We have always has a canine family member for as long as I can remember. One of the most important proven benefits is heart health, which you pointed out. Since there is a history in my family, I will not live without my babies.

Our little buddy Jake brings us so much more joy than then the reasons to not have a pet.
Beautiful photos as always Robin!

So many people, my daughter and her boyfriend included wanted to get a puppy!
They both are unemployed now but I told them once this is over they won’t have time to properly take care of the puppy.
It’s a great idea as an older adult with more time on our hands even after we get back to normal.

Hugs,
Robin

Yes I have seen the wonderful stories of vets with dogs.
Dogs are wonderful therapy pets.
I found it interesting that grandkids who are exposed to dogs don’t develop allergies to them.
Interesting tribit!

Hugs,
Robin

Yes, our pets have provided us much love and normalcy during our shutdown.
Having to take care of Bruno and walking him to get my steps in has also kept my weight down.

I also love cats!
Robin

My husband, who now is at home because of COVID 19, wants a dog. I’m not showing him this article! Lol! 😉

There are so many reasons why a dog is dubbed a man’s best friend. Now more than ever pets are wonderful life saving companions. I’ve hosted charity golf outings for wounded soldiers who are given rescue dogs to help them heal. The success stories were very heartwarming.

Have a great week Robin.
