It's awesome when pets get to the bonding point where they want to interact with you and do cute things.
I just had a moment like that when I held the girls. I had Iris out on the towels first, and was getting Dahlia out of the cage, when I felt Iris put her paws on me. I just stayed focused on getting Dahlia when Iris decided to just jump on my lap and snuggle. After getting Dahlia out I gave Iris some one-on-one attention for being so sweet, which got her sister jealous, so Dahlia decided to tug on my sleeve.
They've never sat with me so long before. Dahlia laid down and went to sleep while Iris got as close as she could to me and let me put an arm around her. This is why I love guinea pigs; it's rewards like this that make the large food bills and cleaning gross cages worth it.
