As this week is mental health week, I am reminded of the importance of our pets. They provide us with unconditional love and acceptance in an ever changing world of social media, likes and feelings of complete inadequacy and jealousy.

Our pets never judge us, trust us implicitly and they provide us with our routine and with their never-failing love; it only makes sense to keep our pets as healthy as possible. This is exactly what I feel about Ruff and our 2 little guinea pigs.

I love my morning routine of walking, cuddling, feeding and saying good morning to them before anyone in my human family. Now cooking for Ruff and seeing the pleasure he gets from the food I feed him reassures me daily that I am doing the right thing for his health and well-being:)
