We’ve been wanting to get some kind of pet for a while. I’ve noticed my mental health is usually better when I have someone else to take care of so we’ve been discussing adopting a cat recently.
We ended up getting guinea pigs!
Our apartment is usually on the messy side so we figured it would be easier with an animal in a contained space. Also guinea pigs are super cute and not jerks who bit for no reason like hamsters XD

They’ve been settling in nicely so far! Their cage is in my office so it’s nice to hear them running around and squeaking when I’m stressed at work.
I got to tell my family I finally had kids 😀
