Do pets help you enjoy your life?

I have two miniature poodles, Secret is white with black patches and Magic is plain black. They are wonderful and loving companions. They sit with me on the sofa and when I feel unwell Magic cuddles up next to me. Secret loves to play with toys and he never gets bored if I throw and he catches. It is so enjoyable to take my dogs out for a walk. I take them along a country path next to a river and their favorite walk is to a sandy beach. I get much joy from seeing them race up and down the sand dunes. Do you have pets that help you enjoy life? If so what sort of pet? What does your pet do that makes you happy?

You seem to have the ideal live, lots of travel, family and pets you love being close to. you are very lucky maximax. However to answer your question, I intend gatting a dog on return from Australia in February, and I'm looking forward to that. And yes he'll get a daily morning walk, alyhough there will be no beach walks for him - heavy fine here for that. Pets do make your life more enjoyable, that's for sure!

My pets are a huge part of my life. I have a black and white Alaskan Malamute named Roxy and a brown and white chocolate lab/pointer mix named Kingston. Kingston is the newest addition and we got him in April. He just turned 8 months old and Roxy is 5 years old. Kingston loves being an inside dog and Roxy only really likes being outside. They are such goofballs too. They'll ham it up for anybody, especially Kingston. Kingston loves to play fetch and he would probably play all day if you would let him. He also gets super lazy after he plays and just sleeps and sleeps. I want to take them to a local dog park around here and watch them play in the water and play with other dogs. Kingston especially loves water, so that will be funny to watch.

Absolutely, when I'm sad, my cat, Baby, knows and he tries to chear me up. He usually does something silly to make me feel better. He also is nice and warm on cold days. He kills mice so I don't have to. I love when he's silly and he makes me smile.

I think pets help you to enjoy life. I have two kitties who are 10 months old and watching them play together can make you laugh, when they come up and sit on your lap and wanted petted it makes you feel good as you know they love you. It is even said that people who have pets live longer. I think pets are wonderful to have as long as you can take care of them properly.
