Junior Guinea Pig
I just wanted to share how well trained I am according to my little pig 
Tico had IC and so for a year and a half, every night I had to give her glucosamine (she's apparently got over it now). But after 500+ sessions we worked out she has trained me perfectly! Somehow she decided that it is my right arm that carries her home. Now whenever she's on my lap, when she's done with cuddles and wants to go back she climbs up on my right arm and shoves me to ask to go home. If she's having floor time I can ask if she wants to go home by showing her my right arm - if she's done, she'll hop right on. And it's specifically the right - left arms don't take you home apparently.
Here's my pig tax of her enjoying a hay pile.
(Yes, I know I shouldn't just carry her in my arms, but she really isn't a wriggler and waits for me to put her down. Her husboar Cookie gets transported in things because he is very prone to blind jumps)

It’s amazing how intelligent they are and how they can wrap us around their little finger. I have two piggies that roam around the lounge when we are at home. They have a matt which they both sit on and watch the world go by, we have never had one single pee accident ever, they go straight back into their cage when they need to.
