I’m taking care of my youngest child’s guinea pig while they are at college. Till is part of our family. Yesterday we had a nice snuggle session and she hung out on my lap for a good half hour or so. She’s a cutie pie.💛🥰

Guinea pigs are prey animals, which means they pretty much think anything coming towards them is out to get them. They can be super hyper vigilant and hide, freeze or run away when they feel unsafe.

And…when they feel safe they can orient themselves and are bouncy, friendly, snuggly and can accept touch and love.

Kinda like us humans….🤔

So yesterday Tilly felt safe and we enjoyed each other’s quiet company for a while. 💛

Pets can teach us lot about connection, safety and love, among so many other things. If you have a pet, what does your pet teach you?
