Pets are important to the therapeutic lifestyle of people. Pets decrease one's blood pressure with giving them a pet on the head. Pets look in our eyes and know our each and every thought. When we are sad they come to our side and comfort us. They are attention seekers as well as attention givers.
I use to wonder what people meant when they said “A dog is man's best friend” and now I completely know what the meaning is.
My dog I have had for over 11 years; has been with me through thick and thin. She has looked into my eyes when I have been sad. She has dropped her bone on my lap when I have been sick in bed with the flu.
My cat on the other hand also comes to me when I am not feeling up to par. She lies down on my bed and cuddles near my pillow. Her whiskers tickle my neck at times. She remains jealous of the dog and seeks my undivided attention.
I love them both and have cherished each and every moment that God has given me with them.
