Having the little animals running around and being so happy and carefree as they play. Brings you into a mellow state of mind. Staring off into space, as the colorful toys roll past you, and the ferrets make their chirping noises as they scamper around the rooms pushing things around that make different noises. Focusing on all that takes you away from the real world and brings you into a happier place. I remember rushing home to play with my ferret after a hard day, just to achieve that state of mind to calm my self down. After playing with her my mind would be at ease for the rest of the day/evening. Snowball R.I.P. <3 (mind the giant picture please)
I'm more a guinea person but you're right. Nothing makes the crap of the day melt away like letting them down for some floor time and watching their antics. You just can't be miserable when the 'squeak and run' is invoked. Love the denim hammock btw!
