Junior Guinea Pig
I am at the end of my rope. Not pertaining to how much work I do for my sisters guinea pigs (which i honestly dont mind, theyre wonderful little guys), but I get extremely little help and even appreciation for how much I help them,,,
My sister shows little interest in improving their living situation (ie expanding their cage) and the same goes with my parents. I am hardly a teenager,and my sister is much closer to my age than I make her out to be. I cannot help but find her actions (or lack thereof) irresponsible.
The cage and carpet around it are a constant mess and my sister insists we only need to clean it once a month. Outrageous to me, especially taking the size of the pet store cage into consideration. The amount of hay that falls onto the carpet is enough to feed a horse!
My family is uninterested in including the pigs in any Christmas celebration. I've had to work my bum off to be able to afford two cuddle cups, and I've sacrificed many hours on researching how to make a c&c (which may be especially difficult for me later on; i've not a crafty bone in my body). I'm just tired of the PEOPLE, not the pigs. My sister didn't even know someone had to clip their nails monthly, and of course that responsibility has fallen to me (although both Gizmo and Tim are relatively calm and it's not a terribly stressful ritual).
I'm very sorry if I sound mean. I am just praying for a way to make them see the pigs deserve better.
On a happier note, Gizmo sat in my lap today rather peacefully.
