Dogs

Yes,I take great care of my pets.I have one dog and one cat.the dog I groom him myself,I bought him a winter jacket for when it's cold.I feed him canned food and hard food.I believe they should eat both,I do the same for my cat.If something's wrong with him he's goes to the vet.I had to rush him there about a month ago,because my dog poisoned himself.He's recovered from that incident now.The dog I learned I have to be very careful with,because he's sneaky and will get into things that is bad for him.I love when my dog lays on lap,he love a massage and to be pet.He always come to me for attention.The cat want some sometimes.The cat is more independant than the dog.I love them both and do care for them.

yes I do think that , We treat ours as family they are an extention of the humans and get very close to them

I am a dog lover. I have 4 indoor dogs and one outdoor dog. I agree with you that animals can give the much needed relaxation which is a great help to those who are on bp medications. I treat my dogs much like I treat humans. They frequently travel with me when I shuttle between my two homes. And they sure enjoy the car ride. I just don't think I can live without them as they accompany during my lonely days...ehmmmmmm

Yes, pets can be very comforting and enjoyable to have around. My pets have always been an important part of my family...even as a child growing up...and I really can't imagine not having one in the house.
