Good morning.TGIF and the weekend begins. Did you know my petting your dog is good for your healthA pet is certainly a great friend. After a difficult day, pet owners quite literally feel the love. In fact, for nearly 25 years, research has shown that living with pets provides certain health benefits. Pets help lower blood pressure and lessen anxiety. They boost our immunity.

I have heard that petting animals, growing flowers, and similar activities are good for your health and especially if you have high blood pressure. Although that wouldn't work for me. Not much an animal lover and have never been good at gardening. But I know it works for other people.

I don't have a pet but I enjoy other people's pets. There is something joyful about a warm wiggly animal acting like you are the most important person who ever lived. It is soothing to pet them and hold them.

I have always felt more relaxed while stroking/petting a dog. I miss having one, but the last one was so special that she left a huge hole in my heart that makes me not want another one at this time. Ms Ruby is a good looking dog!

I think that they give great comfort and that there are certainly health benefits to having a pet

Pretty little Ms. Ruby. What is her breed? We've taken our Sally pup on vacations. One lady ran up and asked if she could kiss Sally cause she missed her own dog. (Hubby was along so I didn't want a date. Not sure that Sally wanted one, either!)

My animals make me happy, I would love if mine could come inside but since I have serve allergies I have to make sure they live outside comfortably and that I make time everyday to spend with them. They make me move around!
