea pig  cages. You are beginning to hint about a place in the country.
   
  Your neighbors comment on your lush green lawn and the splendid growth of all your shrubs.
   
  Your compost pile is active all year long, not just during the growing season.
   
  You spend more time cleaning guinea pig  cages, trays or feed dishes than you do cleaning the house.
   
  You no longer care what the neighborhood gossip is, only what is going on in the cavy world.
   
  Better Home & Gardens has been replaced by JACBA.
   
  You get up at 4 a.m., pack up your cavies and travel 150 miles to a cavy show. Work behind a table all day carrying cavies, get scratched to pieces by some judges cavies you carried to the table. Drank gallons of coffee and cola, ate only junk food. Drove home, alone in the rain, unloaded your animals, put them away, fed and talked to each one. Drag into the house, greet your husband who is up watching the new Bruce Willis movie and he looks up and asks, "How was your day?"  You answer, 'it was great, honey!!",  and you mean it.
