mental health and guinea pig

I have a history of depression/anxiety... I definitely will have a rough day and go home and sit with the pigs and feel happier. Pets definitely make a lot of things feel better.
 
I don't fight depression, but I am bipolar. When I told my therapist ever since I got my guinea pigs I was going to bed later and waking up earlier, he called them my emotional support animals. He said that's what emotional support animals do: give you something to take care of and worry about other than yourself.

Ever since I got them I have a smile on my face.
