Pets

Your pets are more than just companions—they’re self-care! Steven, Sophie and Shannon heat up the age-old debate of cats versus dogs, and add on versus fish and versus squirrels too. Shannon explains the ways that pets are pretty much our babies (literally) and what happens in our brains when we’re around them. We highly suggest pairing this episode with the bouncy puppy meme.
