Physicians and Psychologists say that loving, caring for, and spending time with with animals enhances our well being. Anyone who has ever been adored by a dog or cat probably can't convey in words the emotional bond that grows between them.
I know that bond. My last dog, Sadie, was a pug. If you look up pugs, you'll find they're playful, affectionate, charming, stubborn, mischievous, clever, docile, sociable, attentive, loving, quiet and calm. But never all this on the same day!! hahaha But having a pet can give a person's life purpose, and having a pet to care for brings out the best in us. It's not always the easiest task, but nothing worthwhile is ever easy.
As a puppy, my Sadie was a handful! And even though I was told that having a pug is like having a two year old, I figured that kind of fun would decrease as she grew older. I was wrong! She was still stubborn at 8 yrs as she was at 1 year.
If you have a pet, you know that you can't just feed them, walk them, and ignore them. You invited them into your life, now you should share that. Pets need to be stroked, cuddled, indulged, pampered and played with. As much as you dote on them, they will return that affection to you many times over.
Today, be grateful you can share you life with a living creature who gives you much love. There's nothing that makes you smile more than the sight of your dog greeting you at the door when you come home ---- no matter if you've been gone all day, or just 15 minutes, the wagging tail and smile on their face never falters!
